Giulio Erasmus & The Ordeal

Giulio Erasmus & The Ordeal, based in Berlin, Germany, blend Wave and Minimalism in a chilled atmosphere. Synthesizer sounds intertwine with spoken texts, while sparse beats provide a structure that holds the other elements in a questionable fragility. Listening to their songs, the artwork seems strange yet concrete, somewhat eerie but distant. Recombinant experimental and slack-funked DIY alt.pop meld together in Giulio Erasmus & The Ordeal's serpentine forms, aided by new backing quartet The Slipped Disc, offering choice, grooving, and earworming tunes distilled from essences of Flaming Tunes, Lifetones, Jac Berrocal, and Grace Jones.

Giulio Erasmus & The Ordeal played in Dubstation at Fusion festival 2026 and in Datscha at Fusion festival 2025.
