Brutalismus 3000 are the stars of a new advertisement for Tinder.
The 30-second ad, produced by Amsterdam marketing agency LePub and launched in Europe last week, charts the Berlin-based hard techno duo’s rise to stardom in reverse, closing with Tinder’s tagline, “It starts with a swipe.”
Not long before staking their claim as one of techno’s most exciting new acts, it was the simple swipe of a finger on the online dating app that brought Brutalismus 3000 members Victoria Vassiliki Daldas and Theo Zeitner together for the first time.
After meeting on Tinder in 2018, their shared love for music led the couple to form Brutalismus 3000 in 2019, and they’ve been on a tear ever since. In 2023, the group released their debut album, ULTRAKUNST, and followed it up with a sold-out European headline tour ahead of additional global festival dates through 2024.
Their latest EP release, GOODBYE SALÒ, arrived last July, featuring punky, warped techno hits like “Europaträume” and “9mm.”
