GARAGEN X KNIFE TAKEOVER

MC Nora and DJ Liam are taking over the afterparty, bringing the raw energy and atmosphere of Garagen straight from Nuuk.

MC Nora Bio

Meet our MC and afterparty host, Nora, from Nuuk.

Nora is always smiling, down-to-earth, and ready to create a great atmosphere. She loves bringing people together and getting the audience to vibe along with the energy in the room.

For her, it is all about community, good vibes, and creating space for the new energy and creativity emerging back home in Greenland.

DJ Liam Bio

Meet DJ Liam, originally from Ilulissat and now based in Nuuk.

With roots in music, film, live concerts, and DJing, Liam brings both experience and passion into everything he does. Through his work, he helps create life, atmosphere, and unforgettable moments in Nuuk and across the Greenlandic coast.

Behind the decks, DJ Liam delivers an energetic mix of house and afro beats, combined with creative effects that elevate the entire dancefloor experience.

About Garagen

In the heart of Nuuk, you will find the city’s only nightclub: Garagen — raw, uncompromising, and full of edge.

Garagen delivers a true underground atmosphere with heavy bass and a dancefloor that is always alive. As part of Brewhouse Greenland, Garagen exists under the same roof as Daddy’s, Killut, and Takuss, creating a full venue experience with multiple vibes in one location.

Expect:

Packed nights and a full house

An energetic dancefloor

Local DJs with their finger on the pulse

Local guests side by side with international visitors

A unique, raw atmosphere unlike anywhere else in the city

Garagen is not just a nightclub — it is the party in Nuuk.

Meet the crew! This is our graphic designer, Marie Amalie Høegh, 29 years old, daughter of a Danish mother and a Greenlandic father — a child of two cultures.

Marie is educated in Jewellery, Technology & Business, and her creative work is deeply inspired by her cultural background and Greenlandic visual traditions.

The inspiration behind the logo, besides representing the “K” in KNIFE, comes from the traditional Greenlandic Ulu. The cut-out star shape symbolizes a small “eye” into the culture.

The visual identity is inspired by Greenland’s raw and powerful nature, while the northern lights reflect the softer and more emotional values behind the project.
We are very happy to have you on our team Marie! You did SO well with the logo🖤🔪🔥🫵🏽

Aviana will be presenting Danskerangst, a personal and poetic exploration of Greenlandic identity, belonging, and alienation. The performance reflects on the contrast between Greenlandic ways of being and the social norms encountered in Denmark. Experiences of racism, cultural misunderstanding, and silence gradually create a sense of anxiety, invisibility, and disconnection from oneself.

Through intimate storytelling, political audio soundscapes, and traditional drum dance, the work becomes a powerful reclaiming of identity and the right to exist.

Bio

Aviana Steinbacher is a Greenlandic actress trained at the National Theatre of Greenland acting school. In 2023, she received a Reumert Award, after which she expanded her artistic practice into poetry and playwriting.

She both wrote and performed in the plays Marlukasiulluta / Det’Vito and Blå Sne. Alongside her theatre work, she also appears in the Danish youth series Salsa on DR.

Rooted in her Greenlandic identity, her artistic work explores political, cultural, and personal narratives through an intimate and poetic stage presence.

Meet the crew! This is our producer, Lea Hedeskov (they/them) from Denmark.

As a cultural producer, Lea is driven by creating spaces that are accessible and welcoming. They believe in the political potential of culture and the importance of building infrastructure that enables more people to connect through and within the arts.
We are very pleased to have them in our team🙏🏽🔪🖤

Meet the crew! This is our producer, Hans Lars Jensen, born in Nuuk and raised in Qeqertarsuaq and around Disko Bay.

He is currently studying Event Management at Zealand Academy of Technologies and Business as part of a Professional Bachelor’s degree.

Hans is passionate about seeing Greenland gain greater recognition within art and music, especially as Greenland has received increasing international attention in recent years.
We are very grateful to have you on the team Hansi🖤🔪🙏🏽

DJ at your service!

This Danish-Greenlandic DJ serves tracks from every corner of the musical spectrum — including a solid handful from Inuit artists.

Malia’s setlist make you dance across the floor like morning dew on a meadow. Once you let yourself get swept away, there’s no turning back - the only breaks you’ll get are when you need to find a rehydration station.

Come join and let your ears be drenched in sonic p**n from wonderful dance gems and immortal classics you didn’t even know you missed!
