For the 10th edition of Xplore, I had the honour to invite a legend and icon of the techno scene who helped define the sound of rave music in the early 90s. 

C.J. Bolland is a British/Belgian electronic music producer and DJ who helped define the sound of rave music in the early 1990s.

Xplore w/ CJ Bolland & Andrømeda (*Antwerp) - 29-Aug-23

COMPOSER, LIVE PERFORMER, VISUAL ARTIST -   Female:Pressure - We are Equals / British Council Europe - MUTEK  / Liako Records / Stansa / JOP Rec 
Style: Live Performance, Installations, Soundscape, Experimental Electronics & Circuit Bending, Live A/V, Techno, IDM, Ambient, Downtempo.
Personal experimentation as a learning method.
Millimetric study of rhythm and its manipulation possibilities to influence moods.
Deep research in abandoned and desolate soundscapes that evocate  "solar" activity at the most unexpected moment, reflected by the rhythmic patterns immersed in watery Fx and other rough moments such as solidified lava into the sea.
Robust and defined low frequencies give strength to a peculiar structure, so that the listener comfortably advine to the proposed melodies. Bring the audience to participate in what it hears.
Sleek, Spacey, Syncopated Sounds & Downtempo.
An emotional journey, pills of melodies, noises and techno drums."
