Animistic Beliefs, inspired by Indigenous animism, crafts a unique musical language blending IDM and Global Club influences. The Rotterdam-based duo, formed by Linh and Marvin, explores their experiences as queer POC, drawing from their Moluccan and Vietnamese-Chinese heritage. Their music combines elements of techno and electro with Southeast Asian rhythms, resulting in vibrant, genre-defying soundscapes. Albums like 'Mindset:Reset' and 'MERDEKA' exemplify this cultural fusion, while their live performances feature punk vocals and industrial loops. Engaging with new media and fashion, they push creative boundaries, creating a lasting impact on European techno and contemporary music.
Their exploration of liminal spaces reflects an unpredictable and multifaceted approach, celebrating cultural intersections and merging distinct soundscapes to create a unique auditory experience.
Animistic Beliefs’ music is a powerful testament to their cultural roots, skillfully weaving together influences from their Moluccan and Vietnamese-Chinese backgrounds, creating hybrids that transcend traditional boundaries.
