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. 

EDWIN VAN DER HEIDE

Elevated Projection

Do we need space exploration if you can create a dream-world? Edwin makes exciting otherworldly landscapes using light, sound and imagination. Immerse yourself in one of the largest and most overwhelming art pieces of the festival.

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.

JEISSON DRENTH

Act Natural

After working as a VJ and graphic designer Jeisson started to work on his performance series ‘Act Natural’. With these solo performances he investigates identity and how it relates to modern technology. 

TOBYLIKESMILK

A queer performance company based in Berlin. It’s thought provoking, innovative and unapologetically loud. We love how TobyLikesMilk confronts us and makes us reflect on the world and the wonderfully weird people inhabiting it. 

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. 


Play Video

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. 

JIMI KLEINBRUININK

Jimi creates large installations using a fresh combination of natural and reused materials. His installations are large and still keep a certain lightness, that make them seem weightless. Presented in cooperation with the Grasnapolsky Festival. 

Play Video

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.

HILDE ONIS

Hilde’s art installations make you stop and think twice. Oftentimes she incorporates performance into her pieces. For Clash she will create something completely new. This work is presented in cooperation with Het Resort. 

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.

RITA HOOFWIJK

While Waiting

Performance artist Rita Hoofwijk presents her work ‘While Waiting’. She plays on anticipation and surprise. Who are we while we’re waiting? Do our expectations define who we are? Presented in cooperation with Grand Theatre.

Play Video

REAL FARMER

Their motto: maximum living on a minimum wage. Board the fast paced punk train to headaches and regrets. Relieve Real Farmer from lonesome travels and jump up and down on a spontaneous combusting tempo. 

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.

HELEEN BLANKEN

HABITAT (video teaser)

Prepare for an otherworldly experience! Replacing the real-life experience is a video teaser of Heleen Blanken’s fully data-driven installation HABITAT.

Next year we will showcase the life size HABITAT experience in the awesome Rabo Studio in Forum Groningen. We recommend you watch this video full screen with headphones.
