Klia No.1. The first in a series of very special gigs joining the forces of Gavin Maycroft (Fasching producer, Oma333 label boss, formerly Mother Events) and Sebastian Fors (Slaktkyrkan/Hus 7 producer, Lazy Octopus) in an acknowledgment of the itch Stockholm desperately needs to scratch.

Watch this space for more glories to come!

"First Hate is one of the most influential acts of Copenhagen in the last decade, they are responsible for so much more than just the catchy party anthems and heart-aching melodies most people know them for. Venturing into laptop production and underground pop music as a way to break away from the sound of their peers in Copenhagen's post-punk and noise scene (Iceage, Posh Isolation), craftsmanship and technique are subordinate to them when it comes to being innovative... Think Pet Shop Boys, The Sound of Arrows, The Righteous Brothers, and Underworld, now close your eyes and imagine dancing to a blend of all of them in Copenhagen’s bests clubs"

Antonio Rodríguez / Metal Magazine

The First Hate catalog comprises more than nine years of work, including their 2017 cult classic, A Prayer For The Unemployed, a collaborative album Dittes Bog, two EPs, and several singles. All of the recordings are self-produced until they are ready to be finished in the studio. “We have sort of a twin alliance. Like couples finishing each other’s spaghetti at restaurants, we finish each other’s music. Having people enter this sacred mix has been such a pleasure.”

On stage Anton and Joakim embody the contrasting yet complimentary energies of yin and yang: Joakim pushing buttons, steering the ship, working synths and samplers with harmonious calm, while Anton’s body bullets around the stage, pounding out his kinetic dance moves.

First Hate has performed over a hundred shows across Europe, Asia, the U.S., and Russia, both as headliners and alongside fellow Copenhagen acts Iceage, Lust For Youth, Communions, Soho Rezanejad, Trentemøller, and Grand Prix. “We are on a quest of love, yes it’s as cheesy as that.”

Their latest album, The Remix Experience, was released in December 2022 and includes Rebecca and Fiona and Croatian Amor. Cotton Candy was unleashed in May 2022. Both on Escho and Cascine.
