This date is in the past.

First blend some fruit, then cook it hot, and finally let it cool gently: It’s probably no coincidence that the sound of Gelée (French for ‘Jelly’) is similar to the versatile condiment we all know and love. Colourful and nostalgic, but also as coherent as a block of gel, the trio from Rostock blend Hi-NRG à la Pet Shop Boys with Casio synthesizers, vintage pop with the Italo disco revival that has been burgeoning for a few years now to create a sweet style mixture. The result is not only danceable, but also dreamily romantic and is above all the ideal soundtrack for time travel into the past and the future. ‘Best Under Pressure’ and ‘Never Knew Better’ (2024) were two singles that

followed their debut EP, ‘Skinny Dipping’ (2023) – which was celebrated at least in the Rostock underground – and that underlined how reliably the group are pursuing this very own revival as a stylistic development. Even though the ingredients are familiar, Gelée create music for a wide variety of tastes with impressive elegance, which is quite new here in Germany. So, it’s high time they finally came to us in Hamburg.
