ABOP

The After is Better than the Party. Translated to their native Croatian language. Trimmed to a size of a four letter acronym - ABOP. It's a live music group inspired by Chicago house, Detroit techno and other early club music genres. There's a rave on the floor, the audience is in trance – but there is no DJ – instead, ABOP consists of five exquisite musicians on the stage. Live techno band.

 

Live drum machine consists of two drummers who share a single drum set, adapted to fit their needs. The centerpiece of electronic music. Accompanied by heavy bass lines and both analogue and digital synths. All blended together within an intricate sound design. 

 

ABOP is best consumed live. When their musical performance is illuminated by dynamic light design and energetic visual performance. On 45 RPM 12'' vinyl EP you can find their first studio recording. The self-titled EP mastered by techno superstar Petar Dundov and released on the busiest regional independent label - PDV Records. 

 

They've played numerous venues and graced various festival stages in the region (Croatia, Slovenia, Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Macedonia and Kosovo). Gigged in Austria, Italy and performed on the highly acclaimed Dimensions Festival.
