DEAR JOHN & THE LAB MACHINES

"It's not common in the Hispanic market to come across a proposal like this [...] what they do is so original and different that it should have its own category [...] a complete pleasure for all the senses." This is how Whitebox Music (MX) describes DEAR JOHN AND THE LAB MACHINES, highlighting their distinctive character in the emerging music scene.

This Argentine project, created in 2018 by Juan Sendoya and Marcos Vicente, weaves its own sound and transcends borders by merging Dark Pop, Emo Folk, electronic and orchestral elements.

With four EPs and nine singles to their name, their enigmatic sound captivates listeners in over 60 countries. International media outlets like Culture Fix (UK), Whitebox Music (MX), and GigSoup (US) applaud their uniqueness in addressing uncommon themes in the mainstream: the ghosts of mental health, the mysteries of death, and the experiences of the LGBTQ+ community.

HIGHLIGHTS

The electrifying atmosphere of their live performances takes the audience on an emotional journey. Their stage presence and vocal prowess intertwine with theatrical and visual elements designed to provide a multisensory experience. Their notable participation in the International Festival Pal Futuro Fest (MX) and their shared shows with bands like Asteroides cement their performance expertise.

Among their achievements and recognitions are: in 2018 and 2019, reaching #1 on iTunes Argentina with their first two EPs (Rubicon and Rubicon Vol. II); winning the Open Latin American Music Contest of the Luciérnaga Foundation (AR) in 2020; their inclusion in the 2022 curated compilation Pure Latin Synth Vol. 2 by the British record label Aztec Records; the selection of their music video "What Sadness Looks Like" at the ONED Experimental Film Festival (China + France), and their recent win at the 2023 Music Video Awards organized by the Buenos Aires Ministry of Culture.
