For the second instalment of our podcast series we have the pleasure of introducing Palatijn. Inspired by the post-war concrete and cold architecture of suburban Maastricht’s appartment buildings, this alias is all about questioning rhythmic convention, going against the practicality that inspired these buildings designs while paying homage to their character. Incessantly moving back and forth between atmospheric, naturalist downtempo recordings and retro-futuristic drum ‘n bass and jungle, the latest podcast reflects on the contrast between Limburg’s meadowy landscapes and the former industrial glory of the larger Liege-Maastricht area with a nod to the ever more implicit Catholic character of the city. Though inscribed with recognisable rhythmic elements, the recording is cognizant of an experimental double entendre; that of the serendipitous intersection between eerie artificial structures and the generative warmth of organic environments.
