A thank you and a farewell

Thank you to those who came out for the show last Friday. Thank you to the excellent artists who did great shows under hard circumstances and the ever supportive volunteers who saved it all.

I wasn’t able to provide the party that was promised. Most of it feels like it was beyond my control, but it doesn’t really matter. The night made me reflect upon what I do, why and how. This made me come to one final conclusion; that it’s not sustainable.
Most of all, I just can’t keep doing this alone. And I have been alone in this for a long time now, with no partners, no external funding or reliable collaborators and a very small, albeit loyal and dedicated, group of volunteers. The club has always existed solely due the local scene and community and we’ve done better than most and met a lot of support through the years. But the times have changed, so I have to move on and for the foreseeable future, I do not see myself doing these shows.

Totentanz was the vision of Paw, who has effectively not been part of the club for a while. I can’t thank him enough for making me a part of an ever growing international community. I met amazing people along the way and got the chance to work with artists whom I admire greatly. Some of those Totentanz supported early on in their career, now reach audiences beyond what I think any of us in the darkwave/synth community thought possible 13 years ago.

My hope is that Totentanz will inspire future opportunities for community engagement and niche art in Copenhagen.

Thank you for all the support through the years!

All the way from Canada, we look forward to welcoming our second international guest Alan Harman for our show at Husets Biograf May 23rd!

Alan Harman is a 25 year-old Canadian coldwave artist known for his entirely analog live recording process and dedication to a bleak, dark sound. He grew up in a small town known solely for having high levels of radiation in the soil. All through his youth he longed for meaning, unable to find it in religion, he discovered synthesizers and coldwave music. Alan now resides in Montreal, playing in clubs and bars alongside artists like Kontravoid and Xeno & Oaklander.

One month left until we return with a long awaited minimal synth show at Husets Biograf which will be transformed into a dark cellar club for this one night!
Headlining the night is Chaos International whom veteran Totentanz audience will remember from previous work with Transfigure as well as recent feature work for Lebanon Hanover

Expect classic minimal synths, hardware nerding and alienated danciness

Introducing our DJ for our next event!

Demon Phreaker

Demon Phreaker is the dj moniker of Alice from Klubb Kalabalik. Expect a mix of contemporary synth, post-punk and wave. Her dj sets are generally somewhere in the range of modern goth anthems mixed with Lithuanian italo rave at the circus in combination with a touch of west coast EBM about Swedish bus monarchs.

Totentanz: Chaos International (PL/UK) + Alan Harman (CA) + Solyara (DK)

30/03/2025

Solyara will open our night May 23rd with a set of minimalist, ethereal dark wave, reminiscent of the 4AD greats. A haunting opening fitting for the great atmosphere at Husets Biograf

Supporting Chaos International and Alan Harman, we're in for a classic Totentanz night of synthesizers, artsy darkness and DIY disco
