Phreneticus

"Phreneticus" is the wild, pseudonym-driven experimental electronic project of Belgian artist Bram Stadhouders, known for cranking out chaotic, absurdist beats that sound like a glitchy video game on a caffeine bender. Tracks like *Bombulum* and *ASDFEP* revel in frenetic, chopped-up rhythms and irreverent humor, often sampling everything from Latin phrases to monkey noises (see: *Monkeys*). Their work—released under playful aliases like *Infra & Phreneticus Asdfep*—leans into DIY chaos, blending highbrow classical references with goofy, meme-worthy mischief. Part of the Hielema family’s sprawling creative universe, Phreneticus’ live shows are notorious for their anarchic energy, where distorted accordions and screaming keyboards collide with hyperactive drum machines. Don’t expect coherence—just embrace the glorious nonsense.
