An immersive live electronic duo reinventing the club experience

FrÉ - vocals, synths

Jo Beyer - drums

MIC IN THE FACE IS NOT ON PURPOSE is the electrifying collaboration between Cologne-based drummer Jo Beyer and Dutch electro-pop artist FRÉ — a meeting of explosive acoustic drums, shimmering synths, and fearless vocals.
Their sound lives between the club and the concert hall: Adventurous electronic dance music with a cinematic pulse. Think driving beats, vivid textures, and moments that blur the line between rave and dream sequence. With FRÉ’s magnetic stage presence and Jo’s high-voltage drumming, the duo creates a world where spontaneity meets precision — music that moves your body and lights up your mind. Beneath the surface, their music carries a simmering awareness of what it means to use your voice and platform in a noisy world.

It’s music for late nights, neon lights - made to make you feel alive.

Upcoming Releases

In August 2025, MIC IN THE FACE IS NOT ON PURPOSE played their release show at MTC Club in Cologne, marking the birth of their first single “Les Grands Marches” - the opening track of their upcoming three-track EP PLUS ONE. Following that successful night, the duo will release “Felt Ode” in November 2025 and “Naar Jou” in January 2026, after which they’ll start writing their debut full-length album in spring 2026.
