History

Nabovarsel was founded as a club concept at now defunct Miles Ahead (venue currently occupied by Dreams Showbar), by Emilio Sanhueza and Kasper Lygre Gulbrandsen in 2004. It was further established as a record label as events were being held in Teknikerkroen, an old war bunker beneath Nordnes. In 2009, as Teknikerkroen closed and the working members of the organisation grew, Nabovarsel moved to holding events at Bergen Kunsthall. Current working members include Emilio Sanhueza, Kasper Lygre Gulbrandsen, Øde Øyvind, Jacob Lysgaard, Andreas Kleven Rasmussen (Pandreas), Njaal (Young Dreams), PYHUFNT), Petter Berge and Tobias Sørensen Urhaug (Tobii).
