Alpaka Records Presents | TENTNO | BLED | 18.06.2026 Gdańsk
On June 18, a special event from the Alpaka Records Presents series will take place at Drizzly Grizzly club – the biggest project organized by our label so far. This is the fourth edition of the label’s own celebration, as Alpaka Records continues to make a bold mark on the Polish music scene not only as a publisher, but also as an active organizer of artistic events.
The program includes concerts by artists associated with the label, discussions with creators, and an exhibition of the most interesting album covers from the Alpaka Records catalogue. It is a unique opportunity to discover the inner workings of an independent label and connect directly with its creators.
“We love taking matters into our own hands. Besides our publishing activities, we truly enjoy organizing events that build our community and showcase how diverse and vibrant our Alpaka Records family really is.”
Alpaka Records Presents is an open event for all lovers of independent music, visual art, and creative atmospheres.

20:00 – TENTNO concert
Album premiere: “The truth is at the bottom of the bottomless…”
Krzysztof Hadrych – guitar
Alan Kapołka – drums
Szymon Zalewski – double bass
Marta Prabucka – visuals
“The truth is at the bottom of the bottomless…” marks the culmination of a certain stage in the artistic journey of TENTNO’s leader, Krzysztof Hadrych, who during the creation of this album still could not fully decide whether he was a jazz musician or a metal musician. The record explores deep grief, anxiety, and confusion that accompanied him throughout more than three years of sporadic composition, eventually resulting in these pieces.
The band he assembled draws not only from metal, jazz, and classical traditions, but also from the world of storytelling and imagery, brought to life by visual artist Marta Prabucka. Although the full audiovisual experience is only available during live performances, the album subtly tells the story of the modern human being – someone who, like most people today, struggles to cope with themselves and the endless stream of stimuli attacking their brain like a machine gun, despite our evolutionary adaptation still belonging somewhere closer to the Stone Age.
This story solves nothing and answers no questions, as suggested by the ellipsis in the title. In searching for truth within infinity, TENTNO perhaps only reveals how strange and absurd life itself really is.
21:30 – BLED concert
“Terra Incognita”
Emil Miszk – trumpet, Moog Rogue, electronics
Sławek Koryzno – drums, modular synthesizers, electronics
BLED represents Fourth World Music – a primitive-futuristic sound combining modern electronic music with indigenous and folkloric musical forms from around the world. The duo specializes in creating long, immersive musical forms that allow listeners to pause and sink into their own thoughts.
In a world full of overstimulation and short attention spans, the band deliberately offers compositions that are simple in structure but emotionally and intellectually engaging. It can be described as “a soundtrack to a film that has not yet been made.”
The band has released four albums: “Roots & Futuristic Sci-Fi Sounds”, “Comets Sessions” (2021), as well as “Terra Incognita” and “Comets Sessions VOL. II” (2024).
Terra Incognita, meaning “unknown land,” is a term originating from ancient maps used to mark unexplored territories. For BLED, “Terra Incognita” is not so much about unknown lands, but rather a space free from excess – a place where we rediscover what truly matters and what is merely noise.
It is like a sculptor who, instead of adding more elements, cuts away pieces of material to reveal the hidden form within. It is the art of subtlety, where every sound and every note has its purpose. It is a journey inward – toward simplicity and authenticity.
See you there!
