PIN-UP the VOLUME
11 June 2022 21:00 - 12 June 2022 00:00
Half way through the two-day event A Weekend of Architecture's Now, Near, Next, the magazines Pin-Up and Volume are organising an epic party for architects, non-architects and anyone who just wants to dance! DJs Shahmaran and DYKEHAUS from Rotterdam's KLAUW COLLECTIVE will play back-to-back in Het Nieuwe Instituut from 9 pm to midnight!
Volume says it best:
"Leave Netflix alone, swap your tiny house or one-room apartment - your 'studio' - for the space of macro-space. You can always wash the car another time. Forget the kids for a while, they'll be fine. Now it's time to party... It's all happening in HNI in Rotterdam, in that building with the new pink staircase opposite the XL mirror flower pot or salad bowl."
Emme Dijkhuis, Dykehaus, is a graphic designer, producer and musician. He grew up in his father's record store and nowadays plays the vinyl that always surrounded him. For Dykehaus, DJing is not only about making music, but also a celebration of queerness in music and nightlife. Social scientist and DJ Arjîn Elgersma, DJ Shamaran, chose the name of a snake woman from Persian and Kurdish mythology as his stage name, and uses breakbeats and deep bass as a means of navigating through an eventful world. Both are resident DJs at KLAUW COLLECTIVE. Listen to samples of their work below to warm up for the night of June 11-12.
