Øyanatt: Evian Christ (UK / Warp Records)

Evian Christ (UK)
Evian Christ has spent the last decade carving out one of the most singular spaces in experimental club music. Initially finding recognition for his production contributions to Billboard-topping albums by Kanye West, Travis Scott and Danny Brown, and later as the founder of the enduringly influential TranceParty series, the UK based producer has continually pushed at the boundaries of what contemporary electronic music is, can be, and what it can feel like.
Releasing key works through Warp Records, Christ’s output explores the lingering emotional and cultural potential of trance music, not merely as escapism or euphoria, but as something capable of evoking the full weight of the sublime. That vision reached its clearest expression on Revanchist (2023), a debut album balancing celestial ambience, intense pressure and ecstatic release with remarkable emotional depth.
His live performances have become known for their overwhelming intensity: emotionally charged, physically explosive and engulfed in blinding strobes, collapsing walls of smoke and crushing low-end pressure. As a DJ and live performer, Evian Christ moves fluidly between techno, trance, deconstructed club music and experimental electronics, building moments that feel simultaneously euphoric, violent and transcendent. Fragile beauty collides with sensory overload, creating dancefloors that border on the ecstatic.

IRC (Live)
Burning lights floating over a swamp. A cryptic text on a mountain grave. A troll running frightened by a storm, glimpsed from afar in flashes of lightning.
IRC is a project by Oslo-based artists Ida Rasmussen and Chris Helberg. In their self-titled album, garbled messages from the past are transmitted through a faulty ethernet connection. Fragments of stories are read in the dark. It captures memories of growing up queer and emo in rural Norway. Logging onto chat rooms late at night, driving on empty roads, feeling kind of crazy in the woods.
The debut album is based on research into Norwegian folklore. It is shaped by trance music, hypnotic folk instruments like the psalmodikon and the transverse flute, and something visceral that is difficult to place, a sound you feel you’ve heard before but can’t remember where.

Peak Sinner (DJ Set)
Erik Spanne AKA Peak Sinner is an Oslo-based music producer whose work has mutated through a series of projects.
Through Drippin, he emerged as a key voice in the experimental club movement of the mid-2010s, blending rap, bass music and experimental electronics into a sound that earned support from artists, DJs and listeners worldwide.
As Onleash, he pushed into harder club music, fusing techno's force with trap-inflected melodies and sharp, detailed sound design, drawing support from VTSS, Juliana Huxtable and Bobby Beethoven, with work presented at clubs and festivals across Europe and Asia.
Together with Norwegian artist FAKETHIAS, Spanne co-founded MASSIVE GAIN, a record label and collaborative project that treats techno as a vessel for experimentation, fusing its aesthetics and memetics with an insurgent approach.
Peak Sinner is his latest project, reflecting a return to a more instinctive, freeform approach, raw, immediate and built around punishing percussion and surgical sound design. His debut EP as Peak Sinner, released via MASSIVE GAIN, was developed in collaboration with visual artist Ilja Karilampi, whose collaged graphics draw on underground and subcultural references, with each track receiving its own unique cover.
