Lunchmeat’s annual collaboration with the Ankali nightclub takes shape on Wednesday 27th, bringing a diverse and international lineup, with celebrated Prague familiars to bear alongside South Korean musician and performance artist bela, and Amsterdam-based DJ Sarkawt Hamad.

Releasing their breakthrough album ‘Guidelines’ — a sensitive yet blistering and modern approach to the traditional Korean music of Nongak — through the highly praised experimental label Éditions Appærent, and performing in Berghain’s Säule for CTM Festival 2023, bela comes to Lunchmeat as a DJ, granting a taste of the Sorrow Club mixed-form events they co-run in the German Capital.

Sarkawt Hamad is an Amsterdam-based DJ firmly rooted in the Dutch underground scene. Inspired by a diverse array of genres, styles and moods, expect a concoction that marries euphoria, noise, and pensive introspection.

Gnäw, a Czechia-based duo comprised of Arash Ghasemi and Simo Hakalisto, also come to the stage with their own reimagining of the folk musics of their home countries — Iran and Finland, respectively. Taking the traditional instruments of their home territories, the pair weave a tapestry of spiritually wired psychedelia, nocturnal melancholia and searing desert music.

Joining these two acts are names central to Ankali, and the adjacent Glory Affairs community: Mor Wen, ionai, Qow and hadri. Audiovisual artist Qow, who releases his second album ‘ElMosameh Sherine’ through Cairo’s Irsh label/collective, plays live, while hadri, Mor Wen and ionai bring their individually inimitable takes on dance music to the decks, filtered through a lens of conceptualism rooted in celebration of community, spiritual activism and modern folklore.
