The genre-defying, trailblazing duo hackedepicciotto presents their new album, The Best of hackedepicciotto (Live in Napoli). Available on double vinyl, limited to 500 copies with exclusive signed print.

The album collates over 20 years of collaboration, experimentation and innovative work over two live performances recorded at Auditorium Novecento, one of the oldest recording studios in Europe.

This new collection of what the duo (Alexander Hacke & Danielle de Picciotto) have dubbed Symphonic Drone is a mixture of industrial beats, electronic sounds with classical harmonies and melodies, with an added pinch of throat singing, hurdy-gurdy and spoken word.

The Best of hackedepicciotto (Live in Napoli) showcases live interpretations of music from across their career. The album includes reinterpretations of tracks from all of their studio albums: Keepsakes (2023), a tender exploration of friendship and loss; The Silver Threshold (2021), their defiant reaction to the pandemic; Perseverantia (2016), which dealt with the artists’ nomadic lifestyle; Menetekel (2017), which embodies their collective despair at the state of the world; and the powerful energy of The Current (2020), recorded by the Irish Sea.

For over 20 years Alexander Hacke (Einstürzende Neubauten) and artist, musician and filmmaker Danielle de Picciotto (co-founder of Love Parade) have been developing and evolving a symbiotic working practice together. The duo gave up their home and travelled the world, boldly defying convention and becoming a modern, musical version of Bonnie and Clyde, racing from concert to concert and releasing albums at breakneck speed.
