Mixtape #120

02 November 2020


Ingenious Brooklyn based drummer and composer Matt Evans is known for his collaborations and contributions to many musical projects including Tigue, Bearthoven, Man Forever and Private Elevators, amongst others. Versatile and daring, one of his most recent ventures resulted in his debut solo album, New Topographics, a bewitching and wholly mesmerizing collection of rhythmic percussion/electronic pieces. With a new record in the works, we’re ecstatic Evans has found the time to put together this month's heavenly mixtape. In his own words:

“it's a pretty mellow mix of tender tones surrounding longing, life and loss — I'm currently finishing a record that's a lot more textural and spacious than my last and i'd say this mix is more representative of the music i'm currently working on than the tunes i released earlier this year”

Le Guess Who?’s Who 2019: Miranda Cuckson

08 October 2019

There’s less than a month to go before Le Guess Who? takes over Utrecht. With over 150 artists set to perform, how do we make sense of such a monumental line-up? We made a list of the artists we’re most excited to see and asked them for their recommendations.

Exhibiting an unsurpassed mastery of the violin and the viola, Miranda Cuckson performs beautifully anything that comes her way. A renowned and unique performer, with numerous prestigious awards and accolades under her belt, she engages wholeheartedly and skilfully with her music, playing pieces ranging from the classical repertoire to contemporary ones. Over the past fifteen years, Miranda has performed and worked with an array of both established and emerging composers from around the world and obviously, we can’t wait to see her performing at Le Guess Who?. And now we know who she is looking forward to seeing too!

Performing Friday 8th November at Janskerk, curated by Jenny Hval

“I’m a fan of Sarah Davachi’s music – the tactility of the sound, the throbbing resonance, the stillness but inner intensity. I’m intrigued by how she really delves into the nooks and crannies of an instrument’s tone, just dwells there. I’m excited she’s performing. ”

 

Fatoumata Diawara

Performing Sunday 10th November at at TivoliVredenburg

Mixtape #85

03 July 2017

Avec Le Soleil Sortant De Sa Bouche's 2014 glorious debut album wrapped together two mammoth-length jams into an exhilarating and infectious release. The Montreal based quartet's second outing, which came out earlier this year, is a dazzling experiment in kraut-funk goodness, packed with hypnotic and blistering grooves. And since we can't take our ears off both albums, we just had to ask the band to put together a mixtape for us!
