Pyo

What if Joy Division and Ekkstacy had gotten lost in the neon‑lit Hong Kong of the 90s? That’s what Pyo, the electrifying project of Brussels‑based Karel Piot, sounds like. Somewhere between Ekkstacy, Mareux, and The Haunted Youth, Pyo’s music is a blend of modern post‑punk and 80s‑style new wave. In his retro cyberpunk world, steeped in undulating dreams, Pyo reveals direct and introspective lyrics.

With over 1.3 million streams in its first year, the Brussels artist has established himself as an essential figure in the post‑punk scenes of Belgium and France. Belgian press has described a Pyo live show as follows: « Like a Duracell‑rabbit hopping onto the stage, Pyo bursts onto the stage and immediately ignites the room with his fast‑paced post‑punk sound. » After a first wave of hit singles, such as « Midnight Sunlight » and « So Tired », Pyo has toured France, Belgium, South Korea, and, for the first time, Japan.
