Artist Detailed Info: Dark Patterns

Berlin’s Dark Patterns are an experimental post-punk/electronica trio featuring Jonas Duus of And Yet It Moves, Droem, Astral Tide and Nonoia, sporadically self-producing genre-fluid stand-alone singles under their Wrongfoot Records imprint.

”An agitated and spiky post-punk sound with a high dose of electronic pulse, a pinch of psych and a new wave atmosphere. A showcase of noisy, dark, and enlightening urban therapy.” (Psychgazer)

”An electronic attack evoking and connecting with Atari Teenage Riot and other sonic terrorists. True machine gun drum&bass gazepunk.“ (TBTCI)

“Dreamy synths and sparks of electronica haze in and out of the music, providing an affinity of deeper conceptions of complex consciousness.” (Left Bank Mag)

In 2012, Matthew Potter (vocals, bass, engineering) and Jonas Duus (drums, synths, vocals, production) released a self-titled EP with London-based shoegazers Trim the Barber. After moving to Berlin in 2013, they formed Astral Tide with Kora Yeoman (guitars, vocals, synths, bass, engineering) and released the ‘How Far, Are You Out There?’ 12” EP in 2016. TBTCI Records approached the band in 2017 to record a cover of a Wire song for the album ‘Single K.O. - Wire Revisited’, the outcome was a self-produced D&B rendition of “In Manchester” that served as the catalyst for the birth of Dark Patterns.
