Guten Morgen,
heute ein Bild von gestern: ein Weggefährte am Elberadweg.
Die blau blühende ‚Gemeine Ochsenzunge‘ setzt auf einer kahlen Fläche kurz vor Pirna wunderschöne Farbkleckse. Interessant ist, dass die Wurzeln einen roten Farbstoff enthalten, der früher zum Färben von Ölen und Fetten verwendet wurde.

Kommt gut durch den trockenen und milden Frühlingstag.

Anderworld Records - Wilco Prinsen - EP Release party

OT301, Friday, June 19 at 10:00 PM GMT+2

Anderworld Records is a new project by Amsterdam Alternative. It’s a not a traditional, hierarchical record label but a cooperative, post-capitalistic initiative focussed on music, research and experiment.
Join us on Friday 19th of June at the OT301 to celebrate the first release by Wilco Prinsen.
More about the label on the AA website soon.
Artists:
Wilco Prinsen
The Amsterdam-based producer and live musician Wilco Prinsen balances his instrumental electronic music between genres such as psychedelia, kraut, lo-fi electronica, IDM, and ambient. His love for a gritty, organic sound originates from the east of the Netherlands, where he began experimenting as a guitarist with analog effect pedals and overdriven tube amplifiers. In his quest for more freedom, wonder, and abstract sounds, the guitar has given way to a modular synthesizer. From a labyrinth of knobs, cables, and flickering lights, Wilco Prinsen builds hypnotic live performances in which the boundary between rhythm and melody blurs.

Mathilde Nobel
Mathilde Nobel is a Rotterdam-based musician and visual artist whose work bridges ethereal sound design with a deconstructed club sensibility. Her music is marked by cinematic pads, angelic processed vocals, and fragmented rhythms that feel painterly in their emotional depth and contrast. With a background in Fine Arts, Nobel builds immersive worlds where sound, visuals, and performance dissolve into one another.
As a self-taught musician, she released her debut EP May+Be in 2022, followed by the full-length Founds on Land on Nous’klaer Audio. The album received critical acclaim and was included in NRC’s Top 25 Albums of 2022. Founds on Land was also reinterpreted by techno pioneer Marcel Dettmann, who released four remixes that expanded her sound into new sonic territory.
Nobel has performed at renowned festivals such as Rewire, Dekmantel, Draaimolen, and Motel Mozaïque, and continues to present her work in compelling audiovisual live shows. In addition to her Dutch appearances, she has debuted internationally with performances in Iceland and Switzerland, further establishing her unique voice at the intersection of sound and visual art.

Bastian Benjamin
Sculpting sounds into compositions that fit both the club and solitary walks, Bastian Benjamin’s music bridges rhythm and emotion. He has released on labels like Nerve Collect and Who’s Susan, and collaborated with artists across various disciplines, he is also part of the live act A#, with performances at events such as Draaimolen and STOOR. His sensibility for molding the abstract into something that moves both body and mind comes to life in his compositions and live sets.

Zohar
Cutting-edge sonics as the shifting of storms. Percussive and pulsating, Zohar is known for a razor-sharp and highly dynamic club-signature.
With years of formative experience controlling dancefloors, the artist behind Zohar has been treading a diverse and eclectic musical path in which rattling low-end and rhythmic tension can be regarded as the common denominators. Known for technical refinement and mixing witchcraft, Zohar now intuitively seeks innovative and surprising connections, both disorienting and exciting listeners in the process.
The artist’s sparse yet prolific output as a producer is best channeled through the illustrious ZHR label. Its catalog consists of two DIY releases (Object, 2022; self-titled, 2019) and have been distributed in collaboration with Clone Rotterdam. These highly personal records provide temporal signs that define Zohar’s artistic development. Furthermore, works appeared on compilations by Dekmantel (DKMNTL X PATTA, 2020) and Traumgarten (Flowers That Bloom At Midnight, 2020).
Quickly becoming a mainstay in the vital Dutch scene, Zohar has recently featured at renowned institutions such as Dekmantel Festival (2022, 2019) and FIBER Festival (2022) as well as making international appearances at Positive Education (2022) and the Opera House (2022, 2018). The latter took place in collaboration with dance performer Hannah Grennel (formerly involved with the Royal Ballet UK).
