Analog Balato
The duo of Zsuffa Aba and Vörös Ákos, Analog Balaton was founded in Budapest in 2017. Their songs, which were released sporadically at first, have gathered a growing fan base. The duo's diverse compositions have made Analog Balaton one of the most exciting bands in the country, whose sound has been based on acoustic guitar music and darker-toned, pulsating electronics from the very beginning.
Their second album was released in October this year and they will close the year 2024 with a double concert at the House of Music.

The career of Analog Balaton is unique in more ways than one. They had not yet recorded and released any songs when they were already playing sold-out live-act parties across the country. From the domestic underground circles, they then pushed forward and were able to reach a wide audience with their first album in 2021, but in a way that the nine-track album Lent stayed true to the improvisational, minimalist electronica of the beginning, while the songs on it are already characterised by very strong lyrics.
The debut album is a story of broken evenings, languid mornings and lonely sadness, and the honest lyrics hit home immediately, with Lent an undivided success with both the industry and the public. In 2022, there was no festival without Analog Balaton, and in the same year their next EP, Csússz le (Slide Down), landed with contributors such as Csaba Szendrői (Elephant) and 6363 (Gege). Zsuffa Aba and Ákos Vörös didn't slow down in 2023 either, and to top it all off, they won the Music Hungary Showtime Award at the end of the year. The band's second album was released in October 2024, entitled Crack, an extended version of Slide Down. After the album launch concert, the band will go on a tour of the country, and then close the year with a double concert at the House of Music.
