Conduct Disorder

Conduct Disorder is a boundary-pushing electronic music duo formed in 2021 by Marissa Tran and Elijah Ruiz, based in Berlin. Drawing inspiration from the raw energy of punk and the intricate rhythms of breakbeat and industrial, the pair explores the cathartic potential of sound through their hardware-heavy live performances and gritty, experimental releases. With backgrounds in visual arts and underground nightlife, Conduct Disorder merge distorted synths, field recordings, and frenetic beats to create a visceral sonic narrative that addresses themes of neurodiversity, chaos, and rebellion.

Their debut EP, "Impulse Control," garnered critical acclaim for its unflinching portrayal of emotional turbulence and urban alienation, leading to appearances at international festivals and collaborations with avant-garde choreographers and visual artists. Conduct Disorder continues to evolve, channeling subversive energy and sonic innovation into each project, establishing themselves as a vital force in the contemporary electronic landscape.
