Lakeside X

Lakeside X is a synth-pop and alternative electronic band hailing from Prague, Czech Republic, known for their emotionally charged, synth-driven soundscapes. Formed in 2002, the core lineup features Janne Marvannen on vocals and songwriting, Robert Broj on keyboards, percussionist Igor Dvorsky, and guitarist Jakub Zachoval. Their music blends classic synth-pop influences like Depeche Mode and Mesh with elements of modern electronic and alternative rock, resulting in a unique mix of melancholy and energy. Over the years, they have released several albums including *Exit: NoWhere* (2004), *City of Red Lights* (2006), and their 2022 comeback album *Love Disappears*, produced by Daniel Myer. After a hiatus, they reunited in 2020 and have since gained recognition by supporting major acts such as Depeche Mode and performing at prominent festivals across Europe.

Lakeside X’s lyrics often explore themes of loneliness, inner searching, love, and the contrasts between light and darkness, paired with Janne's distinctive vocal style. Their work resonates with a global fanbase spanning Europe, the US, and even Argentina. The band’s recent releases like *Fascination* and *Love Disappears* showcase their evolution towards a darker, industrial-tinged electronic sound, while maintaining a melodic and emotional core. Their live performances, now enhanced with guitarist Jakub Zachoval, continue to build their reputation as a compelling presence on the synth-pop and alternative electronic scene.
