With a challenging near-manifesto spanning geology and complex racial dynamics underpinning her latest works, let’s just say Elysia Crampton isn’t short of artistic ambition. But to place focus entirely on the surrounding concept doesn’t do her justice: newly released debut full-length American Drift stands on its own, a mind-blowing, near transcendent masterpiece blending Latin cumbia, Bolivian saya, tribalistic crunk and a healthy dose of DatPiff-worthy mixtape narration. After years of crafting sample-dependent (though no less incredible) sonic mosaics under the E+E moniker, she’s finally come into her own, and we’re reaping the benefits. — soundcloud.com/eande

Where The Wild Things Are

Wild Guide to Packing Packing can be a huge drag, regardless of how exciting the destination may be. It’s a tedious task that generally requires careful consideration. Generally. We talked to three attendees from last year’s WTWTA who know how to pack in some fun. For instance, Teun brought some chocolate milk because he still had it at home. Sonia packed mandarins because, if you ask her, it’s always mandarijntje time. And if you have some bread lying around the house, Karlijn advises you bring it for the ducks of Center Parcs. Other than that, pancake mix, paprika chips and swimming gear to distract you when you’re hungover. As for friends, bring them or get some while you’re there. They’re available everywhere, says Sonia. And for the visual learners among you, we asked digital illustrator Max de Waard to use his mad skills for the good and help you visualise. Get packing. 08

Interview

Junior Boys

Skype interview by Callum McLean Photos shot by Tom Weatherill in London, UK

Interview Don’t be misled by the name: Junior Boys are by now arch-statesmen of the Noughties’ synth revival, not to mention vanguards of the recent wave of experimental R&B that they prefigured a decade ago. 2004’s Last Exit and 2006’s So This is Goodbye still sound as softly radical as ever, and so does their creator, Jeremy Greenspan. On the eve of releasing their first record in five years, we talk disco melancholia, smalltown stories and new beginnings. You’ve spoken before about something you call ‘soft sadness’? I don’t respond to music that is overwrought emotionally. I prefer music with a kind of subtle sadness or happiness to it, which I find more meaningful. For example, Prefab Sprout. I think that’s more accurate in describing emotional states. Something like you might get from a disco record? Yeah, absolutely. There’s this mixture of emotions with disco that I find incredible where you have this [feeling of] release but at the same time it always sounds apocalyptic to me: dancing while the world is ending. I like that a lot – that’s why a lot of the time I tend to veer away from things that are super confrontational, because those emotional states aren’t subtle enough.

Junior Boys A lot of your records had pretty strong concepts behind them – your attempt at ‘synth crooning’, a tribute to animator Norman McLaren… They’re usually ideas at the time [of recording]. But they’re useful to me at the same time as they probably aren’t for other people! That’s a weird line that you have to draw when you’re making music: the way you see an album isn’t necessarily the way others do. And you’re probably not going to be able to communicate what you want to. Was there a similarly big concept behind your new album, Big Black Coat? No, and that’s made it different. In fact, I could see what the lyrics were about only after the fact. The label asked me to write them all out – which I’d never done before – and it was only then that I realised they were all kind of about the same thing: lonely people in Hamilton [Canada] who are confused emotionally, who are lashing out a bit, slightly misogynistic. That was in virtually every song, and I realised that was the theme of the record. I wanted the lyrics to sound almost naive in a way – that’s why I use the word ‘baby’ over and over again. Like I was talking in a real voice, not in a lyrical way. Which is funny because your voice on the album is at least as modulated as ever. I like doing that, especially because it divorced me from [my voice]. When you’re listening to your own voice and you’ve heard it for a lot of years mixing something, you start to know it pretty well. I was inspired to break away from people’s expectations as well as my own. People associated my voice with the band, so it was a nice way for me to say, ‘I can do whatever I want.’ It’s interesting because your voice has that weird anonymity, again like

