New York duo Deli Girls, composed of vocalist Danny Orlowski and producer Tommi Kelly, writhe at the noise-infused edge of the dancefloor and the bar. Due to unforeseen circumstances, Kelly will be replaced by Dani Rev for the band's CTM 2022 appearance, specially-billed as de1i girlz.

Specialising in the moments in between dancing and thrashing, where yearning touch becomes entangled in violence, their new take on hardcore has built them a fierce reputation, not least due to their staggering energy. Addressing the lineages of electronic music, noise, and punk, with blasting arrangements on drum machine and searing synthesizer elements complemented by Orlowski's cathartic fronting, the band's raw energy and powerful lyrical content may sound harsh but promises liberation. Dealing with issues such as police surveillance, oppressive power dynamics, and social hypocrisy, few artists feel as urgent and engaged with the world right now.
