Private Agenda

Private Agenda

Private Agenda are a synth-pop duo from High Wycombe, UK and currently based in London and Berlin. Drawing upon new wave, ambient and the eclectic music and fashion culture that defined the spirit of the ‘Balearic Beat’, their productions encompass a forward-thinking production and style sensibility which balances a love of the electronic music underground and the striking immediacy of contemporary pop music. 

In recent years they’ve released music on iconic indie labels including, International Feel (DJ Harvey, Todd Terje), Wall of Sound (Grace Jones, Röyksopp) and Live at Robert Johnson (Fort Romeau, Roman Flügel) and they have a debut album forthcoming in Summer 2019 with Lo Recordings (Aphex Twin, Grimes). 

Echoing their expansive studio sound, the band pair’s live performances have ranged from an energetic two-piece stage show which they’ve toured around Europe with talented newcomers Parcels (Kitsune) and Park Hotel (Fierce Panda) to live PA and DJ performances which have seen the duo take command of the decks at renown clubs, such as Robert Johnson in Offenbach, Chalet in Berlin and Oslo Hackney in London.