Interview

Junior Boys

‘I prefer music with a kind of subtle sadness or happiness to it’ disco and all those one-time session singers whose stories you never really heard. Yeah, I like that. And also the idea of people hearing that and being surprised that it’s Junior Boys, it being unfamiliar. Well, it’s also been a long time since your last record. There were points where it seemed unlikely you would release another full-length. How did it come together eventually? At the end of writing the last record I started writing stuff with Jessy Lanza. When her album did as well as it did it gave me a huge jolt in confidence – which is much more important than people often think or like to say: when people like what you do, it gives you the energy to go out and do more of it! I felt like there was a new life in me as a producer. As a matter of fact, we did almost a whole Junior Boys record before. It just wasn’t going well at all. My heart wasn’t in it, it was Junior Boys by numbers. Then after Jessy’s album was done we just decided to scrap all of that and go with this new energy that I had instead, and make a new record. And that’s what we did! The kind of glacial, electronic R&B experimentation you were doing in 2003 is now fairly commonplace. Are you due some credit? I don’t know, we were definitely doing that kind of thing. I don’t presume that these people know who we are, were fans or listened to us then. But when we first started I really felt like there was nothing much like it. That

Junior Boys

‘...nowadays it’s quite acceptable for people like me to be into R&B’ was really exciting. Whereas nowadays it’s quite acceptable for people like me to be into R&B, it’s the norm. I think that’s good because any time people aren’t trying to make new rock music, I’m excited about that! There was a period when it felt like all the great promise of dance music, to bring about a kind of cultural revolution in music, was lost because of the rise of indie rock. So anything that makes that go away I think of as being a positive thing. It’s certainly much harder to date your early records than a lot of the more explicitly ’80s revivalist synth bands that appeared at the same time. Well, the music tradition that I hope we’re part of is this kind of outsider pop music. One of the reasons why I live in this unknown town in Canada is a fear of infecting myself too much with the zeitgeist, you know? I listen to all sorts of new music but I’m not part of any kind of community of new musicians. I just take what I want and do what I want, and hopefully it sounds like it comes from a nowhere place. So I hope for that reason it doesn’t sound part of some kind of movement that has come and gone.

Junior Boys play Action Factory at 20.00 on Friday, 04 March.

Interview

Larry Gus Performing under the moniker Larry Gus, Greek artist Panagiotis Melidis is in many ways a revelation. He confounds and converts wherever he goes. For one, his music is an obsessive project that sources a ridiculous number of samples, with grooves of African influence and heavily layered vocals, referencing nothing, pointing at no one. In person, he’s a hot mess of anxiety, cynicism and self-deprecation, quoting Woody Allen left and right, and probably channelling Larry David in his day-to-day life. But if you haven’t seen him live, you haven’t lived. On stage, he exudes an unbridled energy that is known to induce momentary mass hysteria.

Interview There’s a lot going on in Greece lately, does any of it filter into your music? I can talk about politics all the time, but when it comes to my music, it’s mostly about my personal failures. At this point I use music as an escape, I do feel bad about that. You’d like to be more selfless? Yes, but of course that’s really hard, I have all these things to fight. When it’s about my music, it’s all about my insecurity, feeling humiliated and intimidated. Then I can also feel extreme admiration and extreme jealousy for other musicians. Ideally, I’d like a dominatrix to kick my ass every day. Aren’t Greek mothers pretty kickass? Well, I try to persuade my wife. It’s not easy, but I try. As for my mother, in Greece children get this huge amount of love. Most of my generation is so used to this love, but at the same time despises it. It’s this weird and unhealthy balance. But your music is very, very groovy. Thank you. I don’t know, but about my wife. She’s like an amazon. She’s the man of the house, in all aspects. Literally, she’s amazing. Even when it comes to political actions, she’s much more opinionated and does stuff to be part of the solution. I’m always more hesitant. Do you mind when people call you weird? No, not at all. I’m just extremely bad, but still it’s something different. To

