About PLATRONiC

PLATRONiC is a Finnish-German futurepop/synthpop duo founded in 2020 by Finnish composer/producer Some-E (Savonlinna, Finland) and German singer-songwriter/co-producer Kay Burden (Frankfurt am Main, Germany). The duo connected via Instagram discussions in 2019 and formed on EBM Day, February 24, 2020.

Their early catalogue starts with “Dreams” (2020), followed by “Control” (2021) and “Maybe Someday?” (2021), plus “Maybe Someday? (Syntha Clause Remix)” (December 12, 2021). They continued with “Dreams (Nature of Wires remix)” (2022) and the single “Now!” (May 22, 2022).

In 2023, PLATRONiC issued the EP “The Healing” (January 6, 2023), a release tied to lockdown-era constraints and later events.

Later in 2023, the duo released a Depeche Mode cover single, “The Things You Said“. They followed with the single “Memories” (September 29, 2023) equally released via Town and Towers Records. On year later, PLATRONiC released “Calling (Mitten in der Nacht)” (February 24, 2024) and “Pride 2024” (June 7, 2024). They closed 2024 with “Winter Stores”. a track based on a poem by Charlotte Brontë.

In 2025, PLATRONiC announced “How To Ride The Wave?” and now contributed to a Depeche Mode tribute compilation.

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.
