Lychee - Live From The Great Beyond (07.27.2024 | 3–5pm)

Over the coming weeks, we'll be talking to different artists who are co-curating the 2024 edition of the festival. We dive into their creative process and explore their inspirations, all in honest conversations straight from the heart.

We’re very happy to share a new podcast episode, this time with Mama Snake and Martinou who open up about their upcoming and debut b2b set at our Aura next week. 

Though you might notice some contrast in their musical output, their connection to the hypnotic Nordic sound unites them, with both seeking those spine-tingling moments in music. They share personal stories about their close bond with the Draaimolen and Nous'klaer Audio teams, and how the festival's atmosphere will shape their performance. 

There were a few audio glitches, but the conversation was too heartfelt to cut.

//

The host of this podcast is Chanel Kadir, Draaimolen’s external PR officer who has been working with the team since 2023. Outside of that, she works across many different creative platforms within the music sphere including editorial-led platforms such as Untitled 909 and wav.world. She's also the co-curator of the F1-focused mix series G-FORCE and host of radio residencies across Netil Radio and Refuge Worldwide.

This podcast is edited and composed by Tilburg music producer Ramses3000, also known as multidisciplinary artist Yannick Verhoeven. Incorporating ambient, jazz, new age and psychedelic music, the classical and digital worlds meet in Yannick's sonic world. He has recently released his new album 'Thalamus' on Intercept Records, for which he spent three months in a monastery with the aim of composing music that helps the listener to relax and process the stimuli of everyday life.

In conversation with Mama Snake & Martinou

After two years we're re-installing the Nous'klaer Radio mix series. And with what a mix. Ahead of her performance at our Draaimolen stage-hosting Marie Pravda gave us this mix, b2b fleika , recorded live at Ankali in Prague. Four hours of the exact type of techno we love. Enjoy <3.

"The recording is from a party curated by me: Planeta Pravda in Planeta Za. It was finally a night full of deep techno where people came & stayed for the music. Everybody in their own world yet dancing as one on the dancefloor, it was such a memorable moment." - Marie Pravda

We are happy to welcome Pleaser (former Fibre Optixx) to our 23rd Herbarium episode. With various influences he showcases a tribal yet housy but technoid selection. We were amazed by many interesting audio experiments throughout his well crafted journey.

Pleaser chose the plant Datura Stramonium for his mix, here is why:
Datura Stramonium is a psychoactive deliriant traditionally used in folk medicine and occult ritual. The drug induces a state of total confusion and disassociation, with users reporting not knowing where they are for days at a time. Join me on this long strange trip.

About Pleaser

Pleaser is the new musical project of  the Berlin based artist formerly known as Fibre Optixx. Born out of a desire to explore and abstract musical motifs from genres spanning from low slung chugged out disco or jacking machine music by way of Chicago and Detroit, to the gritty textural sounds of black metal, goth rock and hardcore. Under his Fibre Optixx moniker, he has released a number of EPs on KANN Records as well as a self release, and has a new album set to release towards the end of the year.

Herbarium No 23 - Pleaser - Datura Stramonium

Living, breathing, banging techno from an artist defining the highly-textured new frontier of the sound in 2024.

Lindsey Wang, AKA Polygonia, has an amorphous style you could call organic—or, better yet, harmonious. She interweaves unfamiliar elements with a mercurial touch. Wang can make something completely otherworldly sound totally, well, natural. It's made her a fixture everywhere from Munich's BLITZ to major festivals like Sustain-Release and Draaimolen.

Unsurprisingly, Wang is not one to be pinned down. Be it the sound design-anchored side project Lyder, her own label QEONE, or co-producing an album's worth of experimental percussion alongside jazz drummer Simon Popp, it's fair to say her personal output matches the feverish energy of her mixes. There's multidisciplinary, and then there's Wang: Poly-disciplinary, you might say.

Wang's entry into the RA Podcast series is no different, another stellar emphasis of her artistry. RA.955 is a voyage into wild variations of texture, rhythm and feeling, guided along by the principle of endless metamorphosis. Supple driving grooves meet crinkled surfaces, scuttling hi-hats meet chattering sonics, and good luck keeping hold of a consistent drum pattern for long. Behold a living organism raised by the club and the great outdoors in equal measure.
