About Neon Electronics
Neon Electronics is the project of Dirk Da Davo, known from The Neon Judgement. The electronic dance project mixes electro-wave, EBM, post-punk and related electronic music.
The project’s first release was the self-titled album “Neon Electronics” in 1999 and “U B There”. Next were the albums “Swingers Delight”, followed by “Monkey Ever After” in 2007. The 2013 compilation “99TO12COMP” pulled material from the 1999 debut CD up until 2012’s “Keylogger” CD.
“System Rivièra” followed in 2003 on CD and in 2009 as a digital edition, alongside “Better Way” with The Hacker. Later came “Keylogger”, the “Toyboy” EP in 2013, and the album “ne” in 2015.
While Neon Electronics began as a solo project, Glenn Keteleer had already been involved for years, and Pieter-Jan Theunis joined around 2014/15. By the time of “Apollo”, the core lineup consisted of Dirk Da Davo, Glenn Keteleer and Pieter-Jan Theunis.
Oráculo had already worked with the project on the “Mondriaan” vinyl in late 2018, ahead of “Apollo” in April 2019. The project issued a new version of “Factory Walk” in December 2024, followed by “Nothing For Nothing” in July 2025 and “Justification Unknown” in February 2026. “Liberation” now pulls that recent run together on vinyl.
Chief editor of Side-Line – which basically means I spend my days wading through a relentless flood of press releases from labels, artists, DJs, and zealous correspondents. My job? Strip out the promo nonsense, verify what’s actually real, and decide which stories make the cut and which get tossed into the digital void. Outside the news filter bubble, I’m all in for quality sushi and helping raise funds for Ukraine’s ongoing fight against the modern-day axis of evil.
Since you’re here …
… we have a small favour to ask. More people are reading Side-Line Magazine than ever but advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations, we haven’t put up a paywall – we want to keep our journalism as open as we can - and we refuse to add annoying advertising. So you can see why we need to ask for your help.
Side-Line’s independent journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we want to push the artists we like and who are equally fighting to survive.
If everyone who reads our reporting, who likes it, helps fund it, our future would be much more secure. For as little as 5 US$, you can support Side-Line Magazine – and it only takes a minute. Thank you.
