31/1/24 – Hex Post Evening #1

Line-up: Krokodil, Oh Non, McAPath, Elettel Teli

It was freezing cold that night in Paris — but down in the basement of Le Klub, it was a whole different story. For its first event, Hex Post went all-in on raw immersion: a dense line-up, an overcrowded room, and a scenography as minimal as it was striking.

The atmosphere was humid, electric, almost suffocating. An eclectic crowd — punks, fashion figures, musicians, members of the queer and underground scenes — packed tightly into the confined space, caught between the urgency of the performances and the overwhelming heat.

Elettel Teli opened the night with an ethereal yet intense set, setting a suspended tension from the first notes. McAPath, over from Brighton, followed with a sharp and confrontational performance. Ohnon then took over with her cabaret post-punk, shifting between theatricality and tightly held violence. Finally, Krokodil closed with dissonant jazz-punk, carried by a constant tension between chaos and precision.

As for the staging, Nuage — a member of the Hex Post collective — laid out a stripped-down but effective aesthetic: strobe lights, a few shattered TVs hanging in mid-air, and lighting that fragmented bodies in space. A minimalist approach perfectly aligned with the industrial and subterranean identity of the project.

In a single night, Hex Post made its intentions clear: to create events where music, image, and space merge into a full-on sensory experience. A first night under pressure — and a powerful glimpse at what’s to come.
