On Halloween 2021 the famous Rotterdam venue “Baroeg” saw a nice little one-day fesival of six bands. Unfortunately, the originally scheduled Test Dept. and Actors had to cancel ue to Covid-related travel probems, but the lineup was great nevertheless.<\/p>\n
Up first was RADERKRAFT<\/a>, a one-man synthwave project from Amsterdam. With sometimes not-too-subtle 80s elements and driving tunes, it wasn’t long before everyone was moving.<\/p>\n The second band was ZWARTE PO\u00cbZIE<\/a> from Utrecht, who I had seen a few times before, and who again put on a cracking set – and this time I finally managed to film two tracks from their latest album “Zelfportret”.<\/p>\n They were followed by another one-man act, SYDNEY VALETTE<\/a> from Paris, wo showed that single-person electronic acts don’t have to be people pushing keys on their laptops only. The audience of the sold out festival liked it, and there was a lot of dancing going on.<\/p>\n From Berlin came NNHMN<\/a> (read: Nonhuman), a darkwave duo who made good use of the strobelighs on stage – nice for ambiance, difficult for taking photos \ud83d\ude00 Nevertheless, they put on a good show and their set went down well.<\/p>\n Another act from Paris were up next – I have seen MINUIT MACHINE<\/a> a few times before, and they never failed to deliver a great set, and this night was no exception – Amandine’s singing and H\u00e9l\u00e8ne’s music (she is quite well-known as Hante. as well) go really well together, and they are not loved by so many people for nothing.<\/p>\n
