248 @ Operator Radio

@komoost and @rayarecordings resident Verity hosts 248 at Operator Radio; a show all about highlighting the careers and achievements of female djs. The first guest, Freya (aka Airfreya, Freya Ferrari), teamed up with Verity to curate a playlist true to each of their sounds and discuss music, life, and inspirations.

248 w/ Verity & Freya @ Operator Radio - 13th July 2022

Beautiful blends of half speed, wobbles & sublime sounds from young n fresh local Nak ( @isabel-nak ). Having only DJ'd for the last year, Isabel's skills suggest otherwise -- this mix showing off her pure class taste.

Deep broken beats, IDM & bass influenced chuggers are the theme here, however in her DJ sets she has been known to explore tasteful prog, fast and  higher energy rollers. Looking forward to watch Nak grow and flourish in the Naarm scene over the next while :) 

Thanks again for the mix Isabel!

deep creep | Kiosk x The Lot Radio x Horst Festival 2024

Embodying the wave of fresh ideas and distinctive musicianship emerging from
South Asia, Sijya’s artistic voice is a gradual rebellion against preconceived
notions of approach, forms and styles led by her ability to strike a balance
between the known and the outlier.
With records that showcase a defining commitment to originality without losing
upon emotionality and live shows that create the most immersive atmospheres,

the New Delhi artist has emerged as one of the most hotly-tipped up-and-
coming talents from the region’s alternative music space.

As a composer, producer and designer, the multi-faceted talent lays down
textural abstractions of her inner monologue onto musical and visual canvases
alike to deliver the most well-rounded artistic offerings. Dreamy untamed
synth layers and raw rhythms come together with emotion-led vocal lines
creating a concoction of art pop, downtempo and ambient discoverable through
her debut single ‘Have To Make My Bed’ as part of boxout.fm’s compilation
‘SUCHI SELECTS’ and her debut EP ‘Young Hate’.
Released via British music royalty Matthew Herbert’s Accidental Records, an
institution known for launching artists with an independent-minded approach,
‘Young Hate’ and their respective music videos showcase Sijya’s creative
stamp as a music and visual artist at its most synchronous and far-ranging.
The 6-track release has received support from notable outlets such as BBC
6Music, Crack Magazine, Kaltblut, NOWNESS, Mixmag, DJ Mag, Feel My Bicep,
NTS, Rolling Stone India, The Wild City, A Humming Heart, Indulge Express
and Rinse.FM while Sijya has since been championed by the likes of Four Tet,
Machinewoman, Openlab, NARR Radio and more. The release has also been
celebrated through guest remixes with the companion EP ‘Young Love’ and
earned the artist the title of “one to watch” by multiple platforms.
Meanwhile, Sijya has been extending her unique artistry to the live setting –
opening for The Cinematic Orchestra on their India tour, performing on stages
like SAUCE India and Echoes of Earth, delivering a Boiler Room set, creating
a bespoke A/V show at Mumbai’s G5A and touring across the UK to perform
at spaces like Tate Modern, Bristol’s Trinity Center and London’s Servant Jazz
Quarter. The tour also saw her lead workshops for Saffron UK, provide guest
mixes for NTS and Noods Radio, and perform at YES Manchester alongside
Nabihah Iqbal, for whom Sijya would also release a remix via the prominent
label Ninja Tune. All of this within little more than a year of making her live
debut with the coveted opening spot at the 2022 edition of India’s premier
music festival Magnetic Fields.

We Listen w/ Sijya

“It started a few days ago…any speaker you approach starts playing grainy, barely audible dance tunes. Sound bars, bluetooth and car speakers—you tried turning them off, synching and un-synching, unplugging them, and nothing has stopped the music. At first it was easy to brush off, but it’s too frequent to not take it personally. Yesterday you walked back and forth under the grocery store speaker twenty times, and each time you did, the music was there.

Now you’re lying in bed and it's happening again. This time out of your phone speaker. You pick up your phone and a prompt arrives: BEAM ME UP? There are two buttons under the question: “Yes” and “Yes.” After a sigh and a passing moment of fear, you pick a “Yes.”

Like in a movie, everything is suddenly white and you’re floating up. As you rise, the music gets louder and more defined, you’re approaching the source—and then, a moment of clarity: this is a space rave you’ve always hoped for.

You find yourself on a dancefloor in what might be a space station and the vibe is everything you need. The beings you find yourself dancing with, whoever they might be and wherever they might be from, are your community now. They’ve all gathered here to find the same thing you have: a rave utopia you had only dreamt of. “

WITNESS THIS

After a long time, I'm adding another thing from which I tried to work in a variation of deep tech, I also tried other workflows than usual, I wanted to drill the most out of it.. 
The result is quite an interesting thing where I tried to work more on the story and the algorithm 
I added a couple of interesting textures consisting of jungle and deep bass lines and a couple of syntaxes.. Thanks to Follow or Share Peace and Bass

OOST, Operator and Garage Noord resident 
248 w/ Verity at Operator Radio every last Thursday of the month
book me: eleni@phuturewest.com

Verity moves between expressive radiance and elegant introspection. Simply and undeniably in total unison with her music. An unheard equilibrium of dubstep, jungle, experimental club, electro and off-kilter techno reaches boiling point thanks to the next undiscovered spark plug of an anthem. She’ll turn the inward outwards, then upside down, then bent over backwards. Telltale signs of a DJ who has stories to tell–who evokes feelings to feel.

Online community radio station and cultural platform based in Rotterdam.

We broadcast a variety of live shows, from music to science and sports, featuring international DJ's, artists and guest speakers weekly since 2017. We are committed to support emerging talents and to engage the local community and beyond. Our main goal is the overall cultural development through diverse initiatives.
