BIO
Denis Kandle, a musician hailing from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, embarked on his musical journey joining his first band in 1993. Over the years, Denis's passion for music led him to various ventures, including producing Projeto Bandas, a notable weekly event that showcased bands from Rio and other states, and opening for the renowned New Yorker band Shelter with his band N.O.P.E in 1998 in Rio.
In 2001, Denis had the honor of deejaying at the Eletro Tent of Rock In Rio III Festival, sharing the stage with iconic acts such as Ferry Corsten. He further solidified his presence in the music scene by becoming the resident DJ of Electrolounge at Bunker 94 in Rio from 2005 to 2006.
Driven by his passion for electronic music, Denis embarked on a new musical direction, forming two personal projects, Colortronic and Aliencore. However, it was in 2020 that, now living in Tuscany, Italy, he truly came into his own under the moniker DKANDLE.
DKANDLE, originally a solo project, has evolved into a dynamic duo with the addition of bassist Gene Teysse (The Medicines / The Pool Of Tears). Together, Denis and Gene craft a sound that is both expansive and intimate, drawing on a rich mix of influences from shoegaze, dreampop and post-punk. Their music is marked by its haunting melodies, layered instrumentation, and evocative lyricism.
The forthcoming EP Under The Effect is the latest milestone in DKANDLE’s artistic journey, following the release of the albums Mondano (2022) and More Drag Queens Less Drama Queens (2023). This new body of work is set to further solidify DKANDLE's position as sonic innovators in the alternative music scene.

"DKANDLE weaves swirling multi-colored vibrant unearthly soundscapes, blending fuzzy and reverberating Shoegaze textures, mesmerizing Dream Pop meditations, sludgy Grungey tones and moody Post-punk strains, heightened with soul-stirring lyricism and pensive emotive vocalizations.
Wilson Farina, HEATWAVE! (Brazil)
"I have the impression that many people today try to record albums calling themselves shoegaze or dreampop. But few have the artistry and intensity that DKANDLE demonstrates in their work. It is clear their genuine involvement with the style, and this guarantees a more genuine and sincere artistic expression.
André Costa, Rádio Cult FM (Brazil)
“The band has a dirty sound, in a good way, which is lacking in many rock bands today. Their sound is heavy, but also brings interesting psychedelic passages and stands out for that.
