Unsound has cemented its position as a major force in Krakow, helping define the city’s contemporary cultural identity via its annual festival. As previously revealed, Unsound is now taking things one step further, by working with cafe and bar Forum Przestrzenie to start a year-round club called 89 set to shake up the city’s nightlife. Positioned beneath the abandoned Hotel Forum in a former strip club, the club features untouched 80s communist-era decor evokes the atmosphere of a David Lynch movie.
Pre-opening events already took place during Unsound in the shape of legendary (and slightly messy!) daytime after parties. Now it’s time for 89 to officially open.
On Saturday 5.11, the night moves in the direction of techno/house with Huerco S. and another old Unsound friend Rabih Beaini (aka Morphosis) both playing 2-hour DJ sets. Opening is Bartosz Kruczyński, ex-member of Ptaki, also known as The Phantom. Kraków’s DiscoMule closes the night.
