Kontravoid / Kris Baha | Club Control
Kontravoid / Kris Baha | Club Control
Dark pop/EBM masters Kontravoid and Kris Baha are joining forces on an upcoming European tour, visiting Bucharest for the first time – November 10 at Control Club.
Kontravoid’s masked mystique has remained for over a decade. Ever since the release of his self-titled LP in 2012, the Canadian-born, Los Angeles-based Cameron Findlay has perfected dark pop with his oeuvre that teeters between the EBM, electro and goth genres. His productions, such as 2019’s “Too Deep” and 2021’s “Faceless,” dive to the most derelict corners of foggy, strobe-lit clubs: there is no choice but to dance. But there is an uncanny softness and obvious songwriting ability to compose heart-wrenching songs that are both captivating and drenched in melancholy—2018’s “Undone” has been a fan favorite since it came out on Berlin’s Fleisch Records.
Onstage, Kontravoid demands the audience’s attention with his powerful performance that balances his specific concoction of harsh beats with his signature bass line rhythmic patterns. He’s toured alongside Boy Harsher, ADULT., Drab Majesty and Hide, and has remixed the likes of Schwefelgelb and Kris Baha. Truly a man of the shadows, Kontravoid is an unparalleled fixture in the dark electronic arena.

Australian/Italian-Armenian Kris Baha is a fixture in Berlin’s Industrial EBM & club scene, where he dives deep into the void, to deliver extended sets of otherworldly machine music driven by emotion and mood as well as running his own live and DJ focused party night, Wired. The same ethos applies to his performance-based live shows, which were initially inspired by his love for the pioneering gigs of the first industrial music era.
When not channelling the musical spirits to inspire dancers, Baha can be found lurking in the shadows of his studio space. There, he performs remix duties for the likes of celebrated artists & bands such as Boy Harsher, Boys Noize, Kontravoid, Qual (Lebanon Hanover), Inhalt, Patriachy, Hercules & Love Affair, Red Axes +++ . To date, Kris has built a loyal fanbase of followers in the electronic music scene over the last 13 years from Australia to Berlin and now beyond due to his extensive career bending the lines of artistry.
