Real name: Nicolai Vesterkær Krog

Mixing it up is Misantrop, the anti-human human behind the Foul-Up label and Force Field nights in Berlin. Both in practice and theory, the germinating artist’s projects are underpinned by a philosophy of radical self-expression: flawed perfection, perfectly flawed. From disrupting genres in dancefloor deviations in unrestricted ways, to cleverly side-stepping identity tropes in his diversified productions that shimmer with noumenon, Misantrop strikes that elusive note that is universal to all, yet at the same time creating a resonance like no other out there. This rare, raw glory is embodied in his debut album with Metalized Man under the name Glass Knot; “Present Tense” (2018) — a living, breathing creature spawned in the image of its creators.
