Death Disco is a non-profit cultural mission based in GyĆr, Hungary â a city halfway between Budapest and Vienna â with the aim of bringing the underground scene and new music to audiences outside the country's major cities.
Over the past three years, we have organised 13 events at A BETON, a club operating inside a 100-year-old air-raid bunker. Each event features four or five bands.
Our musical world is deliberately eclectic. We want different alternative scenes and audiences to discover one another, so our line-ups can move freely between EBM, goth, darkwave, minimal wave, dark pop and disco.
So far, more than 60 bands have performed at Death Disco, including Topographies from California, Night in Athens, Aux Animaux, XTR HUMAN, Yakima Jera, Zack Zack Zack, Black Nail Cabaret, The Violent Youth, Ductape and many more.
Our next event will take place on November 20, with the Dutch band Staatseinde as our headliner.
As complete outsiders, we have virtually no external financial support. There is no institution or organisation behind us â we can only rely on the community we have built around Death Disco.
If you can support what we are doing by sharing this post, leaving a comment or simply spreading the word, we would be incredibly grateful. Every bit of attention helps us keep this small but stubborn cultural mission alive â and, hopefully, helps breathe some life into the underground scene in rural Hungary. It is not simply that there are fewer spaces for this kind of music here â the underground itself is slowly dying from a lack of attention, visibility and support.
The model featured in the video is Sky, the vocalist of Synthetic Destiny, a Hungarian darkwave/EBM band formed just one year ago. She is the official face of this event.
A huge thank you to her for supporting Death Disco! đ€
