Fresh off releasing their latest full-length studio album Remember earlier this year, Dutch electronic duo Weval have been touring the US, bringing their style that blends elements of techno with dash of singer-songwriter structuring. Last week, they stopped by Cambridge’s Sinclair for a laid-back crowd on a Monday night. If your association with electronic music carries feelings of coldness, then Weval offer an alternative. Similar to contemporaries like RY X and Moderat, the duo – comprised of Harm Coolen and Merijn Scholte Abers combine their modular synth layering with Coolen’s smooth falsetto vocals. It’s techno, but for the introspective soul that requires intimacy and warmth. 

Opening the night for Weval was local artist Mercet, whose own EP dance contest for the smokers is one of Boston’s best electronic releases of the year so far. On this Monday night, Mercet dropped a quick DJ set to get the audience’s blood flowing before Weval took stage. Held to a tight 45 minutes, Mercet wasted little time getting down to the dancefloor bangers. Keep an eye out for future sets of his.
