WAHJ Live Performance Premiere
Line up: Toni Geitani (featuring Spooky J), YA Z AN
Open: 20:00 - 23:59 hrs
Tickets: € 10
After the release of Wahj at the beginning of 2026, named The Guardian’s Global Album of the Month, Beirut-born and Amsterdam-based composer, producer and singer Toni Geitani brings the album to OT301 for an immersive live performance.
Joined by Spooky-J on drums and Luuk van der Heijden on light design, Wahj unfolds as a cinematic sound world where experimental electronics meet Arabic layālī vocals, analogue synths and heavy percussion.
Rather than treating collapse as an end, Wahj turns toward what persists within it: resistance, possibility and hope.
Expect dark ambient textures, industrial pressure and flashes of pulsing avant-pop.
After the performance, YA Z AN takes over with a DJ set to carry the night forward.
