The musical kick-off starts at 21:00 with Thorofon. Industrial, noise, minimal, and fear pop shape the sound of the concert and create an intense counterpoint to ordinary club nights. Dense electronic structures, hard rhythmic accents, and a dark stage aesthetics create a live atmosphere that goes straight under the skin.

From around 22:15, the afterparty takes over. Dan Courtman and DJ Wurfgeschoss guide the audience through a varied selection of industrial, noise, minimal, batcave, darkwave, and dark80s. The transitions connect driving beats with melancholic soundscapes, making the night a musical journey through the facets of black club culture.
