The second record will be released on June 26th. Featuring: Boys Noize, Anya Taylor-Joy and Underworld.
Brutalism 3000 have announced the successor to 2023’s “ULTRAKUNST”: “Harmony” is scheduled to be released on June 26th.
Parallel to the album announcement, the Berlin hyperpop techno duo – consisting of producer Theo Zeitner and singer Victoria Vassiliki Daldas – is releasing the first single “I Bring My Gun To The Function”. The track is accompanied by a music video by director Mau Morgo, who has worked with artists such as Rosalía, FKA twigs and Madonna.
International guests and stylistic opening
For “Harmony” Theo Zeitner once again acted as main producer, supported by co-productions from Boys Noize and Dylan Brady from 100 gecs. The album also features guest contributions from Anya Taylor-Joy and Underworld.
According to the duo, “Harmony” is intended to bring together B3K’s different musical influences more than before. Stylistically, the record moves between dubstep, trap, punk, nu metal and techno. The originally rather ironic title became increasingly important over the course of the production process after the various elements of the LP came together to form a coherent overall picture.

Between club, festival and global attention
In recent years, B3K have established themselves internationally. Theo Zeitner and Victoria Vassiliki Daldas have performed at Berghain, the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, the Ultra Music Festival and the Primavera Festival in Barcelona, among others. Their Boiler Room gigs also reached an audience of millions.
The band most recently toured North America supporting FKA twigs. Further concerts in Europe, Asia and North America have already been announced.
Between self-protection and social insecurity
According to B3K, “Harmony” thematically addresses increased social tensions and insecurities. Despite its provocative title, the new single “I Bring My Gun To The Function” is not intended to be an aggressive pose, but instead addresses a feeling of insecurity and self-protection in an increasingly tense world situation.
Other songs on the album also deal with borderline experiences, alienation and social conflicts. At the same time, Brutalism 3000 emphasize that “Harmony” consciously does not seek a fixed geographical or stylistic classification.
