Drugstore Beograd | Belgrade, SR

For the first time in Serbia! With japanoise icon Merzbow and italian post-industrial master Bad Sector sharing the same stage, Drugstore Belgrade is about to become ground zero for a sonic experiment that could just as plausibly be staged inside a particle accelerator. A key event for anyone hunting for experiences that push the boundaries of human hearing and physical sensation.

MERZBOW Masami Akita is the defining figure of noise active since 1979. His vegan straight-edge «shogunate of static» is a dedicated embodiment of creative chaos — uncompromising and improbably expansive. Even if you don’t know his works you have almost certainly felt his gravitational pull across experimental music for decades. With a catalogue that turns bucket lists into Post-it notes (500+ releases and counting), Masami san is less a conventional artist than an intergalactic-scale object venting unconditional power. Fresh drops like 3-hour Akashaplexia album with John Wiese prove that his reactor never runs out of fuel. Live, Merzbow is a physical force : broadband pressure, feedback, and low-frequency mass — an ASMR for those who find peace in a jet engine (or never suspected they could). Standing in front of his amplifiers is the closest you’ll get to staring into the sun without going blind.
BAD SECTOR Massimo Magrini is the perfect counterweight — precise, calculated, and austerely rational. He designs and performs with custom gesture-controlled interfaces, treating sound as something to be steered and sculpted rather than merely played. His approach is explicitly technical — with a degree in Computer Science and a career as a researcher at the Italian National Research Council, Magrini draws on the language of radio artifacts, decaying transmissions, machine pulses and data-like rhythms. In his live works the vastness of outer space becomes a dark ambient embrace — far from narrow genre labels, and closer to a sense of the cosmos as an ordered, quietly beautiful system.
