Worn Pop presents a Berlin show of Danish electronic duo Lust For Youth, the residents of infamous Sacred Bones Records. With special guests of Ukrainian synth-pop act Aircraft.

Lust for Youth is a phenomenal example of a musical group that has masterfully modernized synth pop for the 21st century. Originally founded as a solo project by swedish born electronic musician Hannes Norrvide, the group has since grown to include the danish-native producer and guitarist Malthe Fischer. Their early music was characterized by a unique blend of synth-pop and post-punk, often described as "dark, cold, atonal, tormented, lonely, and lower than lo-fi.” However, the breakthrough album ”International”, released in 2014, demonstrated a remarkable evolution of their sound, showcasing a vibrant and uplifting synth-pop masterpiece that harkens back to iconic styles of Pet Shop Boys and New Order.

With a seemingly effortless grace, Lust for Youth invites us to join on a dizzying journey of falling and flying all at once. Their latest work features bright and infectious pop compositions that showcase a mastery of song craft, unhindered by anxiety. Despite the evolution of their sound, Lust for Youth remains true to their roots as one of love’s most honest chroniclers, detailing the pangs of a process that is all too often sullen. Through their artful exploration of this universal theme, Lust for Youth has created a body of work that is both captivating and deeply resonant.

Aircraft is a project of Ukrainian musician Daniel Merkulov was founded back in 2011 in Kyiv. The lo-fi sound is combined with gentle vocals, sometimes reminiscent of early Depeche Mode, warm and brooding guitar motifs and the classic sound of drum machines and synthesizers of back days, echoe Cocteau Twins and A.R. Kane. From light irony of TR/ST, the vibe can switch to the depressive and gothic like This Mortal Coil, revealing the most hidden places of Aircraft's creativity, which can best be heard in the latest album Sadhu (2023).

Message to the world:
Do your best to help stop Russia now!
Do posts, go to the streets in your cities, ask your government to help Ukrainian army!
We all faced an evil enemy of democracy and peace.

We all need to stop them now together.

Сообщение к россиянам:

Если в вас осталась хотя бы капля самоуважения и адекватности, сейчас самое время вам перестать бояться и всем выйти на улицы, всем и каждому. Вы лелеяли своим многолетним молчанием, похуизмом и цинизмом ваше верховное зло, и вы все являетесь соучастниками его планов и действий. Сейчас самое время вам принять любые меры чтобы его остановить.

Фестиваль Авангардної Електронної Музики
3 грудня, 22:00 | Нижньоюрківська, 31

Остаточний лайн-ап тепер закріплено на крижаному металевому постері Блек! Фекторі 2021. Цьогоріч ми вирішили повернутися у стіни Стрічкоткацької фабрики, тому кількість квитків обмежена (1500 штук) і наразі вже більша частина розпродана. На фестивалі буде задіяно три майданчики – Метакультура, Клоузер та Мезанін. Розподіл артистів та докладний розклад ми незабаром опублікуємо.

Дванадцять концертів та лайвів і вісім діджей-сетів пролунають крізь вечір/ніч/ранок з 3 на 4 грудня. А наступної ночі, у суботу, в Клоузері відбудеться Епілог Блек! Фекторі – танцювальна вечірка, що дозволить виринути зі світу музичних явищ з префіксом "дарк-". Про неї ми теж незабаром розповімо.
