Dead Sound is a collaboration between Dekmantel mainstay Marco Sterk (better known as Young Marco) and pop auteur John Moods. In the autumn of ’24, the duo released their debut record, ‘Into The Void’, on Music From Memory. Consisting of eight deeply psychedelic tracks, the project blends Moods’ dream-like, emotionally charged music with Sterk’s genre-transcending sense of melody and texture. Dead Sound explores human themes such as vulnerability, healing, and transformation, embracing light and darkness in equal measure. Much like cult cinema creator Alejandro Jodorowsky, Sterk and Moods intend to mirror the experience of being on LSD without mind-expanding substances. The resulting sonic tapestry is layered yet accessible, lush yet unpolished, foggy yet bright. We can’t wait to see it come to life—and make us feel all kinds of alive—at Dekmantel Festival ’25.
