    Nothing Here Now X The Rest is Noise

    Muziekgebouw, Piet Heinkade 1, Amsterdam

    A new generation of artists is transforming electronic music, performances, and club nights into an entirely new experience. From London and New York, Loraine James, Anysia Kim, and 8ULENTINA bring an innovative sound that is both intense and intimate. Nothing Here Now – Transmission Interrupted celebrates trans, non-binary, and women artists who are pushing the boundaries of the sonic spectrum.

    Loraine James
    With a minimalist setup and unbound creativity, Loraine James fuses IDM glitch aesthetics with an improvisational, jazz-rooted spirit. On her latest Hyperdub record, Detached From The Rest Of You (2026) – half-jokingly dubbed her ‘IDM popstar album’ production is pared back to delicate clicks, glitches, and spacious arrangements, bringing her own voice further to the fore.

    Anysia Kym
    Bronx-born producer, drummer and singer Anysia Kym is part of a new generation of New York artists dissolving the boundaries between experimental electronics, R&B and electronic music. Following the breakout success of Truest (2024), she further expanded her sound on her latest alum Purity, her acclaimed collaboration with producer Tony Seltzer. Blending electronic glitch, UK jungle, soul and intimate songwriting, Kym creates music that is as emotionally direct as it is sonically adventurous.

    8ULENTINA
    New York-based electronic composer, interdisciplinary artist, and DJ 8ULENTINA combines expansive sound design with percussive intensity, storytelling, and theatricality. Drawing on his SWANA (Southwest Asia and North Africa) background, he engages with regional folk traditions and techniques such as improvisation and collaboration. This approach also underpins SILLAGE, his event series and record label.

    KROES
    The project of Amsterdam-based artist Lau Breukhoven, KROES explores the intersection of live performance and music technology. Driven by curiosity for nuance, the work unites technical experimentation with poetic sensibility, uncovering hidden histories and the beauty of the seemingly mundane.

    sign.nah
    For sign.nah, music is a vessel for release, channelling holy rage and sweet chaos to move the crowd. At the heart of their DJ sets is a deep love for bass-heavy sounds, sharp percussion, dub, and experimental club from the Global South.

    Val
    Moderator Val is co-founder of Los Angeles Collective, transfemme-run collective that champions and nurtures trans talent.

  2. Babs

    Bitterzoet, Spuistraat 2, Amsterdam

    Babs

    Bitterzoet, Spuistraat 2, Amsterdam

    Babs is een veelzijdige, kleurrijke artiest en producer uit Leiden, die maatschappelijk actuele rapteksten combineert met aanstekelijke, zelfgeproduceerde popbeats. Haar muziek zit vol scherpe observaties, persoonlijke verhalen en maatschappelijke thema’s waarover ze rapt met een flinke dosis humor en zelfspot. Haar debuut-EP ‘Ruimtevrees’ verscheen tijdens de pandemie in 2021. Daarna ging het hard: ze stond op festivals als Noorderslag, Paaspop, Dauwpop en Zwarte Cross, en haar nummer ‘Bennie Boos’ werd genomineerd voor Song van het Jaar. Ook deed ze in 2024 mee met het populaire tv-programma Wie is de Mol?

    Met haar energieke liveshow speelde Babs op talloze podia en deed ze twee uitverkochte clubtours door Nederland. Samen met een strakke liveband, die onder meer bestaat uit haar tweelingbroer als toetsenist en MC, krijgt ze moeiteloos een zaal aan het dansen, zonder de diepgang van haar teksten te verliezen. Dit najaar presenteert ze haar tweede album ‘De Club Is Stuk’, wat ze viert met een feestelijke releaseshow in Bitterzoet.