Larry Gus

‘I still google myself every fucking day’ 25

Interview paraphrase Woody Allen: ‘If I have to listen to people telling me I’m good, I have to listen to them telling me I’m really bad.’ Yeah, this’ll never happen for me. I still google myself every fucking day. All these distractions... It’s amazing that in a thousand years we’ll just use our brains for different things, ’cause we won’t have any memories. Memories suck. We tend to remember different things and get sad about them. Yes, let’s talk memories! You use all these samples that have references throughout the history of music, so to speak, but your previous record, Years Not Living, doesn’t sound like a nostalgic album. I have so many samples, pre-existing and also made by me. I really like the temporality of it. You get these references, like, ‘Oh, this is a ’70s drum sound’, but on top of the other it sounds like nothing really. Ideally I like it like this. People like Holly Herndon have a strict view on how their music addresses the actual present. For me, I’m a nostalgic person, I try to get all these memories to make it sound weird and somehow not refer to anything. Most of the time I fail miserably. And then comes the jealousy? Yes – extreme jealousy, and bitterness. It comes from a good place though, because they are so amazing and I admire them. It’s weird, because we all have the same set of tools, resources, spend the same time at it and we live in the same age, but somehow it’s never enough and I will never achieve this level of greatness. You can only hope that people will be affected by what you’re doing. Some people are confident or just don’t care, for me the weight and the vastness of greatness is oppressive.

Larry Gus

What if you were to face this together with someone else? I tried. I had this band with this other guy, but it didn’t last. Since then I can’t trust anyone, at least not for the core. I want to change that, but you know these trust issues reappear. Like a love relationship? Oh, they always betray you. [Laughs] If you can always be happy while working, nobody can take that away from you. This will all end, and this will end badly, so hopefully you can still have the happiness and creativity when you’re working alone, like working for five hours, then stopping to go to the toilet, to masturbate, to eat something. You’ll be happy with just that. Larry Gus plays Action Factory at 23.45 on Saturday, 05 March.

Petite Noir by Kent Andreasen

Where The Wild Things Are

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a while since we last laid eyes on musical chameleon Yannick Ilunga, aka Petite Noir. Though never one to easily blend into the pop music landscape, the South African producer has an undeniable capacity to reflect and internalise eclectic influences, combining post-punk and African musical traditions into a rare yet distinctly recognisable disguise, his very own genre â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Noirwave. Here are some glorious shots captured by photographer Kent Andreasen in Cape Town. Feel the warmth wash over you. 29

Interview

Iguana Death Cult It’s hard not to take note of Rotterdam’s psychgarage rock act Iguana Death Cult. Whether you’re describing their music or the band members, it’s safe to say they’re of the impulsive, hyperactive type. They’re a crowd-pleasing band who love to see the audience go nuts. They blare fuzzed-up surf beats and release their energy at full force. Suspecting they have some wild stories to share, we met up with frontman Jeroen Reek to talk about driving around in a fire truck, the feat of finding Sahara sand in The Hague and what it takes to join the Cult. Interview by Maija Jussila Photos shot by Eva Reinalda in Rotterdam, Netherlands

Interview

Iguana Death Cult What did you do last night? I went to see my grandmother and played cards, Rummikub. I was in the village where my parents live, it’s a really small village of about 3,000 people. Is that it? An easygoing evening. Well, I also visited two friends yesterday and drank some whiskey, played some music and then I went on a nightly walk, out in the countryside. It was really dark and quiet, really relaxing. Word has it you have a fire truck. Why? Why? Well, four reasons. One of them is that it’s big: we can transport all our stuff in it. It has eight seats in it so we can bring along a lot of friends if we want to. It looks cool. Another big reason was that it was almost brand new. It’s an ’81 model, but it was a fire truck from a volunteer fire squad in a small village in Germany, so it was always inside and only had 25,000 kilometres on the clock. It was almost brand new. That’s only two reasons, but it’s pretty cool. How did you get it? Through Marktplaats, just looking for vans and then I saw the fire truck and kind of fell in love, I thought, ‘That’s so cool.’ That’s pretty wild. Yeah, it is. We’ve also had some parties in the truck. What’s been the best party so far? The best party was Halloween because we had three shows all over the

