A special club night for the head as well as the feet. In a commission from Ultima and the Trekanten club venue, Norway’s Fakethias (aka Mathias Humlen) will play with visuals by Felix Scheele. Following a Spellemann prize nomination for his 2023 album Core Echo, Fakethias has become increasingly interested in combining digital noise with live instruments, and enhancing the specific qualities of the space where he is performing, such as the modernistic concrete architecture of the Trekanten-building.

The night also includes a set by Iranian musician Pouya Pour-Amin, making his Norwegian debut. Pour-Amin is a composer, multi-instrumentalist and actor from Tehran, Iran. His harrowing album of abrasive electronic meditations, Prison Episodes, from 2019, explored the experiences of a political prisoner from incarceration to breaking point. The influence of drama and storytelling is evident in his solo album, "Prison Episodes," where his passion for narrative comes to life. He has been residing in Hvitsten since June 2024 as part of the Safemuse Artist residency.
