INTONAL 2026 Artist Presentation:
VULGÄR™
VULGÄR™ traces a path from the free party circuits of the 2010s, where Markus first moved under the name @SmutsigaSoedern. The work continues from a quieter base near Höör, shaped by a DIY/DIT approach where objects are made slowly and priced in relation to the buyer’s means. Function and touch remain central.
For INTONAL, a new piece is placed just outside the entrance. “Karin&Olof” draws on the physical memory of dance floors—heat, density, the steady rhythm of bodies in motion. These traces settle into a structure of metal pipes, truss couplers, and woven nylon bands.
The sofa is open and direct. It holds weight without resistance, inviting rest, waiting, brief exchanges. Over time, it gathers presence through use.
Available throughout the festival, it asks little. Sit, pause, return.

One week left!

We’re equal parts ecstatic and on edge — excited, yes, but also deliciously freaked out. The kind of feeling that means it still matters. That it’s alive.
12 years in, and it hasn’t dulled. We’re so psyched about serving you this smorgasbord we’ve worked on all year.

Some passes are already running low — if you want in, now’s the moment to secure yours.

We’ll meet you there — in the pulse, in the noise, in the spaces between.

INTONAL 2026 Artist Presentation
Elektron Super Sekvens 2026
Elektron Super Sekvens returns as a recurring convergence — a temporary zone shaped around machines. Artists enter with their instruments and methods, meeting inside a shared system of synthesisers, drum machines, and modular circuitry. The Elektron Team joins at the centre. What unfolds is improvised: shaped through listening, response, and subtle real-time shifts.

This year’s alchemists:

Aho Ssan
Aho Ssan, the project of Paris-based Niamké Désiré, moves between composition, sound design, and audiovisual practice. His debut Simulacrum explores perception through dense synthesis, fractured rhythm, and distortion. Since Berlin Atonal, he has performed globally. Releases like Rhizomes, Limen, and Ego Death extend his exploration of sound as structure.

Catenation (fka Dissonant Witchcraft)
Catenation is the project of Berlin-based composer Jeanne Artemis. Drawing from composition and electronic performance, her work is shaped by clarity and attentive listening. Using hardware synthesizers, she builds evolving environments where sequences stretch and textures accumulate, allowing intensity to emerge through restraint.

Iggor Cavalera
Iggor Cavalera, co-founder of Sepultura, expanded from drumming into electronic and experimental sound. Integrating drum machines, modular synthesis, and noise, his work moves beyond genre. Through Mixhell, Petbrick, and solo releases, he explores atmospheric territories where rhythm dissolves into texture.

Simona Zamboli
Simona Zamboli is an Italian electronic musician and sound designer based in Milan. With roots in guitar and audio studies, her work bridges precision and physicality. Performing with drum machines and synthesisers, she crafts rhythmic environments between experimental electronics and techno.

SSTROM
SSTROM is a Swedish artist exploring restrained, rhythm-driven electronics. Across a decade, the project has developed a sound both minimal and expressive. As pa

(DJ) Blech
Starting in the local music scene of Berlin-Neukölln and growing with the ever-loving support and beauty of the Mutant Radio community. Connecting music that doesn’t obviously go together and a friend of contradictions. The delicate solos, fine tuned bird songs, the heavy riffs, the screaming punk, the expanding scapes, the playful piano and the dancing drums.

INTONAL 2026 Artist Presentation:
Damkapellet/Agnes Kofoed Christianson
If Not Us is a performative work for acoustic instruments and performative musicians, composed for Damkapellet.

In this piece, composer Agnes Kofoed Christianson explores the interwoven forms of interdisciplinary contemporary art music as an act of resistance, developed through a process-based collaboration with choreographer and dancer Maria Påhls and the ensemble.

Created in a time of genocide and war, the work seeks to explore the true meaning of resistance. It draws inspiration from the energy of anger and the conflict in Peter Weiss’ play Marat/Sade, asking whether “revolution” and the “self” can share common ground - or if they are, by nature, irreconcilable.