Iguana Death Cult

‘Only Tobias remained sober but the rest, well, we had a nice party’ country. The first one was Oss, then Arnhem and then in The Hague at 3am. We were dressed as pretty slutty women. We took some friends who were also dressed up. Only Tobias remained sober but the rest, well, we had a nice party because we spent eight hours on the road that day between shows. It started in Oss and got wilder and wilder. We were playing good music in the truck and dancing. How did it end? We ended up in The Hague playing our last show at 4am, very, very wasted. I don’t know if I should go into details, maybe it’s not the best idea. Could you still put out a fire with your fire truck? No, you can’t stop a fire with it but we do have sirens and lights that work. Is that where you got the title ‘Sirens’? No! I didn’t even realise that until my father said it. He said, ‘You bought this fire truck just because of the song’ because we got it just before the single release. But the song ‘Sirens’ is about the Greek sirens, the mermaids. Now it has unintentional double meaning. You recorded that in Henk Koorn’s (of Hallo Venray) Sahara Studio in The Hague. How’s the studio? It’s really small, it’s got no room. It looks like a bunker or a squat build-

Iguana Death Cult

Interview

Iguana Death Cult ing. It’s really messy, it smells humid – it is humid – but it has a really nice atmosphere to it, especially for us because we started with rehearsing in an old gunpowder store when we started the band. That was a good place to rehearse because the walls were two metres thick, so it felt kind of familiar. We spent two days in the studio recording the single and one day chilling and mixing. It’s pretty cool though, he calls it the Sahara Studio because he isolated it with sand from the Sahara. It’s this big sea container they use on ships, and around that there’s all that sand. Wow – how’d he bring all that sand from the Sahara? I don’t know. That’s a pretty good question. So I’m curious. What’s an Iguana Death Cult? It kind of came unconsciously, it popped into my mind, but I’ve been thinking about it, and maybe it has to do with the fact that we’re all big fans of Iggy Pop. His first band was called The Iguanas, maybe that was somewhere in my head. I was really obsessed with cults at the time, like Jonestown, so I just thought it sounded cool. Who would belong to the Iguana Death Cult? Completely free people who can shake themselves loose from any judgement and can do whatever they want and like while they don’t care about what other people think – people who are driven by their instinct, mostly. I like that. Costume design by Noor Mulders. Iguana Death Cult play the L.A.N. stage in the Cyclecentre at 02.30 on Friday, 04 March.

The Holydrug Couple

Food Questions by Roxy Merrell. Photo by Lonneke van der Palen

We talked food, glorious food with Chilean psychedelic rock band The Holydrug Couple Are you more of a take-out or a home-cooked kind of person? I think it depends on the situation, but currently I’m more of an ‘I know just the place’ kinda person. It’s summer here in Chile so I prefer to go to places with rooftops or terraces. What can you cook up with no budget? I like spaghetti with eggs, kinda scrambled. Steal salmon and capers at the supermarket? Brie cheese with black bread, also stolen. Mussels with mayo and crackers? Also stolen, ha-ha. Speaking of food and survival, how would you get by if you found yourself stranded on a desert island? I’d put my efforts towards fishing. It would be paradise if I made it eating raw fish every day. If I were to find some coconuts or any fruit, that would be perfect. Better than any fancy organic supermarket… everything would be free. Also,

I heard that you can lick stones covered in moss. I know about some non-poisonous stuff as I go camping often. I can also make a good bonfire. Describe a world made up entirely of ultimate cravings. I think it should be a world full of fresh seafood, red tuna, orange salmon, mussels, clams, sea urchin, etc. I’d add a ton of lemon juice and that’s it. Let’s say ‘The Holydrug Couple’ was a recipe. What’s in it? It should be more liquid than solid, fresh rather than cooked, cold rather than warm. Maybe it could be a dessert, some kind of acidic panna cotta, orange or lemon. Crispy chocolate leafs, toasted hazelnuts. Everything in a milky sauce made of blueberries or something like that. Feeling hungry? Hit the restaurants on the Market Square or check out the HOTMAMAMAHOT crew in the Willem Ruis Tent. The Holydrug Couple play the Desperados stage at 19.00 on Sunday, 06 March.

