Bound By Endogamy is a duo active since 2019. It is made up of Kleio Thomaïdes and Shlomo Balexert. Both musicians come from the squat/punk scene. Their live project consists of drums, a sampler and female vocals. It has been described as a cross between DAF and Kleenex with a more hardcore background.
The band began by producing remixes for The Horrorist, for Carlo Onda, and electro tracks on Icelandic label Intellitronic Bubble. Their first 7’’ was released in 2021 on Zurich label Lux Rec. Their first EP, released as a 6-track cassette on the North American label Dead Channel, was reissued on vinyl in November 2023 by Les Disques Mauvais Garçons (Paris), Màgia Roja (Barcelona) and Les Disques Bongo Joe (Geneva). And a first 8-track album was released on 8 December 2023 by Les Disques Bongo Joe. Their next record, scheduled for 1 March 2024, is a split vinyl with Raw Ambassador on the Acid Avengers series published by French label Tripalium Corp.
BBE have already toured in Switzerland, France, Belgium, Holland, Spain, Greece and Turkey. They will be performing in the UK for the first time on 13 February 2024 for a live session on BBC 6. The duo also offers live dj sets and mixes for podcasts and webradios.
