Love and Psychosis / Guillotine
Guillotine steps forward as one of New York’s most arresting new voices, an artist shaped by the intensity of queer nightlife, the emotional voltage of personal rupture, and a background spent curating QPOC and LGBTQ+ spaces where liberation becomes ritual. Their debut EP “You’re Going To Be Ok, Just Not Tonight” turns that lived experience into a devotional landscape, merging spiritual imagery with a raw emotional autobiography.
In our conversation, Guillotine distills the essence of the project: love as devotion, heartbreak as ritual, and desire as a force that destroys and remakes.

For three days, Funkhaus was no longer Berlin, no longer a building: it became a threshold. You didn’t enter to “see a festival”, you entered to surrender to a rite. From the very first moment I felt that sound was not accompaniment but invisible architecture: living matter shaping body and perception, carving and building, unravelling and reconnecting.
