ACCU [Electronica/Funk/Disco]
Highly energetic party engine Accu was founded in 1998 by cousins Lacce and Harpov. Later the arrival of a new member Jere Garcia in the second album has brought in even more sweat and expression into the sound and live act of Accu. Today the group of three is riding on a high tide and lighting dance-floors in fire.

It has created an interesting new style of audio-visual-show-extravaganza that is easy to interact with. Its number of live musicians and go go-dancers are known to grow to “funkadelic measures” depending on the needs of the show. The band has been favored act in numerous festivals and events like Amsterdam Dance Event, Nordic Beat, Provinssi Rock, Pasifique, Koneisto, Konemetsä and Sonar (Barcelona). Accu has also performed in numerous clubs globally, for example in Cargo Club (London), Platforma (St. Petersburg) and Premier (Malaga).