Dollkraut

Film Questions by Basje Boer. Photo by Lonneke van der Palen

We talked to Dutch electronic producer Dollkraut about his cinema obsession Which movie made a big impression on you as a kid? And did its soundtrack have something to do with it? That would be You Only Live Twice. You see the most crazy decors, like a rocket launch station inside a volcano. Imagine that. Combine this with the sounds of John Barry and another childhood dream is fulfilled. Is a good soundtrack one that can exist separately from the movie, or one that complements the movie so perfectly that you can’t separate the two? I think a bit of both. You almost can’t listen to Barry’s Goldfinger soundtrack without seeing visions of Sean Connery driving that Aston Martin DB5. ‘70s cinema was a wild ride: from freewheeling New Hollywood to the cheap and fast eurotrash of Italy. Is this a decade that speaks to you? For me it was the eurotrash from

Europe that made the ‘70s. I just can’t get enough of those Alfa Romeos chasing each other. Are you easily charmed by the scores of badly-made B-movies? Yes, the worse they are the better. It’s past midnight. You’re practically alone on the highway, racing towards the speed limit. The lights are flashing by ever so fast, the wind is in your hair, etc. What soundtrack is playing at top volume? I actually never drive that fast but I think it would be the Goodbye & Amen OST by Guido & Maurizio de Angelis. If your life were a movie, what would the theme song sound like? It would be something with a badly tuned dusty organ playing a melody that sticks in your head for ever. In the mood for a film? Check out the Melkweg film programme at Action Factory Cinema. Dollkraut plays the Desperados stage at 23.30 on Friday, 04 March.

Includes festival map and schedule

Music programme

Friday, 04 March Dollkraut Not all electronic music comes with a slick, ice-cold sheen as standard. Pascal Pinkert has gone in the opposite direction; known as something of an analogue sound wizard, his music has a warm, organic sound – some of his tracks virtually glow – inspired by lo-fi ‘70s albums and old film scores.

An/Of Behind DJ duo An/Of are none other than Anna Veenstra from Melkweg and Ofra Beenen from Hollywood & Vine. Their sets are an intoxicating blend of indie, wave, punk, and alternative, with little discrimination between old and new releases. Balthazar

Fresku

To the wider world, Belgium might only be famous for waffles, Tintin and Jean-Claude Van Damme, but it also has a thriving, creative music scene. Exhibit A: Balthazar, whose quirky, bittersweet indie manages to walk the line between charming and inventive; the perfect soundtrack to a sunny spring day in the countryside, then.

Hip hop has its origins in the struggle for equality and social justice, two subjects that are clearly dear to Roy Michael Reymound’s heart. As Fresku, his rapping alter ego, he’s won plaudits and praise for his brutally honest word play and sparse beats over three hard-hitting albums.

DJ Juju Subbacultcha darling and ultimate party starter, DJ Juju has made many a crowds go wild with her surprising and effervescent mixes. She doesn’t take her cues from genres or charts, but you know she always brings the fun no matter the context.

Gold Panda Famed for his cut’n’paste approach to sampling, Gold Panda’s swirling, danceable techno and homespun

Music programme. Friday Iguana Death Cult Iguana Death Cult might be a nascent band, but they’ve already made plenty of, ahem, noise. Dealing in fuzzed-out, reverb-soaked rock’n’roll, and full of youthful exuberance, their explosive set at last year’s Mini Le Guess Who? proved that they’re ready to step up and fulfil their potential; international recognition can’t be far away.

electronica have a heart of pure joy; a mix of warm nostalgia and clever appropriation meaning everything sounds familiar yet new. It might not be the most pounding dance-floor music, but what it lacks in low end it makes up for with smarts and charm. Haevn

Jarryd James A soft falsetto, infectious R&B grooves, ice-cold production: Jarryd James makes very modern pop that’s propelled him to superstardom in his native Australia. And it’s easy to see why; get lost in his warm, languid vocals and let his music wrap around your brain, and you’re hooked.

