RADAR x ADE: Vieze Meisje, De Witte Kunst, Klankspoor & Mary

Melkweg's monthly discovery program returns with a special ADE edition. On Thursday 17 October, we welcome a line-up of authentic artists of multiple genres, each incorporating electronic sounds in their own right.

Vieze Meisje
Vieze Meisje (Dutch for Dirty Girl) is the singing, performing and all-encompassing second self of mortal Maya Mertens. Her quirky poetry is at times heartwarmingly honest, at other times hilariously funny and, at times, brutally elegant. With acrobatic beats, loops and sounds that turn any deconstructive dance party into well-sounding chaos. Once you have heard and/or seen Vieze Meisje, you are forever part of life's Dirty Circle.

De Witte Kunst
De Witte Kunst is a Dutch music group consisting of multi-instrumentalist Lyckle de Jong and writer/singer Koen van Bommel. Their songs are about dreams of a better world, the fear of being touched and how to actually create a place for yourself in this chaotic world. The result is a manifesto that raises rather than answers questions, while the listener may well find themselves in a state of confusion. Duly noted!

Klankspoor
Klankspoor is a modular techno project by drummer Quinten de Jongh (The Hague). Using modular synthesis, and inspired by artists such as Florian Meindl, Julia Bondar and Robthebloke, Klankspoor's music includes deep bass lines, rhythmic patterns and evolving melodies. Each performance focuses on a unique experience for the audience, playing everything live without any pre-programming.

Mary
Amsterdam based producer and vocalist Mary is known for weaving cerebral teasing contemporary electronics into hauntological DJ sets. Whether through collecting, composing, or DJing, Mary's creations exist within fleeting moments, urging us to embrace the now.
