Ultra Club con KLANG
The ULTRA CLUB section of the Romaeuropa Festival once again intertwines its path with KLANG, a curatorial platform long dedicated to the exploration and dissemination of other, lateral, and unclassifiable sonic worlds. For years, KLANG has operated as a sensitive antenna for new forms of musical and sonic research: a practice of listening and mapping that spans radical artistic identities, off-axis trajectories, and languages that move beyond recognisable formats and conventions. A continuous investigation into those who make experimentation their grammar and risk their form—less to redefine what music is, than to push toward what it can still become.
For this new collaboration, Ultra Club x KLANG constructs a night that moves between emotional tension, electronic mutation, sonic writing, and genre collisions: a living, unstable landscape crossed by visions that escape categorisation.
In the line-up:
aya
Among the most unpredictable and magnetic voices of the present, aya arrives with a sonic practice that moves through club culture, fragments of internet aesthetics, embodied memory, and post-hardcore drifts, turning every set and live performance into a constantly combusting material.
Released on prestigious labels such as Hyperdub, Tri Angle, Wisdom Teeth, Astral Plane, and co-founder of YCO, aya has developed over the years a highly personal, abrasive, and deeply emotional language, capable of fusing deconstruction and physical intensity into ever-shifting forms.
Following the acclaimed debut im hole and the release of the new album hexed! (which reached the top ten of major 2025 album rankings), aya confirms herself as one of the most radical and necessary presences on the contemporary scene: visionary, unstable, impossible to predict.
Ludvig III
The solo alias of Danish musician and drummer Jonathan Jull Ludvigsen, J. Ludvig III is a project that dismantles expectations and fixed identities, moving between emotional songwriting, melodic tension, experimental production, and an imaginary touching emo, hardcore, alt-metal, and warped pop.
After emerging on the contemporary jazz scene with Athletic Progression, Ludvigsen has reshaped his path into a personal, unformatted trajectory. With EMOTAN—an intense, vulnerable, and powerfully mutating album—he presents a sonic universe shaped by loss, rupture, and transformation, where voice, distortion, space, and emotional impact coexist in precarious balance. A live performance that is at once implosion and release, built on rare sensitivity and a magnetic stage presence.
A further special act will be announced soon.
A night conceived as a passage: between club and performance, matter and memory, between what we recognise and what has yet to be named.
