Moris Blak
MORIS BLAK’s debut release The Irregularity of Being redefined the sound of dark electronics when it was unleashed on the dark club scene in 2019. The project’s unique blending of cold industrial soundscapes with the beat-driven precision of modern electronic dance music was delivered with a gut-punch of a stage performance, complete with self-programmed visuals sweeping the room in a vivid blood-red.
The project’s pioneering "industrial bass music" means massive, destructive sound undergirded by an addictive, grooving beat and brutal aggression that drives club-goers to the dance floor.
