A recording of my live set for Subverted at ://about blank.

Live @ Subverted

Kimisma is an artist based in Athens, Greece which emphasize Industrial, Ebm, Darkwave, Noise and Experimental sounds. It encapsulates the struggles and inner turmoil of the human experience through its music. With dark, haunting atmospheres and harsh, distorted vocals and screams that seem to come from the depths of its soul, it creates an atmosphere that is both eerie and alluring. Its music serves as a vessel for it to confront its own demons, as well as a way for others to feel understood and validated in their own struggles. Through its art, it brings to light the darker aspects of life that are often overlooked or pushed aside.

Kimisma - Face Your Fears

LA veteran techno producer, AXKAN, lands his new full-length album on SONIC GROOVE. Inspired by a wave of torturous dreams during the pandemic, AXKAN dedicated his isolation time to curate the sound of this 12-track LP, NIGHTMARES.

Dropping his signature soundtrack of angst fueled broken beat industrialized techno, AXKAN further displays his sophisticated sound architecture by delving into darker melancholic, experimental and rhythmic noise territories. Add three collaboration pieces featuring long-time friends ORPHX, UVB and AYARCANA and we have a well rounded album of monstrous proportions.

A2. AXKAN - A Physician's Death

Fierce and forlorn, Swarm Intelligence’s “The Shattered Self” delves into the complexities of human existence in an era dominated by technological advancements. In this thought-provoking exploration, the artist challenges listeners to confront the consequences of a near future where physical and mental augmentation are commonplace. In a world where limbs can be upgraded, where consciousness can be uploaded, where memories can be digitally archived and shared on social media, where our AI clones can liberate us from menial tasks… What remains of our selves? Who is our self?

Swarm Intelligence draws influences from black metal, industrial-tinged dub and post rock, splicing these with his distinctive take on techno to devastating effect. "Dejected," the inaugural track, unleashes grinding walls of feedback against a relentless broken beat, its foreboding atmosphere heightened by a menacing low growl of distorted bass that permeates the unease. It's a disquieting overture that sets the stage for the tumultuous journey ahead.

The second track, “Eros” envelops the listener in a visceral soundscape, where haunting atmospheres intertwine with grinding feedback and pounding percussion. Initially tense, the track evolves into an unexpected and almost euphoric climax, adding an unforeseen emotional depth to the sonic narrative. Yet, beneath the surface, an undercurrent of tension remains—an ever-present reminder of the fragility of our self.

On the flip side, "Inciter" channels inner fury through a guttural chant punctuating a Birmingham-styled broken beat, marching forth with unyielding force.

Finally, "Portal" offers a moment of quiet introspection, as haunting pads echo a mournful refrain while micro recordings of whirring machinery are assembled into the percussion section. It serves as a poignant curtain-closer.

Through "The Shattered Self," Swarm Intelligence challenges listeners to reconsider their perceptions of identity, consciousness, and agency in an age where the machine and the human converge. It's a haunting and profound journey—one that invites introspection and contemplation long after the final reverb tails fade into silence.

Step into the abyss with Trypophobia, the twelfth compilation hauntingly conjured by DARKED. This is not merely an album; it is a descent into darkness where sonic nightmares intertwine with the grotesque. Five sinister tracks await, each a twisted reflection of the uncanny, urging you to confront your deepest fears and phobias.

NETHEREALM - The curtain rises with a gruesome echo, pulling you into a cavern of dread where shadows conspire and whispers claw at your sanity. Each heartbeat is a sinister pulse from the void, beckoning you closer.

Trypophobia dares you to embrace the weird, pushing you to the brink of the bizarre. This is a visceral plunge into the uncanny. Will you rise or drown in the darkness?

We curate queer sex-positive parties with equally queer line-ups, featuring mostly non-binary and trans DJs. Our aim is to platform artists with gender identities that are under-represented in the music industry, showing that it is possible to have more inclusive and diverse booking practices without a decrease in musical quality, but in fact with an increase by bringing new and previously unheard perspectives to the dance floor.

Discovering and nurturing new talent is at the very essence of SUBVERTED. We stand in resistance to the homogenisation and sanitisation to which the techno industry has been subjected in recent years via formulaic, easily-digested productions and repetitive line-ups, and intend to continue opening the industry's gates for a new generation of artists that are pushing their own unique and fresh take on dark industrial techno.
