History

Culture Kultür are frontman Salva Maine, Josua at the programming and Distortiongirl as live keyboardist. The band was born in 1992 in Malaga, Southern Spain, evolving from a 80s alike EBM with distorted voices to a more electro sound with energetic beats, melodic synths and meaningful lyrics boosted by powerful vocals.

After their signing with Out of Line in 1999 they have supported the Mexican band Hocico in the Tierra Electrica '99 Tour, played in mayor festivals as WGT, M'era Luna, Infest & Eurorock, performing gigs in USA, Mexico and Canada, and included dozens of songs in different compilations.

Their EP "DNA Slaves" reached the 10th position in DAC charts (German alternative charts), and their second album, Revenge, contains hits that have been spun all over the world, becoming a club classic.

The band has released in June 2005 a new album called Reborn, which has received excellent reviews from the press and also reached position 3 at the DAC charts.

'Spirit' album (2010): this new album represent the perfect mix between hard worked melodies, club oriented rhythms, dark cadences and reality inspired lyrics. But there is more in this work beyond the classic danceable tracks that have made the band style popular. We can find a musical aperture to the mid-tempos whose result is both surprising and touching. Its heavy beats, catchy choruses, real life topics, and vital attitude make this album a work that represents the present of underground electropop. The universe is full of spirit and you are part of it...
