Last April, we curated a program at Muziekgebouw aan ‘t IJ for Minimal Music Festival.

A full day of live experimental music up on the Foyerdeck, with Amsterdam stretched out below us.

You can now listen back to the live sets from @bram.vklink, @victat0r, @noemwaal, @mangruv_ & @rubenverkuylen, and @donia_jrbchi on our SoundCloud.

Thank you again to @shanepb, @minimalmusicfestival, @muziekgebouw, @additaudio.

Love,

What happens when a 200-year-old maracatu rhythm from Pernambuco blends with footwork, dub, grime, Balinese gamelan and Dutch rap? For Amsterdam-based collective mundu lawaai, the answer comes not in the form of a genre, but as an ongoing conversation following the motto: “Resist, be peaceful and make noise.”

mundu lawaai began in 2023, when guitarist/vocalist gabi and electronic musician Alek Kurniawan (aka Mangruv) imagined an improvising band that could be dubbed live. The idea took shape two years later, bringing together seven musicians with different musical backgrounds. Their live performance—which will be presented as part of U? at @denijverheid on Saturday, 7 November—exists somewhere between live composition, cypher and rave.

We called up the lively band members gabi, Alek and Kroes in their headquarters, Studio Tumbuh at the NDSM Werf in Amsterdam Noord, while HERDER dialled in from London. Read the full interview: link ⟶ U?’s bio.

very excited to introduce @ahankar_mati to the loved ones. this is something we have been working on since February of this year, and have been waiting for perhaps the best moment in accordance to the moon, the stars, Kali, our hearts.

ahankar in Bangla means arrogance
mati in Javan means death

we will present our three working pieces, each embodying and transforming with the specific traditions we will center ourselves in.

Qawaali, Rasa, Kakawin.

(it was also my first meeting with this beautiful adufe born in Idanha, PT)

salve o barulho, salve os mais velhos by @mangruv_

Rhythm, percussion and frequencies that pull you inward. Amsterdam-based Indonesian multi-instrumentalist @mangruv_ brings his deep, introspective approach to Jalan Terus.

Come check him out on 22 August at @laak.club

No timetable. Arrive early, stay late and experience the full line-up.

Tickets are available through our link in bio. Capacity is limited, and early ticket sales make a real difference for grassroots collectives like @jiwajiwarecords
