badtime — darkwave / synth-punk / antwerp, belgium
badtime is a dark wave and synth punk duo created by artists Kevin Schuit (Aruba) and Ioana Ciora (Romania). Formed in 2020 as a visual art collaboration, the project quickly evolved into a fully formed universe where sound and image are treated as one language.
​
Now living in Antwerp, Belgium, they continue to expand their world with intention, always just left of the beaten path. badtime’s music is sinister, hypnotic, and undeniably danceable.

press & highlights
"Badtime from Antwerp transports you to a completely different world. With a mix of gothic dark wave and hard techno beats, the singer strides left and right through flashing red lights, hammering away on his guitar. The melancholic yet fast beats and unique guitar riffs leave the crowd with no choice but to dance."
