LIVE ACTS
PEMOGRANETA Is a performative music project by Torleif Bay (he / him). It is the continuous act of dying and resurrecting. It is the constant process of becoming. Love, hate, lust, loss, nightmares and dreams – coinciding.
SUPERSLUT is live first time since never. slut’s been vj’ing for other cool people and will now VJ for himself while serving you 4 dark n cute self produced tracks + some unfinished work. strobe warning ^^
MAGIC DYKE is a drag king persona created by Alphie Hubbard (they /them) that focuses on masculinity as an embodied location of themes as bodily autonomy, consent and the construction of identity. He perverts and undermines examples of toxic masculinity to reconfigure them, creating a space to reimagine and expand our understandings of masculinity.
DJs
The up and coming DJ BLUE started her dj journey in 2021, always had a passion for music, dj blue will be playing a fun and playful mixture of music from different genres inspired by her diverse background. Alternative R&B, French Rap, Arabic Pop and a lot more.
ALSKUA is a seabird circling around the meeting points of the Atlantic and the North Sea. Loving both extremities of groovy basses and screeching highs, they’re here to serve you each track as both the sushi and the palette-cleansing pieces of ginger for the next. Hopping between genres, feelings, tempo is to be expected as it all forms a part of the narrative.
