EDDIE DARK (Darkwave/Post-Punk, Athens)

is the vampirik alter ego of multi-media artist Nikolas Petsitis. Entangling the sensual charisma of old school EBM with the melancholic aggression of the greek underground synth-punk scene, EDDIE DARK explores the weirder sides of electronic body music aided by hyper-energetic unpredictable live performances.

JOCHEN K & JOHNNY W (Coldwave, Bern) 

Born from diverse musical backgrounds and formed in 2022, Jochen K & Johnny W pursue a reinterpretation of a melancholic movement that emerged in the 80s and, beyond the horizon of the mainstream, never truly left the hearts of many. With their debut single, ‘Cold & Sober’, the duo presents a mix of post-punk beats and guitars paired with electronic soundscapes, musically and lyrically capturing the unbearable starkness of life.

Warm up & Afterparty by Dark Disco

DJ Bananafishbones

Born in the occult and decadent city of poets and dockworkers (Trieste, Italy), but in Switzerland for more than a decade, DJ Bananafishbones founded the Dark Disco party label in 2019 to make Winterthur’s already vibrant music scene just a touch darker.
As Dark Disco’s resident DJ, Bananafishbones enjoys mixing Post-Punk, Indie Rock, Darkwave, and Synthwave, all the way to EBM and Minimal Synth – heavily blended with Italo Disco and ’80s.

DJ Medea de Medici

Medea de Medici has been the resident DJ at Dark Disco since 2025 and is the driving force behind Nocturnal Reverie events in Basel.
She’ll close the night with a relentless set that’ll keep the dance floor alive until late – with dark beats and driving rhythms that capture the true spirit of the underground: Darkwave, EBM, and Aggrotech.
