Berlin-based, Strasbourg‘s DJ-producer Post Traumatic provides a propulsive and throbbing fusion of Darkwave, Post-Punk, EBM, Industrial and Techno sounds, interlaced with the deep yet powerful haunted vocals by French polyhedric artist, vocal performer and lyricist VALANAÏS aka Valérie Hendrich, for a dark dystopian sonic journey into ‘the depths of bat caves’.
