NOIR CLUB NIGHT #5: MORWAN / DENEVER / VIKOWSKI

Morwan, originally formed in 2019 in Kyiv, Ukraine by Alex Ashtaui and now based in Berlin, is a post-punk act known for its dynamic and dark sound, often incorporating elements of folk and ethno music. Their music is characterized by formidable drumming, rhythmic bass, deep atmospheric synthesizers, cyclic guitar parts, and piercing folk instruments, all woven together to create a chaotic primitive dance atmosphere.

Morwan has released three full-length albums on labels such as Feel It Records, Detriti Records, Reclusion Records, and Death Shadow, and has performed multiple festivals and concerts across Europe since 2022. They are currently continuing their collaboration with Feel It Records, based in Cincinnati, USA.

DENEVÉR is a duo out of Budapest harnessing the power of electronics to create complex, raw post-punk that occasionally toes the line of darkwave EDM. After consistently releasing material for the past few years, DENEVÉR decided to release the emotive and layered full-length Economía Doméstica. This eleven-song album uses everything from sampled audio, distorted synthesizers, overdriven drum machines, and noisy instrumentation to create an atmosphere that is on one hand reminiscent of ’80s-era new wave, and on the other is approaching post-hardcore. Emotionally heavy, Economía Doméstica is anguished, urgent, and melancholic while exploring a complex and shifting sonic space. The vocals are often delivered in unison by the duo which provides a sort of power behind the lyrics. Definitely check this out when you’re in the mood for something a little different.

VIKOWSKI
Minimal and often wrapped by a gloomy and nostalgic aura, Vikowski blends new wave and post punk with clear reference to bands like Joy Division and The Cure.

Afterwards: WAVE & POSTPUNK DJ LINE w/ ADHS LENE (Sniffing Glue) + ANAIS (Bloodbeat Club)
