Drawing from her compositions for Helena Wittmann's film DRIFT (2017), Nika Son creates a sonic journey across the Atlantic Ocean. Following a weekend at the North Sea, one of Wittmann’s two protagonists embarks on a journey across the Atlantic from the Caribbean to the Azores, during which unpredictable waves and deep sleep foster a transformative experience.

Capturing the essence of this cinematic encounter through sound, Nika Son’s compositions allow the water itself to become a storyteller, immersing listeners in the resonating body of the boat and plunging them into the profound depth of the ever-shifting ocean. 

Whether illuminated by daylight or veiled by night, the nature of this material world emerges through an exploration of the ocean as a distinct and tangible space, inviting contemplation of its transformative power. The line between reality and imagination blurs, and the waves echo the emotions of the voyage.

In the early '80s, Dutch band Nadagen carved themselves a niche in Amsterdam's post-punk scene, where nihilism was a call to arms. Their name translates to 'aftermath' or 'twilight years', reflecting their existential outlook: their songs offered prophecies of impending doom, echoing their belief in the imminent end of the world. Nadagen's minimal instrumentation and shouted lyrics convey a sense of rebellion, denouncing the consumerism and so-called decency of the era. Despite a brief existence, they left a legacy that resonates in today's troubled times, making their records a gleeful experience for all the long-standing doomsayers out there.

Kleingeld, our favourite new DJ from Rotterdam, made the first Nous’klaer Radio of 2020. We had the pleasure of seeing her play a couple of times in a small open air venue here called Keilecafe. Her selections are wild, not bound to any genre, blending kraut with DnB, hip hop, an occasional house track and lots of otherworldly electronica. Big thanks to @kleingeldkleingeld for the mix.

Kleingeld and Oberman play together in The Hague’s @HetMagazijn club coming friday: https://www.facebook.com/events/580932379377403/
