Ziúr feat. Elvin Brandhi, Iceboy Violet, Sander Houtkruijer / Lol K

Ziúr’s music has always challenged the status quo. Since 2010, she has repeatedly succeeded in putting her own stamp on so-called «deconstructed club music». Currently, her musical work is more difficult to categorise than ever before. On the album Eyeroll, released in mid-2023, she collaborates with Elvin Brandhi, Abdullah Miniawy, Iceboy Violet, Juliana Huxtable, James Ginzburg from Emptyset and Ledef and fuses raw fragments of jazz, punk, sacred music and weird, modern club. In her live show, she will perform alongside visual artist Sander Houtkruijer, who has already developed the imaginative videos for Eyeroll, Welsh experimental lyricist, producer and sound artist Elvin Brandhi and rapper Iceboy Violet from Manchester.

Lol K is the duo of Junior XL and CJ Calderwood (part of Good Sad Happy Bad, among others). Their first album The Breeze is a meticulous, dense and idiosyncratic mix of UK drill, pop, dub, punk, garage, folk and 2-step. It includes guest contributions from LA Timpa and Coby Sey. Beneath the tension-building strings and asymmetrical screams, themes of queer revenge, escapism and belonging are explored. The duo are currently working on a new album, and their concert will no doubt provide the first taste of this. On the evening before their show, Lol K will also be playing a DJ set at Radio Bollwerk.
