Music acts🔗

Here is a short list and intro to all of our music acts!

2nd lounge DJ - faRk🔗

faRk used to record music from Amiga games on a cassette player as a kid and quickly discovered Protracker and eventually Fasttracker 2 on PC - all which inspired his style of music.
He released an album a few years back as a result - and also made an animated short movie, ALSO inspired by said music and demoscene, Amiga memories, Pikselhjerte.
These days, he dabbles in modern Daws and the trusty M8 Tracker from Dirtywave for composing sweet chiptunes.
At Black Valley, he will DJ a varied blend of both old melodic demoscene classics mixed with modern tunes and remixes of old games, filling our lounge area with sweet nostalgia.

lug00ber🔗

We were told in no uncertain terms that lug00ber was playing, as is tradition. Mildly intimidated, we could do nothing but bow our heads and comply. All hail lug00ber, breaker of beats.

Henning & Hans spiller opp til dans!🔗

We repeatedly told Henning and Hans, "det holder!" but they just won't listen. 🙉
So, by unpopular demand – they're back! But - on Friday night, they won't be in the back, but rather up front!
Expect silly kicks, stupid samples, pointless breaks, and preposterous mixing. If you're not convinced yet, listen to their 2023 set and you'll understand what we mean – DET HOLDER!

TEO🔗

Emerging from the depths of the pt1210 underground, Teo is about to drop a wicked 4-channel modules-only set, powered by two Commodore Amigas.
This isn’t your everyday techno gig - it’s a deep dive into Protracker Magic with the unmistakable Paula Chip Sound.

Paula🔗

Amiga music like you've never heard it before.

Join Paula, a powerhouse trio straight from the Amiga Demoscene, for a night of nostalgia-fueled sound! Featuring Slumgud, Greippi and Teddy Slacks, this unique band brings iconic Amiga game and cracktro/demo music to life with electrifying live covers.

Expect reimagined tracks from classic titles and legendary riffs you thought you'd only ever hear through tinny TV speakers, now exploding through a full live rig. Whether you're an old-school scener, a retro gamer, or just curious what 16-bit dreams sound like in 2025, this show is for you.

Special debut: Be the first to hear our brand-new single, Amiga Lives! – A tribute to the machine that shaped a generation of musicians and coders alike. And if the stars (and budget) align, we’ll have a limited edition physical release of the single available for purchase at the venue!

This isn’t just a gig – it’s our love letter to the Amiga.

Lounge DJ - Phobium🔗

Crawling straight outta the crypt and into your eardrums... Phobium rises once again in the Black Valley Lounge! Between demos and dead air, he’ll be spinning from chillaxing to bone-chilling beats to keep your spirit wandering. Lurking in the lounge all weekend - when there’s no program, there’s Phobium!
