Music venue DJS is known for building bridges between various musical genres. On this special night, that happens again with Analog Kitchen Goes Jazz. DJ/producer Lucien Foort takes you on a musical journey in which live electronics from dance music are seamlessly interwoven with the warm sounds of authentic instruments, performed by saxophonist Marco Hijl and percussionist Timothy van der Holst, among others.
Analog Kitchen is all about the pure power of live performance. No pre-recorded sets, but a dynamic setup full of hardware: drum computers, sequencers and samplers. For those in the know, this is a rudimentary approach that does justice to the essence of electronic music. Foort turns knobs, fine-tunes frequencies and carefully builds a musical tension curve. With perfectly chosen beats, layered sequences and subtle sound effects, he serves up a rich musical palette that knows how to touch every listener.
What makes this edition unique is the addition of jazz improvisation. Sax and percussion merge with the electronic grooves, resulting in a fresh cross-pollination of styles. The energy is constantly in motion, with the past and present reinforcing each other in a compelling, musical dialogue.
Think influences from Robert Hood, Octave One, KiNK, Depeche Mode and The Normal - all in one big musical pan, heated and carefully stirred. This is what Analog Kitchen stands for: Musical Soul Food with a surprising jazz twist.
Come listen, experience it, and be amazed by the magic of Analog Kitchen Goes Jazz!
