Tickets are available at the door for just 1.500kr.Starvation Wages is Jason Dean's new project, branching out from the Seattle punk scene into raw, synth-driven techno. Inspired by anarchist politics and protest music, Dean's sound is influenced by underground Black and Queer spaces, combining analog beats with radical energy. Their debut EP, Marketplace Fear, honed during the pandemic, is made for DIY spaces and warehouse raves. Expect powerful, politically charged tracks that push the boundaries of techno and industrial music. "Dystopia or Utopia, we’ll decide. Another world is possible!"
Svartþoka is an experimental electronic-metal trio from Reykjavík, combining guitar drones, drum machines, theremin, and evocative screams to create a haunting and powerful atmosphere. Svartþoka draws on the energy of Iceland’s underground music scene, delivering emotionally charged performances that invite audiences into their dark sonic landscapes. Expect an unforgettable experience filled with raw emotion and sonic intensity—the perfect soundtrack for those who thrive on the edge of the experimental and the unknown.
Madonna + Child is an experimental duo from Reykjavík, known for their eerie blend of electronic soundscapes and unsettling performance art. Their music merges ethereal vocals with dark, creeping beats, creating an atmosphere that is equal parts haunting and hypnotic. With an emphasis on exploring themes of identity, religion, and the macabre, the duo offers performances that are as much about visual storytelling as they are about sound. Expect a captivating experience that is both provocative and deeply immersive, pushing the boundaries of Icelandic experimental music.
Guðir hins nýja tíma (Gods of the New Era) is a Reykjavík-based band blending post-punk, shoegaze, and darkwave influences into a soundscape that feels both nostalgic and futuristic. Known for their atmospheric guitar work, brooding synths, and introspective lyrics, the band evokes a feeling of both melancholy and hope. Their live performances are immersive experiences, capturing the raw emotions of their music with a captivating stage presence. Guðir hins nýja tíma is perfect for those who seek beauty in darkness and catharsis in sound.