There’s been a glut of PBR&B these last few years – some good, some bad. Dutch duo HAEVN have aimed their downtempo melancholia straight for the heart of the former and come up trumps; hauntingly sparse and affecting, their songs glisten like a shaft of sunlight on arctic ice.

Junior Boys It’s not easy writing about love and sex and sounding utterly emotionless, but the super cool electro-pop of Canadian duo Junior Boys pretty much nails it. Sounding like it was beamed back from some future, sleazy dystopian disco, their deliriously dense, slick synth-pop hits places other bands just can’t reach.

Hallo Venray Dutch indie royalty, Hallo Venray are enjoying something of an Indian Summer. After re-releasing 2005’s Vegetables & Fruit – surely one of the most underappreciated albums ever – they’re finally getting the recognition their inventive songwriting and beautifully sweet indie deserves. Better late than never, I guess.

King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard That mouthful of a moniker is one thing; the high-velocity racket that this Australian seven-piece specializes in is quite another. Throwing beat-pop, the blues, harmonica, batshit vocals and two drummers at

the wall, it’s surprising just how much sticks. A wild, fast-paced ride it may be, but like all the best, it leaves you wanting for more immediately.

The Homesick

Pumarosa They may not have released many songs yet, but Pumarosa still manage to quicken the pulse. The London five-piece pull in elements of new wave and goth, as well as super swoonsome disco and dance; ‘industrial spiritual meditation’, they call it. No wonder they were such a smash at last year’s London Calling. Sjamsoedin (DJ set)

Slackers of the world unite! Scuzzy, fuzzy, homemade lo-fi indie that sounds like it was recorded inside a tin can. The cheapest possible video effects over a montage recorded on a battered, old-school handycam. The Homesick are decidedly retro, but like your favourite blanket, they’re so warm and comforting that all sins are forgiven. Weval (live) Another party duo with a well-deserved reputation for excellence. There’s some serious respect for dancefloor dynamics and low end in Weval’s dark’n’dirty mix of techno, house and brittle trip hop; building slowly but determinedly, their mixes burrow right inside your brain and send jolts of electricity through your limbs, before cresting in waves of pure sonic bliss.

You might have heard of notable electro act Nobody Beats the Drum. Well, Sjam Sjamoedin decided to strike out on his own and play with some modular synths, releasing mu-

Saturday, 05 March Admiral Freebee It might say ‘Belgian’ on Tom van Laere’s passport, but listen to his rootsy Americana and folk-tinged rock, and it’s clear his heart belongs to somewhere around the Midwest USA. Soft melodies and bittersweet tales of the Ordinary Man fill his honest, soul-bearing songs with an authenticity that’s all too rare these days.

worldly, and if you haven’t experienced the joy this type of music can bring, then I suggest you rectify that post-haste. Dan Deacon The one thing you can expect from a Dan Deacon show is the unexpected, the Mad Hatter of experimental electronic and indie music. Over 12 years and eight albums the Baltimore resident has refined his eclectic music into strange, warm swirls of goodness that delight and surprise in equal measure and demand audience participation.

De Jeugd van Tegenwoordig ‘It’s not where you take things from, it’s where you take them to.’ Wise words, and when you’re borrowing from the likes of Pavement and Dinosaur Jr, and playing fast and loose with good-time garage rock – as Canshaker Pi are – it’s hard not to arrive at a glorious, ramshackle stomp that’s as madcap as it is fun.

There’s something decidedly retro about De Jeugd Van Tegenwoordig’s ’80s-tinged electro-pop, but it’s not just an exercise in brazen retromania; there’s a deep love and knowing wink behind their fuzzy nostalgia, marking them out as canny pop archaeologists in thrall to one of music’s most underappreciated eras.

