Dicepeople is a dark electro band from London consisting of Zmora (vocals) and Matt (music). Originally founded by Matt, with their first studio release in 2009, the band has been going strong since their first official live performances in 2013. Dicepeople’s music consists of intricate, immersive, modern electronic productions, uniquely and seamlessly blending a broad range of genres from industrial and EBM, through darkwave and post-punk, to synth-pop and electronica.
Dicepeople have an extensive back catalogue with great reviews and feedback, and they are known for their intense, atmospheric live performances which leave audiences mesmerised and spellbound.
Dicepeople were chosen by the fashion designer John Lawrence Sullivan to play at their 2020 men’s fashion show as part of London Fashion Week in 2019. They were put forward for the 2014 Glastonbury Emerging Talent Competition shortlist by judge and music journalist Mark Muldoon, who said “I’m nominating this dark electro-gothy outfit mainly for their full SoundCloud collection … there’s a remarkably high standard being maintained here”. Dicepeople have supported acclaimed artists such as Android Lust and Zanias at various venues including Electrowerkz and Islington Academy, as well as being on the bill for several festivals and a range of alternative nightclubs such as AntiChrist and Reptile.

"Dancing and applause throughout their set ... imposing vocals and emotive performances ... their resulting live shows are always a dramatic experience."
"Dicepeople's sound has evolved into something glorious, and the response at the end of their set, from a very up-for-it crowd, was rapturous, with chants for 'one more song'."
"The group seems to bring out the very essence of the darker side of alternative/electronic culture ... The music is excellent, and Zmora brings another level to the performance of the show."
"The combination of the strong songwriting, Zmora’s stage performance, and the attention to visuals results in an immersive and intense live experience … It’s because they face our collective dark side face on, and give it as good as it gets, that contributes to making them such a compelling live act."
"A shadowy, intriguing presence … a brooding darkness … the songs were great."
"The whole performance was brooding, intense, captivating and most definitely entertaining."
"A heavy yet engaging live performance … a perfect way to close out another successful electronic festival."
"The tracks on this EP come across like timely wasteland anthems. If you like your electronic music to draw from sleazy synth workouts, then Destroyed will certainly deliver."
"One of those immersive releases that really sucks you in and makes you hungry for more ... Make sure you don’t miss this one."
"An album which, with moments of real magnificence, captivates and excites from beginning to end."
"An artist like Dicepeople comes along blending electro, industrial, new wave, and 80s avant-garde, and suddenly we have a record that is synth-based and sounds as fresh as a daisy ... a cut above the majority."
"Jam packed with multilayered dark electro magic ... flawless, razor-sharp production ... moving, astute dark electro that is also highly accessible and varied ... A rich musical journey that makes for immersive listening."
"A fantastic blend of classic electronic, EBM, and industrial ... It Gets Darker simply shines as a stunning example of what innovative electronic music should be."
