Draaimolen Podcast

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.

The first episode is out today with Draaimolen's Forest Rave stage curators, Eris Drew & Octo Octa. Listen to the episode to find out more about their approach to stage curation, the importance of sound systems, some highlights from this year's line-up and special memories from past years ♥️

In conversation with Eris Drew & Octo Octa

We continue our podcast conversations with Kikelomo & A Song For You, who bring their collaborative debut to our forest on Friday 6th September!  

Electronic and choral music will mix as 8 vocalists line up around the booth to put on a show that will unite us across the dance floor. You'll be carrying this experience with you for the rest of the weekend.  

We talk to Kike, Noah and Danesh about the origins of singing and how it's as ingrained in humanity as music and rhythm. We also speak about how A Song For You came to be, how Kike got involved and what to expect during their performance at Draaimolen.  

We can't wait, and we're pretty sure you won't either, after listening to this episode.  

Love,  
Team Draaimolen ❤️

We continue our podcast series with Blawan & Pariah, who are back to curate The Pit for the second year in a row!

In a wide-open conversation, they share their experiences of the past and highlights of the future, giving an insight into what makes The Pit unique.

As chaotic as the stage itself, we go from heel to branch as we dive into a lively conversation, touching on their careers, how Draaimolen fits into the mix, and the fragility of being in the programmer's seat.

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.

With just two days left until Draaimolen Festival 2024, we’re excited to bring you the final episode of our podcast series. In this episode, we chat with Satyajit Das, the visionary behind Architecture Social Club.

The team first joined us in 2022, gracing our forest with two innovative installations that blended perfectly with the backdrop of our MOB complex. This year they're back with a brand new design, as 360 individually controllable analogue lights will envelop the largest dance floor in our forest.

Our conversation explores the foundations of the studio as Satyajid shares insights into their creative processes. We discuss the experience of immersing yourself in a work of art, rather than observing it from a distance, and how to evoke deep emotion by creating a powerful context.

This episode offers a glimpse of the magic they'll be bringing to our forest, and it's sure to leave you breathless.
