There comes the next wave of acid punk. Curses continues to bring a romantic and punk energy to the floor, threading the ethereal nostalgia of the 80s and 90s into the future of now. This time the Berlin-based band brings a romantic touch to the stage of the venue The Lower Third, named after the influential style of David Bowie’s legacy. Last 25 March, Curses fused 80s New Wave, the darker side of Italian disco and flashes of EBM with its ghostly vocals, in a live performance with the support of the band C.A.R, followed by the accompaniment of Novi Sad, Sheet Noise and Harry James.

Music | Interview
EMILIJA takes center stage in this NASTY digital cover story. No stranger to the shadows of the dancefloor, she’s a bold presence in the techno scene, weaving sound, style, and a raw feminine force that refuses to be boxed in. On the launch of her new party series Age of Venera, we tapped into her mindset to uncover the deeper vision behind the project: ritual, rebellion, divine rage, and the sensual chaos of becoming. This isn’t just nightlife. It’s initiation. Paired with an exclusive shoot by the NASTY creative team: Marco Giuliano behind the lens and Anca Macavei on styling, EMILIJA emerges in her raw, neo-Venus element.
