Welcome at the club, where hearts are bleeding, and hearts are burning! Look forward to a concert evening of experimental, electronic music, when Nova Varnrable and Nadah El Shazly fill the concert hall with a spectrum of sounds across genres, traditions and forms.

Nadah El Shazly

The Egyptian singer and composer Nadah El Shazly is one of the leading figures on Cairo’s experimental scene. She fuses the roots of traditional Arabic music with modern jazz, electronics, and experimental rock. And with that blend of genres, along with her enchanting vocals and avant-garde arrangements, she has won fans across the globe. Nadah El Shazly started out as a part of Egypt’s punk scene before turning her focus to electronic music. In 2017, she broke through with the lavish album ‘Ahwar’, which received rave reviews and landed at number 12 on The Wire’s list of the year’s best albums. This June, she released its long-awaited follow-up, ‘Laini Tani’.

‘Laini Tani’, which has also been warmly received by critics, conveys a sense of balmy nights stretching on into the morning. The album carries a sensual yet elusive atmosphere. On Laini Tani, Nadah El Shazly weaves Egyptian improvisation, vocal manipulation, and electronic beats into an artistic expression that embraces vulnerability while powerfully underlining the wondrous force of music. Nadah El Shazly has previously performed at ALICE in 2019 and 2022, and this year she also appeared at Roskilde Festival. She made the walls of the Gloria-stage tremble and silenced all chatter in the corners. In other words, she had the audience in the palm of her hand! Nadah El Shazly has a unique ability to combine the intensity of a club-like concert experience with an immense sense of intimacy – and that is why we are so excited to once again present this groundbreaking electronic musician on our stage!

Nova Varnrable

Nova Varnrable tells stories through glitches. With base in Copenhagen, the Ethiopian/Norwegian artist and music producer is known internationally for her experimental, electronic music. Her songs roam through a spectrum of sounds, unbound by genre, constructing scenarios and exploring the possibilities of composition. Percussion, samples, live instruments, and vocals are woven into a dynamic landscape of electronic production. At the core of Nova Varnrable’s practice is a fluid approach to form and output, where sketches, improvisations, and completed works merge into a seductive collage of sound. In her music, Nova Varnrable embraces inbetweenness and otherness. It’s an invitation into a world that redefines what’s already existing. 

Nova Varnrable’s fluid approach extends across her multidisciplinary work, spanning film, art, fashion, and live performance. Nova has released music on labels including 5 Gate Temple (UK) and D.O.T Audioarts (US). Recent collaborations include projects with Dean Blunt and Authentically Plastic , as well as contributions to fashion and film projects, and sound compositions for documentaries and art exhibitions. Nova Varnrable has played at Roskilde Festival, Øhavet Festival, among others – and recently at Café OTO in London. We can’t wait to welcome the unpredictable electronic artist to our stage!
