+/-, a modern version of the yin/yang symbol, is the title of the debut album by Avé Eva 369. It’s a nine track journey, seen through the eyes of a spirit who has landed on planet earth and makes a labyrinthine trip through its dualistic nature. Worlds of sound arise from subtle electronic textures, transitions and rhythms. Vocals overlay these worlds creating dreamscapes. The songs examine the balance and friction between opposites like heaven/hell or male/female.
Avé Eva 369 embodies archetypical and mythical figures, like Eve (from Adam) and the Greek goddess Aphrodite. It’s as if these Goddesses are channeling their ancient wisdom to the artist as a form of coping with modern life. As the album gradually comes to an end, a balance between opposites is found and a long lost paradise becomes visible.
SAMENVATTING: UITZETTING BIJ JUBILEUM KRAKERSBOLWERK
GENRE: NADER TE BEPALEN
MAKER-FUNCTIE: Reiger, Willem {redactie}
TECHN-GEGEVENS: Materiaal: Kleur
BESCHRIJVING: In Den Haag bestond dit weekeinde het krakersbolwerk het Brullend Breekijzer achttien jaar. De inwonende krakers vierden dit uitgebreid. Misschien hun laatste feestje op dit adres: de eigenaar, de zakenman R. de Meij, wil hen eruit hebben en heeft daarom een bodemprocedure aangespannen.
INTERVIEWS hierover met: M. Vermazen, H. Wyrwa, M. Schuckink, krakers; De Meij.
SHOTS: krakerspand: ext. en int.; div. shots van krakers in het pand, oa in het eigen café; aan het werk of op hun kamers; straatmuziek: rockband treedt op in laadbak van tot podium omgebouwde vrachtauto voor enthousiast krakerspubliek; krakers klimmen op de vrachtauto en rijden ermee naar een koffieshop; De Meij staat hen in de deuropening te woord.
“When hearing this material today and realizing it was originally released in ’96, one can’t fail to acknowledge the timelessness of these sounds – clearly illustrating how ahead of their time these productions were. Ranging from 130 to 145 BPM this EP presents a solid study in synthetic rhythm and percussion layers masterfully juxtaposed with unidentifiable electronic noises and nuances. A trademark sound signature of their own. Unmistakeable Spiral Tribe from a special era in party culture brought back when we need it the most – forward the revolution.”

In a time in which our societal freedom is heavily under discussion, a space for escapism becomes more and more important. Since the dawn of time humans felt the need to immerse into dance rituals where sound and the human body interact. Club culture caters for this need and provides a space where escapism, trance and full body immersion in sound and light relate to technology.
Conflux explores the current state of electronic dance music by inviting a few of the most innovative electronic and techno-driven musicians and local talents who experiment with the boundaries of club culture and dance floor rituals. With these nights Conflux strives to push the limits of the sonic pallet, combining the worlds of nocturnal sound with mind-bending visual experiments.Friday Club Night ticket: 10 euro

The Conflux festival Club Nights are presented in close collaboration with Mechanism.
Mechanism is a Rotterdam based organisation focussing on presenting and releasing adventurous techno driven music. The platform explores the boundaries between forefront audio visual explorations and experimental club culture. Besides organising experimental club nights, the organisation runs the Mechanism record label which releases vanguard electronic music emerging from human machine interactions.
Conflux festival Club Nights is initiated by Klankvorm, supported by Stimuleringsfonds Creatieve Industrie, Mondriaan Fonds, Gemeente Rotterdam and Fonds21, and co-presented by WORM Rotterdam.
Music originally created for Shitcluster’s live performance at Mutabor, Moscow (RU), 14 FEB 2019. Now available on audio cassette.
Beautiful artwork by DJ Neurp, equally beautiful music by Shitcluster. This is the 6th release on Chan’s records, suitable for mono or stereo cassette players. Make sure to clean your heads regularly.
Needs Must is a piece of avant-garde theatre created and performed by Petra van Beuningen and Charlie Watkins. Petra’s theatre talent, recognised in numerous theatrical projects, combines with Charlie’s Shitcluster experience to create a quirky tale of sex and violence spread over 60 minutes. The piece will be performed four times with technical support from Rob Bothof.
Entry is free and seat reservation is not possible. First come, first served basis, with a maximum of 50 visitors per performance. Once visitors are admitted the doors will be closed and the performance will begin and no further admittance will be possible. So please come in plenty of time.

The bar will open after each performance with musical entertainment.
The ‘Untitled EP’ from Spiral Tribe’s brothers in arms Unit Moebius is a crushing exercise in distortion and dread. Opener ‘Summertime’ (spoiler, it’s not exactly Hed Kandi territory) manages to both feel enormous and pulverised into submission. As it progresses, everything is pushed near the point of total collapse. A breakdown of sorts, clanging and metallic, emerges briefly before you’re plunged back into an obliterating tunnel, tapering away to a smudgy bass tone. ‘Millenium’ and ‘Imperator’ are more refined, leaning on doomy, atmospheric synths. ‘C.P.U’ is just madness, building to a squall of borderline atonal noise sitting somewhere on the pleasure/pain axis.
A generous collection of tracks, beautifully representative of the Spiral Tribe world. Coming on strong with “Summertime” a brute force exercise in synthesized rhythm, moving on to trippy dubbed out nuances over medieval bass lines – highly suggestive of time travel. On the flip side things get put back in fast gear with heavy 4 on the floor action propelled by dubbed out hi-hat. Ending with “CPU” which almost sounds like an attempt at shrinking the listener down to the size of an electron traveling inside the circuits of their samplers. Pioneering the distorted dutch techno sounds from The Hague.
“Wandelon is een wandelproject die je mee neemt naar bijzondere plekken in Den Haag. In het eerste seizoen nemen we je mee naar de kraakbeweging van de jaren 80 van de vorige eeuw. We nemen je mee langs verschillende kraakpanden in Den Haag. In deze eerste aflevering nemen we je mee naar het Buitenom in Den Haag, hier stond tot 2003 het kraakbolwerk “De Blauwe Aanslag”. Veel luister plezier!”
