Damien Dubrovnik

Damien Dubrovnik is the moniker for the Copenhagen-based experimental noise project that brings together the intriguing talents of Christian Stadsgaard and Loke Rahbek, who are also known for their roles in the Danish underground music scene, especially their work with the record label Posh Isolation. The music of Damien Dubrovnik is an evocative exploration of industrial soundscapes, blending harsh noise with a more delicate touch that involves melodic elements and textural depth. This expression through noise creates an experience that is as visceral as it is cerebral.

The duo's creative output has been marked by a keen sense of the theatrical and the confrontational, evident in their titles and the intense live performances they are known for. With releases such as "Great Many Arrows" (2017), which showcased the project’s maturation towards a more dynamically rich and varied sonic palette, they have continued to push the boundaries of their sound. This evolution followed seminal works like "Vegas Fountain" (2015), an album that incorporated diverse elements like spoken word over pulsating beats, and "Patterns of Penetration" (2014), featuring their characteristic combination of industrial noise and avant-garde textures. Earlier works like "First Burning Attraction" (2013) and "Europa Dagbog / Europa Diary" (2013) laid the ground for their innovative approach to noise and set the scene for the dissonant, yet structured, brutality that has come to define the essence of Damien Dubrovnik. The duo's journey has shown a continuous evolution, bringing their brand of confrontational yet expressive industrial music to an ever-widening audience.
