DJ FOR THE NIGHT: DJ EIRFLUX
7:00PM | SKULL CULTIST
Skull Cultist is the destroying force of Steve Saunders, hailing from lovely, haunted Victoria, BC. A mix of industrial techno, hard EBM, and good old fashioned industrial dance music, Skull Cultist seeks to wholly embrace the void with pummelling synths, ritualistic rhythms, and crushing beats. Is it evil? Who can say? But it sure feels good. Come smash the old world order. Come and see.
7:45PM | GENCAB
Since reforming genCAB in 2020, David Dutton has hit the ground running. "II transMuter" was released in 2008 and considered ahead of it's time structurally, blending elements from EBM and synthpop into song arrangements suited for aggressive rock . After a long lay off they returned in 2022 with the full length LP "Thoughts Beyond Words", as well as the genre bending EP "Everything You See Is Mine". That year they also toured with Aesthetic Perfection (with whom both David and drummer Tim Van Horn played live with for years) across the US.
genCAB signed with Metropolis Records in 2023 and released the LP "Signature Flaws". The album was a meditation on one’s own demise, and introduced elements of shoegaze and post hardcore to the already densely amalgamated songs, and thus becoming something new unto itself.
Now, in 2024, genCAB have released "III I II" (Third Eye Gemini), half a modern day update to the best material on their first release, as well as new tracks inspired from re-recording those past sessions. In full control of the production, this album remains faithful to the feel of the original, although completely restructured from the ground up, and sung with more confidence and conviction from Dutton. The album remains raw and as fresh as it was when this material was first privately shared to the world more than 16 years ago.

9:45PM | BEBORN BETON
Beborn Beton was founded by vocalist Stefan Netschio, keyboardist and drummer Stefan Tillmann, and keyboardist Michael Wagner in 1989. The trio set out with the declared aim to keep Synth-Pop relevant and quickly developed a signature sound. After nine albums, a legendary single “Another World”, and songs like “24/7 Mystery” and “The Colour of Love” that continue to fill club floors across the globe, the band has built a world-wide loyal fanbase.
11:00PM | AESTHETIC PERFECTION
Aesthetic Perfection is an American-Austrian electronic musical project created by Daniel Graves in 2000.
12:15AM | SUICIDE COMMANDO
Going strong for almost 40 years now, Suicide Commando have not only been pioneers of the harder Electro genre, but still continue being innovators up to this very day. Formed in summer 1986 by Johan van Roy, the band made a name for itself through a series of self-released tapes from the late Eighties to the early Nineties. When the group released its first full-length CD „Critical Stage“ in 1994, it soon would evolve into one of the most popular and important acts of the scene. On this and all of the subsequent releases, Van Roy explores the dark side of humanity with lashing beats, haunting atmospheric electronics and an addictively psychotic and relentlessly aggressive vocal style. With eternal club hits, such as the seminal „See You In Hell“, “B.T.K.” or “Hellraiser” and an impressive roster of successful album releases, from the classics “Mindstrip”, „Axis Of Evil“, „Bind, Torture, Kill“ or „Implements Of Hell“, up to „When Evil Speaks“ and the 2017-masterpiece “Forest of the impaled” till the brandnew “Goddestruktor” (reaching the N° 9 position in the official German album charts !), Suicide Commando anno 2022 continue to be genre-defining while always evolving their very own trademark sound of synthetically-induced mayhem. They are a regular guest at the biggest scene-related festivals around the world and are renowned for their energetic stage performance. With an ever-growing rabid fan base at their back, Suicide Commando are still one of the most popular live acts of the entire scene.
