Below the Surface – Fragile and vulnerable ways of producing powerful electronic music
11:30 – 12:50, de Brakke Grond (Grote Zaal)

In the post-COVID era, demand for hard music grew exponentially, with the 4/4 hard techno boom serving as a prime example of maximalist outwards tension. At the same time, while being forced to go inwards in the lockdown days, other listeners were drawn to a very different continuum: the emergence of a dormant convergence of various music genres: psychedelic electronica, powerful ambient, trip-hop, and glitchy, sub-murged organic (poly)rhythms.

This session is a conversation between music producers and DJs who focus on a form of spiritual energy and the way in which they strike a balance between speed and fragility.