Damkapellet ensemble:
Violin - Julija Morgan
Viola - Tove Bagge
Cello - Nicole Hogstrand
Percussion - Irene Bianco
Vocalist, composition, concept, costume - Agnes Kofoed Christianson
Choreography - Maria Påhls
Costume inspiration and consultation - Maja Svartåker and Ranin George Souliman

The concert is produced by Lynx performance in collaboration with Intonal, St Pauli kyrka in Malmö and Musik i Syd. Supported by Kulturrådet, Malmö stad, Stockholm stad, Helge Ax:son Johnsons stiftelse, KODA.

INTONAL 2026 Artist Presentation:
XTC in the XIV
XTC in the XIV work at the meeting point of medieval polyphony and contemporary repetition. What began as a sample-based exploration of early vocal harmony has evolved into a living ensemble, where voices and electronics sustain a shared state of elevation. Loops stretch beyond their original frame; harmonies are held until they begin to shimmer. Linear time softens. Sound gathers into cycles that feel continuous and immersive.

Their practice first took shape through manipulated fragments of fourteenth-century compositions — time-stretched, pitch-shifted, guided by the pacing of club structures. Early releases appeared on Varg’s Cease 2 Exist and A Sudden Point of Balance, alongside a recent remix for Vox Vulgaris. That material has now crystallised into a full-length album on Supertraditional Records, newly released, marking a deeper commitment to voice as both source and instrument.

Today, the ensemble recreates and expands those sampled architectures in real time. Voices interlock with live electronics, sustaining tones that hover between sacred music and dance-floor hypnosis. Their performances have unfolded in spaces as varied as Norbergfestival, Visby Cathedral and Ställbergs Gruva, each room shaping the resonance differently. The group brings together composers, improvisers and singers rooted in folk and classical traditions, forming a collective sound that feels devotional yet contemporary — ecstasy through repetition, breath carried forward in unbroken arcs.

INTONAL 2026 Artist Presentation:
swanasa
swanasa works with sound as a slow immersion. Her practice unfolds through ambient and drone-based structures, shaped by field recordings, analogue tones and finely detailed digital processing. Organic traces — air, resonance, distant movement — settle into synthetic layers, forming environments where duration feels stretched and tactile. She describes her approach as “shaping time into space,” guided by interests in totemism, Jungian psychology and Taoist philosophy, where sound becomes both landscape and interior reflection.
Her debut EP when you need to rest, let the sounds hold you (2023) on EXILES introduced this language with quiet clarity, later noted by The Quietus for its depth and composure. The continuation, The Mirror (2024) on A Strangely Isolated Place, deepened the dialogue between natural and synthetic textures. Her work has garnered attention from Abul Mogard and Rafael Anton Irisarri, situating her within a wider sphere of contemporary contemplative sound.
In live settings, these pieces unfold with measured patience — tones swelling, dissolving, returning in altered light. From 2026 onward, swanasa continues into new thematic terrain, maintaining a focus on space, perception and the subtle emotional charge held within sustained sound.

INTONAL 2026 Artist Presentation:
Slikback
Slikback (Fredrick M. Njau) shapes electronic music with a rhythmic language that feels singular and continually evolving. Built from fractured bass, high-velocity percussion and dense atmospheres, his tracks move through complex, shifting grids where patterns splinter and reform in real time. The structures rarely settle. They mutate, accelerate, collapse and return with altered force, revealing a precision that borders on architectural.

The breadth of his collaborations and labels points to a practice that moves beyond category. Recent work on Tempa placed him within a lineage of foundational dubstep, while his album Attrition on Planet Mu extended his sound into cinematic, high-impact terrain. His collaboration with Skrillex on “Kixa” brought his rhythmic intensity into a wider sphere without diluting its edge. Across scenes and formats, his voice remains unmistakable — detailed, uncompromising, difficult to replicate.

When he previously played at Inkonst (2021), the result was a concentrated eruption — rhythm layered upon rhythm until the floor felt suspended in motion. It remains one of the most intricately constructed and physically overwhelming dance experiences to pass through the space. In performance, Slikback builds pressure with exacting control, guiding the room through velocity and rupture. The impact is immediate, yet the complexity continues to unfold long after the final frequency fades.
