About Electric Callboy

Emerging from Castrop-Rauxel, Germany, Electric Callboy, formerly known as Eskimo Callboy, have carved a distinctive niche in the heavy music landscape since their formation in 2010. What began as a bold experiment in blending aggressive post-hardcore with danceable electronic elements has evolved into a global phenomenon. Their sound is a deliberate, often exhilarating, juxtaposition of guttural screams and melodic vocals, underpinned by pulsing synths, driving electronic beats, and ferocious guitar riffs. This unique sonic alchemy has propelled them from underground sensation to festival headliners and chart-topping artists.

Throughout their career, Electric Callboy have consistently pushed creative boundaries, refusing to be confined by genre conventions. Their albums, including “The Scene” (2019), “Rehab” (2020), and the critically acclaimed “Tekkno” (2022), showcase a remarkable evolution, each release building upon their signature sound while introducing new layers of experimentation. “Tekkno,” in particular, saw them achieve widespread international success, resonating with a vast audience hungry for their energetic and often tongue-in-cheek approach to heavy music.

Notable hits that have become anthems for their dedicated fanbase include the explosive “Pump It,” a track that perfectly encapsulates their ability to fuse aggression with an irresistible party vibe. “Hypa Hypa,” with its instantly recognisable synth melody and infectious chorus, became a viral sensation, demonstrating their knack for crafting universally appealing hooks. Further cementing their reputation are tracks like “We Got The Moves,” a high-octane banger that epitomises their live energy, and “FCK YEAH,” a defiant declaration of their unbound spirit.
