press release:

Prepare to immerse yourself in a world of sonic rebellion as Bogolepov takes the stage at Kantine am Berghain, Berlin’s legendary temple of techno, on September 4th. Armed with a fierce determination to challenge capitalist norms and celebrate queer identity, Bogolepov promises to deliver a performance unlike anything seen before within the club’s hallowed walls.

Drawing upon their transgressive heritage and years spent navigating underground music scenes across Europe, Bogolepov’s sound is a fusion of pulsating rhythms, haunting melodies, and thought-provoking lyrics. Their music transcends borders, bridging the gap between cultures and sparking conversations about the power of art in times of political upheaval.

As an artist who values community over commercialism, Bogolepov has curated a lineup of local musicians to join them on stage, ensuring that the spirit of Berlin’s vibrant music scene remains at the forefront of the event. Each performer and collaborator brings their own unique perspective to the night’s festivities, creating a tapestry of sound that reflects the diversity of the city itself.

This show is also a bit of an experiment: Gene has decided to give the audience an opportunity to support local musicians. Each guest can buy a regular ticket and decide wether they want to pay more. All money gathered this way will be used to pay for the work of independent artists, participating in the event.

Being a co-founder of mental health gatherings for artists & addicts, Gene and the team encourage sober experiences at their shows, although of course it’s a choice of every guest.

LoboLoto

Synth Pop, Dark, Triphop, Transcendental

• Alice Lobo (Vocals, Synthesizers, Guitars, Keyboard)
• Vince Gagliardi (Drums, Percussion
  
  

Emerging from the shadows of an industrial urban landscape, LoboLoto is a hauntingly hypnotic band that seamlessly blends the pulsating rhythms of synth pop with the brooding

intensity of dark wave, all while weaving in elements of transcendental mysticism. Formed in 2015 as a solo project of Alice Lobo, LoboLoto has just welcomed Vince Gagliardi to make the sounds even more defined and at the culmination of an experience on the edge of esotericism.

Alice Lobo, the ethereal voice and primary lyricist of the group, channels the mysteries of the cosmos and the depths of human emotion through her haunting vocals bringing a unique blend of elegance and enigma to the band’s sound.

Vince Gagliardi, also known for his projects Vū and The Nent, is a multi-instrumentalist and drummer who adds layers of rich melodies and dark, driving rhythms. His background in

electronic music, combined with his penchant for complex arrangements, creates a sonic depth that is both immersive and expansive.

LoboLoto’s music explores themes of existential longing, cosmic transcendence, and the eternal dance between light and darkness. Their last album, “Metamorphosis” released in

January 2024, isa critical and commercial success, praised for its innovative fusion of genres and its deeply emotive resonance. Tracks like “Come Back To Life” and “Heaven” became anthems for those seeking solace in the night.

Known for their visually stunning live performances, LoboLoto combines immersive light shows (when possible) with captivating stage presence, creating an otherworldly experience

that transports audiences to a realm where time and space blur, and only the music remains. LoboLoto invites listeners to join them on a journey through the shadows, towards the light of self-discovery and cosmic connection.

NANSEA

Nansea (ˈnænsi) is the musical moniker of Berlin-based musician Marek Polgesek. With their music, they create a queer indie/chamber pop sound that goes beyond the traditional singer-songwriter style, while paying tribute to gender nonconforming artists that inspire them. Their sound has been described as a ‘more whimsical Rufus Wainwright’ and reminiscent of Thom Yorke and Sufjan Stevens.
