PREMIERE: JaydeeQ – The Flak [Video]

A desperate race through a dystopian scenario, caught between war and hallucination. That's the theme at the heart of "The Flak", the new single by JaydeeQ, available on digital platforms from May 5th and in radio rotation from Friday May 8th. The video, directed by Sergio Pozzi and shot in a single night at the "La Bucaniera" studios in Melle (CN), is available exclusively on OndaRock's homepage. The aesthetic is raw and layered: amid cathode-ray screens, visual glitches and dystopian suggestions, the images translate the track's tension, evoking industrial and post-punk imagery. JaydeeQ is an electronic project built on a radical approach: no DJ sets, only performances constructed entirely from live-played instruments. The sound moves between new rave, electro punk and EBM, with industrial and kraut leanings, maintaining a strong tension between physical impact and sonic exploration. The project took shape between Cime Sonore and the spaces of La Bucaniera, where their debut album (out June 5th, 2026 on Overdub Recordings) was also born, developed between studio work and live performance. It's a path that looks as much toward the club as toward a more experimental, performative imagination. "The Flak" is a synth pop track with dubstep contaminations, frantic and anxiety-inducing, which ultimately reveals itself as a bad dream. The fusion of breakbeat, harsh synthesizers, punk attitude and screamed vocals brings it close to the most extreme strands of electronic music, between digital hardcore, punk step and aggrotech shades. The lyrics, which open with "Run, run, run", immediately introduce a sense of urgency: the song thrives on speed and tension. The voice wedges itself between glitches and sonic explosions, becoming a percussive element in its own right. The band explains: "The Flak is the album's track that winks hardest at the dancefloor. We chose 90s synth pop sounds while also trying to recreate the very first synth sounds of the 60s and 70s, from electronic pioneers like Jean Jacques Perrey, Bruce Haack, Dick Hyman. When we wrote the lyrics we drew inspiration from the 1943 Disney cartoon Der Fuehrer's Face, released in the middle of World War II, the most famous example of an anti-Nazi propaganda cartoon. This trivia also explains the song's strange title: Flak is short for Flugabwehrkanone, which was the Third Reich's main and most feared anti-aircraft gun. The song's protagonist has to run to destroy the cannon: it's his desperate race to complete the sabotage mission that gives the whole track its relentless rhythm". The trio JaydeeQ was formed in 2025 from the meeting of Salvatore Marano (synths and keys), Jacopo Trivero (synths and vocals) and Diego Lacaille (drum pads). It's a project that also looks toward a multidisciplinary path: soundtracks, collaborations with theatre, dance and visual arts. Their live activity follows the same direction, favouring a select few dates conceived as immersive experiences across clubs, festivals and artistic contexts.
