Once again this year, OndaRock renews its partnership with what has effectively become one of the unmissable fixtures on the European festival circuit: Rewire, in The Hague, on the first weekend of April. Constantly poised between experimentation, electronic music and leading names from the global independent scene, Rewire has managed to keep up with new trends while staying firmly true to its mission of presenting the very best out there, with a particular focus on new projects, premieres and a/v performances.
This year’s program doesn’t disappoint expectations either – quite the opposite. With an imposing line-up (the largest ever), Rewire aims to explore increasingly niche corners. This year the stars multiply, with acts of the calibre of Julia Holter, Autechre, Sunn O))), Oneohtrix Point Never, Ben Frost, The Necks, to name just a few.
While the now-traditional appointment with the “grand old names” of experimentation isn’t missing (Annea Lockwoord, this year), the trajectories of future electronic languages are once again the main focus: so there’s room for acts of the calibre of 33EMYBW, Arushi Jain, Aunty Rayzor, Iceboy Violet, Jlin, Lila Tirando a Violeta & Sin Maldita, Loraine James, for example. Not forgetting the festival’s essential purely “live” dimension, with unmissable appointments such as Dialect, goat, One Leg One Eye, Phew with Oren Ambarchi, Tara Clerkin Trio, Rafael Toral, Romeo Poirer.
Not to mention names now firmly established on electronic trajectories, such as Warp label darling Slausone Malone, the supergroup The Sleep of Reason Produces Monsters, Gazelle Twin with her latest album,
This is one appointment not to be missed. All the info here.
