Dunkelsucht + Digital Energy + System Noire

For over 10 years, Dunkelsucht has stood for a distinctive mix of catchy melodies, powerful EBM passages and profound lyrics. With anthems such as "This Is Fucking Mainstream" and "Let Your Darkness Out!", as well as "The Silence You've Been Longing For", Dunkelsucht has firmly established itself in the scene. What began as a stylistic search has over the years become the identity of Dunkelsucht: contrast. Dunkelsucht does not understand contrast as a contradiction but as a reality, and sees the good in the bad as well as the bad in the good. The artistic DNA of frontman Patrick Näf, himself a person of contrasts, remains consistently noticeable and drives the project's continuous evolution without losing its roots. The current live line-up consists of founder and songwriter Patrick Näf and Tim Lindner on synthesizer. Following support shows and tours for Lacrimosa, Blutengel and other influential acts of the scene, the project made its debut at Amphi Festival 2025. Since then, headline shows and further festival appearances have been increasingly frequent. *System Noire* System Noire fuse experimental dark electro with catchy melodies, heavy guitar riffs and aggressive vocals to create their own sonic inferno. Classic industrial elements charge unrestrained toward a raw metal attitude. Lyrically, the band takes its audience into the depths of the human mind and repeatedly addresses its protest against society. SYSTEM NOIRE unfold their full potential especially live: exhilarating, full of energy and definitely not for people who are allergic to movement! *Digital ENERGY* digital ENERGY was founded in 2000 by David and Bernhard and stands for electronic music with energetic, atmospheric sound worlds. Since the early 2000s the project has continuously evolved and released several EPs as well as the debut album Interemotional. Further albums, EPs and remixes followed, including Tempest and Nostalgia, which shape the modern sound of digital ENERGY. Festival and live appearances followed, as well as regular releases through 2025. Since 2025, digital ENERGY has been continued as a project by founding member David, supported live by keyboardists Chris, Justin or Dirk.
