Italorator Special w/ Kimmah - 30th December 2024

Kaarst, is a Filipino-British sound artist and DJ currently based in Delft, NL. His club sets are characterized by the enigmatic sounds of bass music that resonate through the UK underground. His performances feature low-end influences from 140, grime, halfstep, techno, and UK funky, layered with rhythms and grooves that border on the menacing.

Outside of the club, Kaarst is interested in concepts of listening and what music garners this attention, creating mixes that consist of some of his own and others’ field recordings, ambient music, jazz and experimental electronic music.

This set is a showcase of the diverse and rich influences that shape Kaarst's unique sound. Expect a dynamic blend of deep basslines, intricate rhythms, and immersive textures that capture the essence of UK underground bass music.

Scattered Waves is a cross-continental platform amplifying East and Southeast Asian voices in electronic music—both across Asia and throughout its global diaspora. Founded in Rotterdam by Vietnamese DJ, producer, and curator Kimmah, the project is based between the Netherlands and Vietnam, building sonic and cultural bridges between communities historically scattered across oceans and borders. 

Rooted in a diasporic narrative, the name Scattered Waves draws from the South China Sea, whose waves scattered Vietnamese communities across the world. These waters symbolize both the rupture of displacement and the persistence of cultural memory. Scattered Waves channels that legacy into a space for exchange and connection through music. 

The platform hosts club nights with all-Asian lineups across Europe and Asia, including a flagship Lunar New Year event in the Netherlands. It also organizes intimate listening sessions focused on ambient, experimental, and leftfield music by Asian artists, runs a record label dedicated to new sounds from East and Southeast Asia, and airs a monthly radio show on Operator Radio in Rotterdam highlighting voices from the Asian diaspora and beyond.
