CAMY & SANDER BIRTHDAY BASH W/ RUHR, BADTIME & HAACKULA

Camy & Sander Bday Bash
An evening gagged with Synthpunk, Bodypunk and Minimal Wave
With RUHR, badtime & Haackula

RUHR
RUHR emerges from the fusion of the sounds of the cities of Verona and Berlin, blending the raw, analog tones of early minimal noise synths with the relentless rhythms of early EBM. This project is a meditation on contrasts, where minimalist aesthetics intersect with raw, high-contrast imagery, and passionate lyrics intertwine Dadaist and political themes. RUHR sculpts a realm where sound becomes a powerful force of expression and defiance, evoking a sensual vision intertwined with industrial resonance, a rhythmic pulse of rebellion and social upheaval. The repetitive structures evoke a primordial dance that resonates with the spirit of agitation and the desire for change.

badtime
The Antwerp-based artists Kevin Schuit (Aruba) and Ioana Ciora (Romania) launched badtime in 2020 as a multidisciplinary project that now encompasses a fully formed universe, where visual art and music are one language. Dark & DIY to the core, badtime exists left of the left-field. Together, Kevin and Ioana have composed, written, and visualised badtime’s inescapable raw energy; which Kevin powerfully delivers on stage to immerse the audience.
badtime combines dark-wave, EBM and synth-punk into something unique that they describe as body-punk. Together, the duo casts a magnetic combination of jagged guitar stabs, pulsating bass lines, hypnotic synths, and sinister spells, all held together by an unapologetically rough around the edges ethos. Rather than providing escape, the badtime universe uses sound, image and movement as a form of anti-capitalist catharsis against the doom and monotony of everyday contemporary life.

Haackula 
Formed in a circuitry of love and interest for analog electronic gear A three-piece controlling twice the amount of instruments on stage, Haackula ties together the minimal foundation of electronic and Wave music with romantic melodies, snappy drum grooves and fat synth sounds.
Amsterdam-based they try and revisit the retro futuristic foundation of synth music which whom the pioneers of the genre once envisioned of our present times to be. The project commentates on the shaked up present, engaging in its political and emotional-individualistic troubles.
