OCTOBER 19 - BERLIN
For our birthday, we fuse dark, broken techno with melancholic industrial techno and experimental hybrids, featuring some of the most forward-thinking and genre-defying artists, among them almost all of the SUBVERTED residents, ensuring a night of immersive, hard-hitting beats and sonic exploration of darkness.
Including the visual component „Fragmented Transsexual Men“ by xxxxx, which is an exploration of fragmented identities, with a particular focus on trans masculinities in abstract p0rn. Through glitch art, fragmented images, and distorted body forms, the visuals emphasize how identity is constantly shifting, fluid, and fragmented. Bodies appear broken, reconstructed, and pixelated, symbolizing the fluidity and complexity of gender expression and sexuality.

4 YEARS of pushing the boundaries of dark and atmospheric techno!

Nicki Black blends their roots in Berlin’s Goth and EBM scene with elements of Noise and Industrial to create ritualistic techno sets driven by broken beats. Laura MRLS delivers hypnotic, melancholic techno infused with eerie cinematic soundscapes. Nnamael is crafting deep, hypnotic sets using up to four decks for a seamless, progressive journey. WLLKR brings heavy kicks and dark melancholia, leading dancers through intense, high-speed industrial adventures, aimed to move both, the body and the mind. The dynamic duo PARALLEL TRANSPORT (Hybral & Fluid) merge their individual strengths into a powerful fusion of hard industrial techno, dark ambient, and noise. Finally, JASSASS channels his experiences of discrimination into hard-hitting industrial sounds, using techno as both therapy and a form of activism against injustice.

OCTOBER 19

Power means control, and control means violence. Uniforms represent a system that doesn’t protect but oppresses. Yet here, in this space, that order has no place. No rules to bind us, no violence to silence us.

DORN x SUBVERTED is not a protest, not an escape – a different reality that exists. The distorted sounds of dark and industrial techno guide us into a world free from authority, free from police violence, free from oppression.

Moving from Berlin Bunny’s wavy, EBM-inspired beats, through the melancholic depths of techno, and culminating in the visceral intensity of Swarm Intelligence’s live set, the night descends into pure industrial chaos.

A space for those who resist, who don’t conform, who exist. A space that is ours.