Dandana (live) A seductive slice of Eastern Promise, Dandana conjure sultry pop with a distinctly Arabian and North African flavour; part chaabi, part traditional folk music, 100% beguiling. The beats are as infectious as they are other-

Music programme. Saturday Fat White Family A spitting, frothing mess of a band, this London six-piece are the natural heirs to the likes of the Sex Pistols. As confrontational as you’d imagine a group with songs called ‘Bomb Disneyland’ on an album titled Champagne Holocaust to be, their madcap live show is as infamous as it is thrilling. Nudity and violence are just part of the package.

styles’n’sounds à la 2ManyDJ’s and throwing down track after track of dancefloor goodness. Larry Gus What’s Greek producer Panagiotis Melidis cooking? A piping hot stew of Afrobeat and hip hop, with more than a pinch of psychedelic pop thrown in for good measure. He may borrow most of his ingredients from the kitchens of others, but his woozy mishmash of influences has a flavour that’s unquestionably all his own.

Gallant

My Baby The Shamans are real and they’re beaming something back from a mystical realm unbeknownst to mere mortals. Fuzz-heavy blues grooves and licks, gospel and funk; an Unholy Trinity that in the hands of My Baby – especially mesmeric, golden-throated singer Cato van Dyck – is enough to tempt anyone to the dark side.

Chris Gallant is blessed with a voice for the ages. That much is obvious within just a few seconds of his breakthrough track, ‘Weight In Gold’; combining some classic soul with flashes of old-school jazz, it’s nonetheless a sound that’s utterly now. Big things – to match those pipes – surely beckon.

Petite Noir Dark and sultry is how South African Yannick Ilunga likes to paint with sound, as his debut album as Petite Noir aptly demonstrated. He’s coined his own genre ‘Noir Wave’. Mixing shuffling African beats with a postpunk sensibility has proven a fertile ground for his biting social commentary. Life Is Beautiful indeed.

Joe The Ripper ft. Joost van Bellen & Riptide Throw your hands in the motherfucking air! Sometimes, you want a DJ to just take you higher and push the party into overdrive; well, duo Joe The Ripper – that is, Joost van Bellen and Riptide – are capable of doing exactly that, mashing up

knack of pulling the right record out of his bag at exactly the right moment, something anyone who’s witnessed his weekly Thursday slot at TivoliVredenburg can attest to.

White

The Jacques Ah, l’enthousiasme de la jeunesse! These two young sets of frères d’armes have already cut a swathe across the cluttered indie-rock landscape thanks to hook-laden, three-minute salvos of righteous noise; no mean feat considering they’ve only been together 18 months. Ones for the future then, but also for the here and now. The Magic Gang

‘Music to make girls dance’ is how Alex Kapranos once summed up Franz Ferdinand’s objective, and fellow Glaswegians White clearly harbour similar ambitions; mixing glam, funk, pop, jazz and indie into a bubbling mass, their music is equally as brilliant heard on the dancefloor or through headphones, though live is where they thrive best.

Maybe it’s all that sea air and the unfettered sense of freedom, but Brighton has long been a breeding ground for musical talent. Like The Magic Gang, four lads who have zeroed in on a ‘very direct, very sexy, very good’ take on R&B-inspired indie pop, and are famed for their riotous live shows.

Whitney The breezy lo-fi indie of Whitney is fairly easy to trace; Julian Ehrlich and Max Kakacek were in Smith Westerns and Unknown Mortal Orchestra respectively. But there’s still a carefree joy to first single ‘No Matter Where We Go’ that suggests they’ve got the chops to stand out in a crowded scene.

Woody Another DJ scheduled to appear on the PIP Biker stage, Woody’s music

Music programme

Sunday, 07 March Baio Fans of quirky, leftfield indie pop will no doubt know all about Vampire Weekend; though everyone else might not know that the band’s bassist Chris Baio, restless between albums, released his own record last year. Every bit as charming and intriguing as his more famous band, it melds Bowie and Ferry pop to sunkissed arena house, a killer combination for festival weekends.

nadians Tom Howie and Jimmy Vallance deal in smoky, end-of-thesession house, the sort of intimate dance music heard in backrooms and whisky bars before the faithful shuffle off to indulge in darker pleasures and await the dawn. Clean Pete

Birth of Joy

It’s a sunny summer day, late afternoon, and you’re walking through fields of barely. This is the image conjured by the bucolic, pastoral folk of the Wijnhoven twins, Loes and Renee. Endlessly beautiful, their delicate acoustic songs evoke happy times and a carefree existence; escape never sounded so tempting.

