About

Digitalism are a German electronic duo from Hamburg, formed in 2004 by Jens 'Jence' Moelle and İsmail 'Isi' Tüfekçi after the two met at a record store and began recording together in a WWII bunker studio. Their 2007 debut album Idealism - released on Kitsuné and Astralwerks - established them as key figures in the electro-house and indie-dance crossover scene, with the anthemic single Pogo becoming a lasting club staple. Over two decades they have remixed Daft Punk, Depeche Mode, The White Stripes and The Cure, and in 2026 released their fifth studio album Optimism on their own label, Magnetism.
