Tokio Lovers - Disco Forever

The Tokio Lovers are Chicago's newest disco export – mysterious, masculine, and extremely danceable. Since the beginning of 2025, the trio has been filling sold-out clubs like the Velvet Garden and Loop Light week after week with their pulsating blend of funk, retro electro, and glittering 70s flair. Always in their signature look: white suits, black sunglasses, mustaches – as if Kraftwerk had gotten stuck on a Studio 54 trip. Behind the desks: Marco Vento – the stoic synth wizard, former jazz keyboardist in a big band. Luis "Lui" Romano – a groove tinkerer with a penchant for old drum machines and cheap Italo-pop. And Darren Bloom, the left-handed guitarist with the pink Flying V – quiet, charming, eccentric. Their debut album, "Disco Dot" (2025), officially consists of just a pink dot and 32 minutes of dance frenzy. No name, no label, no Spotify – just vinyl and cassettes, sold directly from the tour bus. The hype? Real. The faces? Unclear. The shows? Neon, fog, nostalgia. Anyone who has seen them live swears: This isn't a band – it's a movement.