Watch out, because Birth of Joy are a barrelling, out-of-control freight train of pure rock’n’roll. Sounding like an angrier Doors if Jim Morrison and co had grown up listening to Led Zeppelin, they’ve got the riffs and the keys; what they also have in spades is the youthful swagger to pull it all off.

Death Alley Any band with ‘Death’ in their name have an obligation to dress in all black. Do Death Alley? No idea. But the raging speedstorm they unleash marks them out as rockers not to be fucked with, colourful or not. Carrying the torch for hard rock is what they do, and do oh-so-well.

Music programme. Sunday De Staat You can jazz up rock however you want; add some jazz, bit of rap – hell, even stick a marching synth line in there somewhere. But to pull it all off and not sound stupid takes some talent. Luckily, De Staat seem to have plenty, and seem to be getting better and better after each and every gig.

Indian Askin You gotta love the scruffy charm of Indian Askin. Their songs sound like they were recorded in one take between trips to the off-licence and naps under the drum kit, but sometimes sloppy can be good, you know? And if you’re a sucker for shambling nu-punk grooves, then you’ve come to the right place.

Diep In de Groef EKKO’s trusted DJ team runs a pretty damn inclusive dancefloor, embracing indie, hip hop and electronica alike, and leaving no one sitting on the sides. You can’t escape the groove.

JOEP BEVING A pianist following in the footsteps of Nils Frahm and Ólafur Arnalds, Dutch composer Joep Beving writes haunting, sparse music that lingers in the air and touches your very soul; not for nothing has his unheralded debut album, Solipsism, been streamed over seven million times. Intimate and dreamy, this will be a moment of Zen amid the madness.

Hunee

KLYNE

Sometimes it’s tempting to ask the DJ, ‘Why so serious?’ That’s a question that surely no one will ever require Goldcrest Hunee to answer; mixing funk, disco, afrobeat and tropicalia into swirls of golden goodness, he brings more than a little humour and light relief to proceedings. After all, a party is supposed to be fun, right?

Another band who wowed at Eurosonic, Klyne may be relatively new, but on the strength of their two recent EPs, they won’t stay off the radar for long. Exotic beats and shimmering synths underpin their uber-trendy take on modern electronic pop; this is the sound of the

Music programme. Friday

Music programme. Sunday Son Mieux There’s an earnest quality to singer songwriter Camiel Meiresonne’s simple yet elegant songs. Like an upbeat Luke Sital Singh, he’s breathing life back into a genre that was looking a little tired around the edges, and proving that honest, baring-of-thesoul music can still be captivating in the modern age.

future, and Klyne are here to make it theirs. Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats Nathaniel Rateliff has had a somewhat meteoric rise from unsigned folker to Stax artist, carried on the wave of his romping bar-room blues, swing and homely country soul. His music is a throwback to a golden era of Tin Pan Alley hits, horns’n’strings and rough, whisky-voiced troubadours with tales of life, love and loss.

The Holydrug Couple Sacred Bones have long championed the weird and wonderful, and The Holydrug Couple are no exception. So chilled out they’re practically horizontal, there’s a lush, ‘60s psychedelic vibe running through their music that’s part Tame Impala in its wooziness, part Serge Gainsbourg in its insouciance – and 100% addictive.

Seinabo Sey

Young Marco

The best music often comes about from unlikely unions between disparate styles and musicians. Case in point, Swedish-Gambian soul queen Seinabo Sey and Norwegian tropical house producer Kygo. An odd mix that works beautifully, her phenomenal voice sits amid modern, europop beats and slick production. A marriage made in heaven.

Young Marco sounds like the protagonist of some lame, sub-Austen BBC period drama. But he’s not; regulars of the late Trouw will know him as a spectacularly capable DJ who speeds between proto-electronica, experimental house and all sorts of oddities in between. It’ll be a hell of a ride people, so buckle up and get ready.
