About

The band name RADARFIELD comes from the vision of exploring the visible and invisible world (RADAR) and of conveying information from the tangible, intangible and fantastic acoustically and/or visually in the songs/videos (FIELD).

RADARFIELD – was founded in Berlin at the end of 2010 in the formation: Voc/Git –Bass – Keys – Drums. All four musicians had already played in various projects before RADARFIELD was founded and had gained some stage experience with their bands. After the drummer was replaced by a beat machine in 2011, RADARFIELD's first songs were initially in the post-punk/alternative genre. RADARFIELD released their first mini-CD (3 songs – in a small edition) in 2011 – already in the reduced 3-person formation: Voc+Git / Bass / Keys / Beat machine.

At the end of 2011, the bassist left the band and ended his life a short time later. The search for another bassist ultimately ended in the decision to use more "electronics". Over time, RADARFIELD's songs approached the musical genres of electronica, darkwave, synthwave paired with drum n' bass influences.

The singer sings in English (except "SCHMERZEN, 2024), mostly mysteriously with poetic lyrics - dense and vivid. Some songs outline a dark world in the here and now as well as in the near future. Other songs are tied into current topics and describe the fears and inadequacies of being human as well as the beginning and end of love.

The first songs created by the reduced new formation were “BLACK & CHROME” (2011) and “FIGHTN MACHINE” (2012). “FIGHTN MACHINE” appeared shortly afterwards on the Underground Compilation 2, in time for the 2nd Darkflower Live Night in Leipzig.
