For SUBVERTED, CORE means staying true to what we stand for: using dark electronic music as a tool for empowerment and resistance. Through drone, noise, industrial and hypnotic techno, we create spaces for queer people and free artistic expression - resisting the homogenization of club culture and the pressure to become more polished, more marketable and more digestible. OUR CORE is Aesthetically dark. Politically queer. Emotionally emo. Spiritually goth. Socially awkward. Financially broke. Professionally subverted. Rooted in drone, noise, industrial and hypnotic techno. Committed to awareness, safer spaces consent and accessibility. Empowering the margins. Subverting the mainstream. For this edition, the lineup moves through different shades of the SUBVERTED core: CRANYA LIVE channels the decaying stimuli of modern society into a perpetually gloomy and disruptive sound. Raw, intense and confrontational, the live set turns darker forms of electronic music into a powerful dancefloor experience. NNAMAEL dives into dark, atmospheric and hypnotic techno - deep, shadowy and immersive, built around tension, repetition and trance. VEX NOIR crafts industrial techno as catharsis, layering crushing rhythms with ambient textures, drones and haunting melancholy. Moving between grief and defiance, their sets transform darkness into collective release. GLASSBASS moves between industrial techno, hypnotic atmospheres and the physical energy of EBM. Drawing from roots in metal, rock and related genres, she blurs stylistic boundaries into sets that feel heavy, driving and uncompromising. TRUTHSPEAKER brings eerie club music, truly sexy bass with layered textures an unmistakable anti-club sensibility - murky, seductive and bass-heavy sounds for the stranger corners of the dancefloor.
