@nicki-black-613520716

Nicki Black’s musical style is heavily influenced by their journey through the Goth and EBM scene of Berlin, which served as a starting point to their exploration of dark and experimental music genres such as Noise, Ambient and Industrial. 
They are now harnessing the essence of these genres and applying it to ritualistic Techno sets that follow the twists and turns of broken beats.

„When I got out there was a dusty fog rinsing down from the sky. The air felt soft, not too cold as I expected. It was the first time I saw my breath in the cold air since last winter“.
- WLLKR/Nebel in 3 Akten

WLLKR creates her own aesthetic with heavy kicks which lead from a dark melancholia to intense high speed adventures, aimed to move both, the body and the mind. Her sensuality combined to dark and industrial soundscapes unchain an emotive force that burns in the cruelty of this world and the ephemerality of existence. WLLKR is cofounder of the DORN event series and joined raveletics as a resident in 2022.

DYSPHORICA is a transgressive sound project that has industrial techno, ambient, noise, and distortion in mind. As a producer and DJ, she crafts raw, immersive, screamful and nostalgia-inducing tales that turn techno into a vessel for transformation. 

She was born out of a need to heal and within her selections and creations noise is not a disturbance but a liberation. DYSPHORICA uses her performance sets to play with the concepts of death and rebirth on stage, transcending the dancefloor and transporting audiences to alternate dimensions while exploring their intimacy.

"Being asked to contribute to HADES I felt the urge to dig for something heavy and destructive that still catches you with a continuous dark flow. An underworldly ride, controlled chaos, a blend of rhythmic noise, industrial techno and loads of distortion to comfort the inner demons…"

Introducing: PARALLEL TRANSPORT
Always having been linked by a simultaneous development in musical taste and style, PARALLEL TRANSPORT is the logical result of HYBRAL’s and FLUID’s artistic connection. 
Same but yet different, their homologous paths are relentlessly transforming, meeting each other at the intersection of a hybrid and fluid model of sound. 
PARALLEL TRANSPORT combines both Fluid’s and Hybral’s strength and signature styles: drive, levity and hypnosis on one side; severity, possessiveness and noise on the other side. Both contrastively drawing their own interpretation of hard industrial techno with elements of dark ambient, noise, atmospheric and hypnotic techno.
While playing together, each can focus on their respective power and contribute to the musical output in a more refined way. 

Booking requests: info@subverted.de
Next appearance: May 10, SUBVERTED x OLAM at OHM, Berlin

Swarm Intelligence - The Shattered Self

Swarm Intelligence - (SUB05)

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 ourselves? 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.

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.
