Pureblast
New name, same power: Pureblast (formerly known as Baraka) channels the explosive and contagious energy of the duo into an uncompromising live act. At the crossroads of the new punk-electronic movement, their music fuses powerful vocals, percussive beats, aggressive basslines and synth layers influenced by dance music, progressive trance, hard-hitting cold electronic sounds, techno, and industrial rock: a hybrid sound that reveals its full power on stage.
Pureblast transcends genres and spaces: capable of transforming a concert hall into a dance floor or building up a club's energy to the level of a punk show, the duo adapts seamlessly to each venue, delivering audiences an immersive and cathartic experience and offering a whole new way to party. Their live performances have already set fire to venues such as Berghain/Panorama Bar (Berlin), RSO (Berlin), C12 (Brussels) and festivals like Nuits Sonores (Lyon, Brussels), Positive Education (Saint-Étienne), Draaimolen (Tilburg), Peacock Festival (Paris), Pitch Festival (Australia) and Transmusicales (Rennes). This is just the beginning for the band, whose cathartic, futuristic music is likely to echo long into the night.

While Pureblast is born for the stage, their roots remain deeply anchored in DJ culture. Behind the decks, the duo unleash the same restless energy as in their productions, channeling it into intense and unpredictable DJ sets. Their selections fuse percussive techno, deep progressive trance, tech house, as well as rave and hard-edged electronic sounds into high-voltage journeys. From hypnotic build-ups to deep bass grooves, their sets are designed to captivate, drive and ignite the crowd.
As a duo at the forefront of the new French electronic scene, Pureblast shape the revival of club and dance culture. They have already left their mark on iconic clubs such as Blitz (Munich), Macadam (Nantes), Lofi (Amsterdam), RSO (Berlin) or Essaim (Paris) as well as on global platforms like Boiler Room and Intercell, cementing their reputation as one of the most exciting acts in today’s scene.
