During the hot Belgian Summer of 2011, out of
the dark and into the blue, a boy and a girl collide to create Shindu.
True Flemings Chibi and Christopher exploded on to the electronic dance
scene with their debut EP ‘Happy House’, which had a solid release on
renowned French labelKitsuné.
Shindu rapidly were called a new and refreshing synthpopsensation,
dreaming up stories to create jaunty yet clever tracks drenched in late 80s
electronica and atmospherics.
As every tale has its beginning, so does this dynamic
duo. Chris started out as a dj with a repertory mainly consisting
of miscellaneous electro and pop digressions. Minds tend to change
and so did his ambition to aim for a higher level of music perception.
Along the journey roaming different venues, clubs,
studios, radio shows and meeting industry big shots over the years, the time
felt right to reinvent himself. Merging with Shindu’s leading lady Chibi, meant
creating electronic pop chemistry. She carries Shindu’s vocals on a carpet of
colors.
These music makers deliver tracks in their typical
unrestrained and spontaneous way, whether it’s in the studio or behind
decks, they always bear happiness and love wherever they go.
Shindu literally means a celebration with friends,
a drive along sunny roads, shorelessly being yourself in a continuous loop…
