PROGRAM
ANTAL
NL (Rush Hour)
A highly dynamic DJ that has been traveling the world since the mid-90s. Antal is also the boss of Rush Hour Records and record store. He uses his experience to produce and drop new tunes while reissuing absolute classics. His DJ sets take us from Chicago to Africa, but for Clash we asked him to surprise us with a special set, laced with electro and techno bangers.
HELEEN BLANKEN
HABITAT
Prepare for an otherworldly experience! The fully data-driven installation HABITAT by Heleen Blanken will premier in Forum Groningen . HABITAT documents and visualizes natural growth based on 3D scans. Heleen joins forces with NAIVI, who developed the custom-built software for the installation and sound artist Stijn van Beek who composed the soundscapes for HABITAT.
ANIMISTIC BELIEFS
& Jeisson Drenth present: CACHE/SPIRIT (Live A/V)
This young pair from Rotterdam spend their time reimagining UK sounds, IDM intricacies and Detroit feelings using vintage gear and modular synths. Fluid melodies shift into experimental textures. CLASH is proud to have the Dutch premiere of their live A/V show CACHE/SPIRIT in collaboration with visual artist Jeisson Drenth.
SOLID BLAKE
Copenhagen underground icon Emma ‘Solid’ Blake has been convincingly setting foot on the world stage. She performed in the Modeselektion Vol. 4 LP tour in clubs like Berghain and Fabric and was part of the 2018 Red Bull Music Academy in Berlin. Her sound dips into the grittier recesses of techno and electro, with healthy servings of acid.
C / A
BLEEDING EDGE 2020 (Live A/V)
South London-based post-genre music and performing arts duo c / a brings us their thrilling live cinematic A/V experience Bleeding Edge. It’s a study of humankind, blood loss, non-verbal communication, an abysmal future vs. salvation, virtual rave culture and internet entities that intertwines with a network of ideas and stories.
DE KAT
Emotional, rhythmic, psychedelic and exciting: DE KAT performing makes you want to dance while getting lost in the experience. An experience in which dimensions blend and tensions run high. They found each other in psychedelic blues but have recently added a singer to their ensemble. At CLASH you have the unique opportunity to check out new work, which will be presented on their upcoming LP called GOYA & DE KAT.
BOTHLANE
No boundaries, just a unique and vivid way to approach music and sound: Bothlane is the new solo project of drummer Alain Deval (The Brums). Expect a blend between drums and modular synth, deeply rooted in trans and dance music. Bothlane (meaning “madness” in Sesotho) is inspired by techno and afro jazz rhythms.
PEDRO SANCA
(In)Sight
There is not just one reality, but multiple. Factors as our background or life experience determine how we perceive the world. In this sense, what we see is a projection of who we are. Pedro investigates this conundrum through a participatory audiovisual work. Presented in cooperation with Grand Theatre.
