Disorder Festival

Death Disco holds about two hundred people, which means on Saturday 13 June you stand close enough to the stage to watch a synth player's hands. This is the Psiri basement where Athens has kept its darkwave alive for years, and the inaugural Disorder Festival closes its two-night run here, billed as DISORDER – Epilogue.

The festival opens the night before across town at Universe K-5 Arena, with She Past Away, Kite and Diorama. The Epilogue belongs to two acts. Frozen Plasma, the German futurepop and electro project, play Greece for the first time. Our Banshee bring their dark wave and EBM live, premiering unreleased material from their forthcoming album.

The crowd runs to black — the people who track minimal-synth reissues, who can date a drum machine by its hiss, who treat a cold-wave bassline as a reason to leave the house. They came for the records Death Disco has spun for years, now played live.

| Aspect | Details | |--------|---------| | Setting | ~200-capacity basement club in Psiri | | Vibe | Darkwave faithful, dressed in black, close quarters | | Sound | Futurepop, EBM, cold-wave synth | | Door | Live from 21:00, DJ sets after |

Live music runs from 21:00 toward midnight, and the official after-show party takes over the same floor once the sets end, so the night does not stop at the encore. At this range there is no bad sightline and nowhere to hide from the low end.

If you want an arena spectacle with a barrier between you and the band, that is the 12 June date, not this one. But if you want futurepop at sweat distance with the city's darkwave faithful, the Epilogue is the closer.

Death Disco is at Ogygou 16 in Psiri, a short walk from Monastiraki metro. General admission for 13 June is 20 EUR via more.com.

Frozen Plasma have never played Greece before, and they are doing it in a two-hundred-capacity room.
