Weval

Known for their immersive live shows, Weval have played major festivals across Europe and the US, including Primavera, Pukkelpop, Lightning in a Bottle, Lowlands, DGTL Amsterdam, and sold out iconic venues like Paradiso and the Royal Concertgebouw in their hometown. Their music has been featured in multiple acclaimed TV series including Good Girls, Industry, and I May Destroy You, and championed by BBC Radio 1, KCRW, KEXP, and SiriusXMU. Press support includes Pitchfork, The Line of Best Fit, DJ Mag, Billboard, and Crack Magazine. Refusing to be pinned to a single genre, Weval continue to evolve, balancing dancefloor instincts with introspection, and always following the emotional thread. CHOROPHOBIA is not a traditional dance record—it’s closer to a house party soundtrack than a club set. Inspired by a low-res iPhone photo of a friend DJing with one hand and snacking with the other, the duo found a visual metaphor for their new direction: playful, chaotic, and unpolished in the best way. With a tighter writing schedule and a looser approach to production, the record came together fast, resulting in bold choices, higher BPMs, and genre-melting moments that span acid, funk, bass, and psych-pop. What emerged is a liberating, mixtape-like album that challenges the idea of what “dance” even means. CHOROPHOBIA invites listeners to embrace discomfort, let go of overthinking, and find joy in movement, awkward or otherwise.
