ambient series

Elly & Rikkert’s Dutch Psychedelica 1967-1975

‘Laat mij verdrinken in jouw muziek”

It is very hard to enter a thrift store in the Netherlands without an Elly & Rikkert record somewhere in its bins. Their ubiquity in thrift stores combined with their absence from the Dutch pop canon, especially when compared to their contemporaries like Boudewijn de Groot and Ramses Shaffy, led to the hypothesis that their music must be pretty bad. 

This hypothesis was far from correct. Their early work is soundwise forward-thinking, cosmic, atmospheric, poetically genius and delightfully weird. The combination of a plethora of obscure percussion, wind, string instruments and even the occasional synthesizer creates an otherworldly sound, which is complemented by their storytelling about gods, fables, mythical creatures and fictitious locations, as well as some tender and sweet romantic songs and a few political nods.

They are most well-known for their ‘Christian Children’s music”, which has dominated their image. Apart from a mention in a Lucky Fonz III song and some coverage of Elly's feature on a Boudewijn de Groot song their music is not discussed much in the secular sphere. To re-evaluate Elly and Rikkert this mix was made. Their work gets gradually more religious over the course of the years, especially after their conversion to Christianity in 1976, which is perhaps the reason their early work is so underappreciated; there is no place in pop culture for Elly and Rikkert in an ever-secularising world. 

This mix combines some of our favourite songs and sections from their early work. An ideal soundtrack to a spring trip and to channel your inner commune.

Ambient Summer Vol 2 w/ paun - 22.09.22

Desire Path w/ Flytipper & Zoe Pea 06/11/22

'Personal quest in exploring the unknown and the familiar, at times dark, at others hopeful, victorious, wonderful. Each 2 months, for 2 hours a time, structured as a series of loosely connected shows, Vanja Rakić interprets a specific topic of choice, in the process excavating sounds from around the world made by those eager to question, and be at odds with the status quo. Embracing the unpredictability, letting go of control and dwelling into alien territory, “naked gums” is here to pose a peak into the alternative, drawing the curious in, and spitting them out on the other side of the tunnel, challenged hopefully.’

C Powers presents to you today on July 4th of 2023 an audio companion to your anti-celebratory experiences. May this mix be with you for those moments when you really do not feel like celebrating the legacy of racism, slavery, and white supremacy that is Amerikkka.

C Powers' sound is informed by years spent collecting records in Atlanta and Chicago, honing crowd control skills in the foggy clubs of London, helping foster queer spaces for dancing in Savannah GA, and solidarity dance nights in Portland OR.

Cecilia's sets and releases combine elements of gay camp, anti-sophistication, extended turntable technique, and a sense of juxtaposition molded by a DJ career that has strayed from the traditional "club" spaces. Imagine a girl that grew up buying her first DnB & FL Breaks vinyls in late 90's Atlanta GA then going on to join one of the most chaotic drag families of the east coast while also paying bills as a wedding dj in the coastal region of Georgia. If you can conjure this crowd-pleasing combination then you have a clue: not much point in going into a C Powers set with expectations.

Cecilia has been heavily active in anti-displacement organizing. When she moved to LA in 2019, she joined the Los Angeles Tenants Union, helping working class and undocumented families organize against unethical landlords and gentrification in North Hollywood. Upon moving to Portland a year later, she became a co-founding member of Don’t Evict Portland, a tenant-lead organization that is working to build tenant power and delay, reduce, or eliminate the harm and violence of evictions. Cecilia's work in organizing blends into her work as an electronic musician and DJ. The experiences she's had behind the decks and in organizing spaces have begun to meld lately in the series of events called Trainwreck. These events are solidarity-fundraising shows that aim to put as close to 100% of proceeds directly into the hands of tenants working with Dont Evict Portland to combat displacement and the expenses thereof. Cecilia has also explored bringing music into the organizing space and weaponizing audio for disruption. In turn, this work is informing her audio production, bringing the theme and energy of collective action into her music production and collaborations.

Organic Analogue Transmission 35 With Linnley & No Data Available [01.08.2023]

Here is a mix recorded live at home while I was thinking of how cool it must be to travel alone and slowly all the way to Penumbra club for example... Maybe just flying easily over the ground like in a dream. It is a kind of warm up for the morning if you want to do some party at noon time. I hope it is deep enough to transport some mind over its own shadow, embracing life's full contrast. A text that could be read as an introduction would be Nietzsche, Human Too Human, §638, The Wanderer.
Here is the original podcast : https://baihui.live/shows/penumbra-radio-w-vague-imaginaires-23-10-01/en/
Thanks a lot to Penumbra for hosting me !
