2DCAT — Dark Synthpop & Darkwave

2DCAT is a dark synthpop project from Washington, D.C., led by Johan Hauck. Their music draws from darkwave, coldwave, minimal wave, and EBM traditions rooted in late 1970s and early 1980s European electronic music, built on vintage analog synthesizers and drum machines alongside self-built synthesizers and FPGA-based instruments that Johan designs and fabricates from scratch. The result is melancholic, cinematic, and made for both the dancefloor and solitude.

Their sound belongs to the Schwarze Szene and appeals to fans of Lebanon Hanover, Boy Harsher, Kite, NNHMN, Linea Aspera, Minuit Machine, Propaganda, and Zanias. Based in Washington D.C., 2DCAT performs across North America and Europe.
