SOTU Festival 2025

We are thrilled to announce that the 14th edition of SOTU festival will take place from April 8-12, 2025. This year's  SOTU festival topic is "Entropy."

When chaos and order meet, creativity and inspiration are unleashed, and the established norm is sweetly shattered. Admire the beauty of impermanence and embrace the dissonance. A small mess can cause a big impact!

NoiSEvembeR

NoiSEvembeR is a spontaneous celebration of "NOISE" as a cultural movement.
This year, there will be 7 concerts + 1 workshop in Amsterdam, Utrecht the Netherlands.

[ NOISEvember quote 2024]
Noise is chaos, is life, means fucking melting your numb brain,
means fighting the system, hacking the system,
glitch the shit out of it, speed that shit up till it crashes,
I relax when I can express, I get bored of 4x4, I don't need standards,
I want that shit going fucking mental, OK!?

NOISEPRET

PΞB

PΞB is a Berlin based duo by Ilia Gorovitz (drums and electronics) and obscure Berlin underground celebrity Asja Skrinik (vocals and electronics) shouting, yelling and pushing buttons. Tricky drum loops form gripping scenes. No-language Rap screamed and whispered. Harsh noises cut the soundscapes into pieces. Too simple for the gifted, too heavy for elevators.

Fall Into Dry Lungs
FALL INTO DRY LUNGS is the collaborative project of Christoph F. and Petar S. hailing from Vienna, Austria that started in early 2015. At first acting only as a harshnoise & drums duo over time they have gradually expanded their styles, never afraid to try out something new or revisit anything old! Their signature immersive live performances are characterized by both fast-paced, cut-up driven bursts of sound, as well as slow-built, immersive soundscapes. Besides their collaborative work together, Christoph F. is working with the alias "Feuersalamander auf Marzipan" and runs the vinyl only label “Dry Lungs Records” (est. 2010), whilst Petar S. is known solo as "Bruising Pattern” and the force behind the tape&cd-r label "Fall Into Void Recs" (est. 2011). By now they have performed over 50 gigs, not only in Austria but also in countries such as Israel, Belarus, Spain, Belgium, the Netherlands, Southern Italy, Slovenia, Slovakia & Germany.
