DROWNED GOD
On 18 October 2025, Aphotic Signals Intelligence Division (ASID) presents DROWNED GOD at Musikbrauerei, Berlin. A convergence of sound, ritual, and encoded myth, the event assembles a network of artists and collectives from Berlin, London, and beyond.
Set within the ruins of a nineteenth-century factory and wartime bunker, DROWNED GOD becomes both study and spectacle: a research on the politics of sound and the architectures of mass assembly. The “Drowned God” figure, drawn from Nordic and Slavic myth, embodies the loss and return of belief through immersion, a concept recoded here through electronic liturgy and performative excess.
The night extends from the spectral densities of Blood of Aza, Valeria Litvakov, and Sodomland to Palmistry’s fractured pop geometries and Europa’s devotional electronics. On the floor, Zlatik b2b Supchikmode, DRVGジラ b2b Pine*, TRYCE, Franarchy, Global, Comperi, and N1stY craft an escalating system of sound as conspiracy.
““The struggle is eternal; and necessary, so is music.””
Through interventions by Open Secret, Most Dismal Swamp, vvxxii, Paul Ferens, Marcus Nelson, and izecis/mhmk, space becomes an instrument of transmission. DROWNED GOD treats the club as an intelligence field, where myth mutates, belief circulates, and rhythm carries its own form of power.
