PRO8L3M is a phenomenon that cannot be ignored. Platinum records, debuting at the top of the OLIS charts, crashing servers, and selling out the largest concert venues in Poland. Since their debut in 2013, Oskar and Steez have consistently remained at the forefront of the Polish music scene.
The duo avoids following trends, creating their sound rich with references to the culture of the 80s and 90s, spanning from Polish pop to club music. This unique style allows them to reach fans of various genres, from hip-hop to electronic and alternative music. Their work mixes themes of new technology and futurism with thrilling storytelling. PRO8L3M’s creativity extends beyond music, translating their original vision into visual arts with award-winning music videos, exceptional album artwork, and immersive experiences in specially designed spaces. Each concert is a unique audiovisual show, which has become one of their trademarks.
From the start, the band's albums and mixtapes have stood out for their conceptual nature. PRO8L3M explores the dangers of technological expansion by large corporations, deconstructs visions of contemporary Poland born from the turbulent period of transformation, and portrays dynamic depictions of the nightlife in big cities. Each narrative keeps audiences on edge, like a suspenseful movie, featuring not only scenes of violence and sex but also subtle urban poetry and pop culture references.
Since their fresh debut with C30-C39, a daring gambit, PRO8L3M has been awarded multiple times for their artistic achievements. Following the release of Art Brut, which drew on the musical legacy of the communist Polish People’s Republic, the band was named Artist of the Year by Aktivist, and Ground Zero Mixtape became the first mixtape in history to win a Fryderyk – an annual award in Polish phonographic industry. Their latest full-length album, PROXL3M (2024), is a musical summary of a decade-long journey on the scene.
