Tonight's DJ session hosts the versatile Dutch artist Matthijs van der Geest, for whom entry points into the world of music were genres such as funk, punk and death metal. Under the alias Whrikk, he first appeared live on the electronic scene as a producer and DJ of dark psy trance around 2008. In recent years, the WHRK project has been leaning towards techno, IDM, acid and more modern braindance and breakbeat. marked by characteristic syncopated rhythms.

Matthijs's expressive style is also fueled by the comic book world of bizarre creatures and science fiction, which has been an indispensable source of inspiration for his musical and visual artistic opus since childhood. Nevertheless, it is impossible to fully define it, as it confronts us with the unexpected with every creation. Let us also emphasize that the majority of his music is created with modular and analog synthesizers, which for the musician actually represent a kind of living entity with which he explores the saturated sound universe in a playful way with various possibilities.

In short, his music embodies light and darkness, is obscure, sensitive and above all - playful. It's time to listen to the exclusive set he prepared for Radio Student.
