Mo Chan aka DJ Kohlrabi sets the tone for an evening of wide-ranging sounds. Y-DRA examines the potential for resistance in koplo (or “stupid” in Indonesian), a popular Indonesian music genre that channels the sentiments and experiences of the country's working class. Hybrids of new, vivid, visceral sounds, his album and live show titled “No-Brain Dance” channel koplo’s rhythmic elements alongside techno and IDM to shapeshift between identities and realities.

Rizan Said is a prolific composer, musician, and producer who has contributed to hundreds of Syrian music industry productions, and scores for television and cinema. Said’s live performances catalyse fervent dancing driven by the sounds of the Syrian dabke. He will perform following the release of his second solo record, on Akuphone Records.

Belgian ensemble Borokov Borokov guarantee raucous, energetic shows and feverish dancing. The Antwerp-based project offer a pounding mix of hi-NRG, punk, pop, hardcore, lounge music, and power ballads. Absurd and bizarre, the four-part troupe boasts sympathetic mindfucks as they segue from sludgy acid flashbacks to brisk synth-pop.

Y-DRA appears in collaboration with Nusasonic.
