Alternatíva and Sad House Daddy present: COLD MOON RITES

As winter settles and the full Cold Moon rises, Alternatíva returns with another night of raw, immersive performance — where the underground meets the divine, and sound becomes ritual.

COLD MOON RITES gathers four singular artists who each bend genre, mood, and form into something transcendent. Expect hypnotic electronics, dark pop incantations, and moments of cathartic intensity beneath the final full moon of the year.

Lineup:

VAL REPTILE

London-based electronic artist Valentina Reptile merges industrial grit, synth-wave glimmer, and dark electro-pop intensity. Her live sets channel raw energy, cinematic tension, and visceral emotion — sculpting sound as much as playing it. With sharp beats, distorted textures, and a magnetic vocal delivery, Val Reptile’s show feels like stepping into a dark, pulsating dreamscape.

MIÉTTE.

MIÉTTE. channels existential horror through electronic dance music. Ethereal soundscapes, industrial textures, and gothic undertones intertwine into hypnotic, techno-led rhythms — a confrontation. Each performance is a meditation on the study of the human condition — MIÉTTE. turns the dance floor into a temple of flesh, requiring audiences to seek release, surrender, and catharsis through dance. Where language fails, music and movement conduct the ritual. To understand MIÉTTE., it needs to be experienced. http://linktr.ee/_miett333

ANDRE ARISTOTLE

Blending 80s synth-pop, darkwave and industrial electronica, Andre Aristotle creates a sound that’s both retro and unmistakably modern, evoking dystopian, neon-lit cityscapes and shadowy dance floors, drawing inspiration from the likes of Depeche Mode, John Carpenter and Nine Inch Nails. Andre Aristotle crafts an atmospheric synthwave that resonates with vulnerability and rebellion. https://soundcloud.com/andre-aristotle

NÓWNØIS

Founder of Alternatíva, Nównøis fuses haunting vocals, field-sampled noises, and deeply textured electronica. Her music transforms everyday sound into cinematic landscapes — where vulnerability becomes presence and rhythm becomes narrative. Live, Nównøis delivers an otherworldly yet grounded experience, where moments of fragility erupt into waves of power. https://www.nownois.com
