THE BLACK HELIKOPTERS -
The Black Helicopters are Dutch producers Elektrovolt and Storm op de Maan.

“I’s true, Scully. Those aren’t normal helicopters. I am sure they are alien technology. They do make this strange sound, I can hear them at night. And when I look out of the window, they are gone.”

CLUB-RES - Live
Le Freestyle techno project by Robber and Kassen,
that grew out of their late-night jam-sessions on Radio Tonka. The focus lies on live performance and improvisation, getting as close as possible to the moment, their instruments and the audience in order to serve the music fresh and as hot as possible.

PROMETHEAN TAPES
Drowned in walls of algorithmic reverb, Promethean Tapes is a harbinger of entropy and wonder. Lush weeps, soulless rhythms and other curious sounds of antiquity and of the future. Also, cheap claps.


YORRIT BLING
Radio host, DJ and producer from The Hague that will make sure the evening starts of smooth, with a blend of the finest tunes his record collection has to offer.

De Vloek

De Vloek is a social cultural space in the harbour of Scheveningen that was squatted over 12 years ago. Starting off as a place where touring bands could play, over time de Vloek has grown to become a unique
example of DIY bottom-up organisation that houses a vegan/organic restaurant, a venue for bands and theatre groups to perform or practice and workspaces for a number of artists and cultural
entrepreneurs, including longstanding Todaysart partners Refunc. The broad range of visitors that frequent de Vloek has helped bring life to a part of the harbour that had been neglected for years.

With the introduction of the squatting ban in the Netherlands, autonomous spaces like de Vloek are on the decline. As such de Vloek has become one of the few places left in the Netherlands where underground
music, DIY projects and cultural activities can blossom without the pressure of high rent; it is one of those places where intention and ideology can still be at the heart of things, instead of profitability.

In an increasingly gentrified harbour area, the mere existence of de Vloek has become an act of dissent. Dissent against the yuppification of the area, and the ‘ivory tower’ politics that drive it.

Recently it became clear that social and cultural center De Vloek in Scheveningen Haven is threatened to be evicted in order to make way for a sailing center. Support De Vloek by signing the petition and participating in actions: http://petities24.com/behoud_vrijplaats_de_vloek
