Gifgrond (again) – saturday 18th November

This January we kicked off the year with a party at Gifgrond… and now we return to this awesome spot in Tilburg (NL) to sort of close the year…

The line-up features Staatseinde and Garçon Taupe… both Dutch projects that recently released records on Enfant Terrible… so I consider this a delayed release party for these acts…

Staatseinde will bring their elektro pop live in stage and Garçon Taupe will perform live his acid trax…

Next to that TWINS from the USA will kick off his first European tour that night… his latest album from last year (Rather Not, Enfant Terrible 2016) got great feedback due to the original blending of styles like elektro, EBM, new wave, post-punk and more… A new 7″ is planned for the first part of 2018… also on Enfant Terrible…

Throughout the night I will spin records… and hopefully there will be some dancers / clubbers to close to night with…

 

ADEV

Yesterday me and Alacidus played back 2 back during the ADEV rally… it was an absolute great opportunity  for us the play music we cannot play at many places… the streetrave was all about attention for the subcultural roots of dance music culture and the more edgy and adventurous aspects of contemporary dance music for which there is almost no space at ADE… neither at many venues and festivals in general these days…

Next to that ADEV was this year about retaining and saving ADM, a cultural free haven in Amsterdam which is threatened by real estate agencies…

We selected some of our favourite classics and contemporary tracks in the field of techno music… meaning we played only hard and brutal tracks…  and had a lot of fun doing so…

Fight for your right to party!

Gooiland/ET mix

A few weeks ago we recorded a Radio Resistencia episode at Red Light Radio in Amsterdam. Of course the show was narrowcasted on Intergalactic FM… as always!

The set I did over there is now online at my mixcloud. It features only Gooiland Elektro and Enfant Terrible vinyls… a lot of recent stuff but also a few oldies and (modern) classics… you can also listen to the dj set below…

M. for Bizaar Bazaar

Next to the recording for LYL Radio (see post before this one) I also did a mixtape for Bizaar Bazaar… an awesome blog run by Bergsonist… you will find track premieres over there and reviews and Q&A’s and podcasts/mixtapes… and more…

I took me forever to record this one but I managed in the end… it is done sloppy and trashy just how I dj basically… content above technique!

This set features upcoming and planned stuff from mostly Gooiland Elektro and a few Enfant Terrible pieces… you can listen and check the playlist here… and you can also tune in below…

FOQL – Lower Your Expectations

FOQL is no stranger I hope to people checking this website and blog… this Polish producer released an 12″ EP on Gooiland Elektro and contributed tracks to compilations both as FOQL as with the Osty project she is part of…

Recently a new album was released on cassette by Always Human Tapes… this album is entitled “Lower Your Expectations”… but unlike the title maybe suggests the music is top notch…

FOQL never really does one thing nor copy cats herself so to speak… so expect some new sounds from her… still recognisable… but this album is quite divers… ranging from minimal electronics to acid and to harsh techno… the louder and freaky techno and acid pieces are my favourites but the complete album is worth checking out…

Below my two favourites tracks and here you can listen to the complete album
