The duo Slush Eyes plays hard-hitting DK Dance. With one finger in the air, they sing songs about melancholic, euphoric nights out, about life’s surreal and lonely moments, and about love breaking apart on a cold curb on a Thursday night. When Slush Eyes performs, loneliness and insecurity transform into extravagant bubblegum colors, crystal-clear melodies, and irresistible beats.
As a contrast to the closed circles on the city’s dance floors and the cool atmosphere of techno clubs, Mikkel and Kristoffer from Slush Eyes look back to the naivety and unpretentious community of the ‘90s. They embrace bright, pastel-colored melodies and grand chords while a deep blue melancholy floats through their bubblegum landscapes.
It’s a kind of Eurodance mixed with Nordic Noir and Danish irony. Together, they are both playful and bigger than life. And they create a space where there’s room to feel blue and room to be on. Where, with slushy eyes, you can raise a finger in the air and let yourself be absorbed into their sugar-coated, neon-colored, and cathartic darkroom.
