Emiel Efdée and Jean Klare are both graphic designer. Emiel Efdée’s work can be found on www.uwontwerper.nl (his personal thoughts on music can be found via www.shffl.com by the way), Jean Klare’s work can be found on www.jeanklare.nl and www.atlasvandebelevingswereld.nl. Besides graphic design they share a deep love for music and a matching taste.

One of his grateful Soundcloud followers decided to reward Gluid for all the free, high quality recordings he offers and made a video for one of his tracks from his latest album. This video is made by Kamiel Rongen & Anne Fehres and it’s a beauty!

This made me wonder… are there more people inspired by Gluid‘s music and willing to make videos? If so, please let me know!

In the 20th(!) edition of the adventurous concert series ass-crack stage-hack, esc.rec. presents two intense Sunday-afternoon concerts at WILLIE in Havenkwartier Deventer.

Machinefabriek has an excellent live reputation and performed once before at an earlier ass-crack stage-hack. That was a very impressive concert and this collaboration with Celer promises nothing less. Jan and Romke Kleefstra performed at earlier ass-crack stage-hacks too. But never before in combination with Anne Chris Bakker, with whom they just released the LP “Griis” on the English Low Point, a comprised version of the music they played during their tour in Tokyo, Japan in 2010.

Amazing performance by Jeroen Diepenmaat. Just wanted to share this with you…

The track ‘Plants’ from Gluid‘s new album Twee, was selected for the Mind The Gap CD that accompanies Gonzo Circus Magazine. This is the second time one of Gluid’s tracks ends up on a Mind The Gap compilation. Clearly somebody’s paying attention overthere!

The 19th edition of ass-crack stage-hack. On February 17 Lomechanik is our guest at WILLIE in Havenkwartier Deventer. Lomechanik is the friendly, high quality label from Nijmegen (remember this?). En they bring a whole array of Lomechanik artists with them.

With Sam A La Bamalot (who also released tracks through esc.rec. by the way), Raadsel, Kijk Een Ster, Terugklap, Jorg and oXane (also released tracksthrough esc.rec.) this will be a night to remember. But don’t take my word for it, just click their names and listen to some of their tracks. Especially if you’re into phat beats and dito sounds, this night cannot be missed. Seriously. It’s a line-up filled to the brim with promises for the future. In a few years you’ll say: “What? All this on ONE night? No way! And for free? Whacky!”

Oh yes. You read that right. Due to a special art project at WILLIE earlier that night, there is no entrance fee for this event. So all you cheapskates are welcome too ;)
