Experimental. Elusive. Eccentric. Three of the most distinctive names in the Czech alternative music scene come together this May at Palác Akropolis: Fæ Bestia, mezi patry klid, and LAOKOON.

LAOKOON

They played the very first edition of PULZ back in March 2022, launching their album ŠPERK. Now, LAOKOON return to Palác Akropolis with their latest release ZBYTKY DRESU – and as always, they already have more material in the works. Rapper Mikuláš Hamerla and producer Jiří Machů hail from the Moravian-Silesian region and spent years living together in Brno. Although they now reside in different cities, their creative bond is stronger than ever. Last year, they opened for Danny Brown and appeared at major events like Grape Festival. You can’t turn it off.

mezi patry klid

Matouš Pospíšil and Šimon Pacek make music that creates its own logic. Their project mezi patry klid began as a form of escape – but instead of comfort, it offers a sonic labyrinth full of unexpected connections, blending hyperfolk, trap, and Czech singer-songwriter influences. Their self-titled debut album, released in 2024, experiments with diary-like lyrics and explores new ways to connect electronic textures with guitar-driven roots. The album earned them a nomination for the Vinyla Award in the Discovery of the Year category.

Fæ Bestia

Singer and producer Josefína Tratinová, known as Fæ Bestia, crafts music that’s as hypnotic as it is unpredictable. From baroque-inspired soundscapes to bass-heavy club chaos, her work constantly reimagines itself and pushes sonic boundaries. Releases like ALEGORIE and HEART TRANSPLANT introduced her as an artist who never repeats herself – always evolving, always surprising. Get your hearts ready.

The PULZ concert series at Palác Akropolis is curated by music journalist and moderator Vojtěch Tkáč. The evening is presented in collaboration with Akropolis Underground.
