Apparatus
Sascha Ring is a master of elegance who started with powerful techno and later embraced a range of genres from pop to IDM.

Blawan
Emerging from the post-dubstep scene, he achieved success with releases on Hessle Audio and R&S—a dark version of Brandy's "I Wanna Be Down" titled "Getting Me Down" became a massive club hit. His 2012 hit "Why They Hide Their Bodies Under My Garage" established him as a leader of the industrial techno revival. In 2015, he returned with his own label, Ternesc, switching to modular synthesizers, which introduced a new dynamic to his sound. In the fall of 2025, he released the long-awaited SickElixir—his most personal work, created in Berlin, Leeds, Paris, and Lisbon. Combining grief, family trauma, and seismic life changes, the album immerses listeners in a chaotic yet meticulous soundscape that reflects the past and presents a bold vision of the future.
BOKKA
One of the most enigmatic bands on the Polish alternative scene – faces hidden behind masks, music that speaks for itself.

They arrive at TNMK just after a European tour supporting Archive.
Busy P
If you're familiar with Justice, SebastiAn, Uffie, or Breakbot, you're familiar with Pedro Winter's work. In his native Paris, Busy P is a symbol of the musical underground.
A former skateboarder and hard rock fan, he accidentally fell in love with techno and house in the late 1980s. He began his DJing career in 1995, and a year later, his infectious energy led him to become Daft Punk's manager. In 2003, he emerged from the shadows and founded the influential Ed Banger Records—the label that introduced Justice, SebastiAn, and other icons of the French Touch. Busy P was one of the first to recognize the potential of the internet in the music industry. After working for Daft Punk, he became Justice's manager. In 2016, he received the Order of Arts and Letters for his significant contribution to France's cultural heritage.

Hania Rani - TNMK 2026Download
Hania Rani will perform her first piano concerto with the Polish National Radio Symphony Orchestra. The monumental NOSPR concert hall will serve as the inaugural stage for the festival, which for two decades has explored the elusive and captivating in music.
"Non Fiction: Piano Concerto in Four Movements" is a symphonic work inspired by the work of Josima Feldszuh, a young composer from the Warsaw Ghetto. Hania Rani interweaves this story with images of contemporary conflicts in Ukraine and the Gaza Strip, exploring the coexistence of harmony and chaos. She creates a sonic metaphor for the survival of the human spirit in the face of violence. The power of Hania Rani's music lies in the combination of intimate sensitivity and bold ideas – and it is this combination that captivates audiences worldwide. The classically trained pianist, vocalist, and composer has released more than a dozen solo and collaborative albums, as well as music for film, theater, and art installations. It is in this unique way – with music that combines the intimacy of the piano with the momentum of a symphony orchestra – that we will open the 21st edition of the festival. This is just the beginning of announcements – we will soon reveal further surprises for TNMK 2026.
Herbert & Momoko
Matthew Herbert and drummer-vocalist Momoko Gill join forces in a soulful collaboration that moves between dancefloor and introspective moods.

Nimble and honest, "Clay" draws from a diverse range of found sources—from Japanese kotos to basketballs—to give its sound an organic feel. For Herbert, this means treating the world as an instrument: bombs exploding in Libya, horse skeletons, 20,000 dogs, 245 stores. His album "ONE PIG"—tracing the life cycle of a pig from birth to plate—remains one of the most provocative works of electronic music this century.
