Well, you might get the most brilliant soundtrack for intelligent hedonists who need to party without worrying about next days evil hangover. This is where the german underground pop duo Planetakis comes in...

Planetakis´s euphoric songs range from sugarcandy pop to futuristic electropunk, ironic comments on urban lifestyle written in a mixed english-german language. Their punkadelic-energetic on-stage performance is notorious for giving the audience an uber-adrenalin kick full of positive aggression.



The duo decided to make their anthemic electropop song "Pogo In The Shoes Of Kylie Minogue" available for free. It has been downloaded more than 40.000 times by now and appeared in many DJ playlists from Amsterdam to LA. Their second album "Out Of The Club Into The Night" has been released in august 2007 by Peng Musik/Cargo Records.

They are located in Cologne, a city with an international reputation for minimal techno (Kompakt), kraut-rock (Can) and its orgiastic carnival. Jenny and Robert also just started a brand new heavy-electro project called Mixroboter.



The band members:
Jenny Fey sings with a bright voice and plays her Microkorg synth like a guitar on stage. Her musical background is hardcore punk, she´s singing with her punk band "Inner Conflict" for 10 years now. She´s a professional actress as well, acting in plays from Shakespeare and Schiller. Her brother directs and produces videos for Planetakis, her mother is a photographer and made a lot of photos for the band´s artwork.

Robert Drakogiannakis has a mixed heritage, german and greek. He loves to wear suits and to bang his guitar. Before Planetakis he acted this obsessions out by being the man in front of the successful german pop-punk band Angelika Express, a group that caused quite a stir with hard rocking, ironic deutsch-pop. He complements his skills as a singer, guitarist and songwriter with his passion for making digital sounds rrrrock. (-) collapse
