Organisers: @LomaDoom (Femke Dekker), Werker Collective

Guests: Mokum Kraakt, Niet te Koop, OCCII, W139, We Are Here, Adam Adriss, Ad de Jong, Guilly Koster, Teferi Mekonen, Boudewijn Ruckert, Sjoerd Stolk, Wouter Stroet, Alite Thijssen, Elke Uitentuis, Annegriet Wietsma.

The Right to the City XXX is a podcast that explores Amsterdam’s grassroots resistance against homelessness and unaffordable housing, and its consequent fuel of counterculture platforms in the city, in the past and in the present, from the first rent strikes of the 1930’s until today.

The project defines an alternative map of the city through a series of conversations and sound-pieces raising questions such as: How to survive today’s neoliberal policy in Amsterdam? Is it possible to create alliances from different positions and privileges to claim back together our Right to the City? What role does art and artists have to play in the ongoing housing struggle, as they are often used as agents of gentrification?

The Right to the City XXX merges Loma Doom (Femke Dekker) and Werker Collective’s long term practices which investigate the role of archives as tools for resistance and political imagination. An edition of screen-printed bandanas has been designed by Werker to help spread the sound waves through the city. 
With the generous support of Social Practice Workshop (Rijksakademie van Beeldende Kunsten), Education from Below (European Culture Fonds), San Serriffe (Mondriaan Fund).

Space Exposure is the stage name of DJ/producer Roel Janssen. He has his own electronic radioshow Space Exposure on Dutch station Concertzender since 2015.

In June 2018 Space Exposure released his debut album 'The Subliminal Serval'. In November 2019 he dropped 'Off The Beaten Track' on Basserk Records. A 2-track EP full of freaky bass music.

The new album ‘Less Is More’ drops on August 14, 2020. ‘Less Is More’ flirts with electronics, IDM, future trap, synthwave, techhouse, drum and bass and soundcapes. Dreamy up-tempo tracks alternate effortlessly with darker, intoxicating productions.

The album features guest contributions from guitarist Gijs Gerrits of Macondo Dust Band (‘Another Time’), DJ/producer DokuSo (‘KOAT’) and saxophonist Julian Main (‘Technology Resistance’), the younger brother of singer/songwriter Gerson Main.

LHISPR is a brand new musical collaboration between Lilian Hak, Ivo Schmetz and Peter Rutten. It all began with a phone call in 2017. Lilian needed a fresh set of ears to listen to a few of her tracks and phoned Ivo. Their musical paths had crossed about ten year earlier, but they had not been in touch since.
Why Lilian decided to phone Ivo specifically still remains a mystery, but one thing lead to another and in Peter’s studio at OT301 they connected musically.

All three members of LHISPR have been active in the music industry for a long time. Lilian can draw on an extensive career as a singer and composer. During this time releasing four albums -including international remixes (with among others T. Raumschmiere and Matthew Herbert)- and touring clubs, festivals and theatres with her band. Peter and Ivo are co-owners of Amsterdam record label Basserk Records. In the past they travelled to far-flung corners of the world with their electropunk band 3-1, performing at least 500 times.
Peter is also the driving force behind the bands Bronstibock and Van Pi and Ivo is co-owner of design studio 310k and has, for many years, been the music programmer at OT301.

It is this diversity of backgrounds and wealth of experience combined, coupled with a few months studio time, that resulted in a first 2 track EP, bringing to life the many facets of LHISPR for the very first time. In the track ‘Déjà vu’ you can hear how electronic music and Lilian’s vocals are combined into an actual song. In ‘Hypnotic’ the instrumental electronic element highlights the more abstract layer of LHISPR’s music. These two different facets are each essential to the identity of LHISPR in which electronic and ambient music, beats, vocals and visual experiment are combined into an eclectic, yet cohesive whole.
