[Incu Thursday] Monsters of Moombahton, New Jacks 3.0 and more announced for Incubate 2011!
July 28, 2011
Hi there! This is Incu Thursday. Every Thursday, 14:00h local time, we announce the musicians that were confirmed for the Incubate 2011 festival during the past week. Whether it’s one or twenty names, as long as we have things to confirm…
Ticket sales are up and running well now. So head over here for your passepartouts or day tickets!
Remember we have acampsite for the first time this year as well! Busses will carry you between the campsite and the city centre. You can buy your camping tickets through the Incubate ticket shop.
We’re excited to announce Generation Bass‘ participation with the Monsters of Moombahton, including David Heartbreak, Munchi and DJ Umb. Besides that one-man band The Show Is The Rainbow will play at Incubate 2011 and last name for the Trigga line-up in Midi Theater Café is Horst aan de Massive.
We have also announced The Magus and Lazarov to the film program as well as Fanni Futterknecht – I Almost Love You to the dance program.
Looking for a decent lunch on Saturday? Between 13:00 – 15:00h at De Heuvel we have Eat-In, which you can read all about below. Also we have added the third edition of New Jacks, featuring five young artists who will show their work during Incubate 2011.
Straight from Holland’s Dirty South comes dubstep/drum n bass collective Horst aan de Massive. Part of this collective are DJ’s Wayne Nice & Frank Slappa, DJ Goulash en DJ Floorfilla. After performing at one of the earlier Trigga nights and truely tearing the place apart, we’ve invited these boys back. Expect gruesome lowest of the lowest bass frequencies…
Another rising star on the Monsters of Moombahton bill for this year is Brooklyn born David Heartbreak. Withmoombahton remixes of the likes of Emalkay and Doctor P as well as six free solo EP’s which he gives away on his website, he got himself on big line-ups in nearly every state of America. In his dj-sets you’ll find a mix of hip hop, reggae, dancehall, moombahton, kuduro, dutch house, baile funk and the self-started moombahsoul subgenre.
This half Dominican Republic / half Dutch wonderkid from Rotterdam is one of the biggest and prolific bassheads of his generation, single-handedly putting moombahton (essentially a cross between reggaeton and (slowed down) Dutch house) on the map here in Holland and all around the globe. A kid with big hair that loves to make all kinds of music and share his love for music in the clubs!
Indian, Islamic and Iberian sounds in a single DJ set? Such a musical scenario is not inconceivable for DJ Umb who has provided lovers of electronic music with introductions to new exciting corners of the music culture. The Brit is the co-editor and driving force behind a little blog called Generation Bass, a must-read for everyone who wants to know more about ghettotech and the global music scene’s latest mutations. He smashed the place at Incubate 2010, but will now be back for a good reason as the Monsters of Moombahton!
We won’t have to scrub the dancefloor anymore after The Show Is The Rainbow, as mastermind and only member of the “band” Darren Keen will mostly be positioned lying on the floor during his performance. He is known for performing his songs mostly in the middle of the crowd and everyone may join him! His music style? Something like electronicndiesynthpsychedelicidmhop.
In this experimental film about his father, visual artist C. Graham, Jaimz Asmundson uses psychedelic imagery and machine-gun editing to create a mind-altering documentation of the artistic process of C. Graham.
Refusing to accept the decline of the USSR, a handful of Russian scientists are working secretly to resurrect the Soviet power. Here are some new images of the mysterious program Lazarov.
What is left to relate to when layers of re/presentation are internalized to a constituent level? Prepared with naivety and a microphone Fanni Futterknecht’s character re-measures the performative playground for the ‘acting out’ of affection. On a sugary glaze of installed artificialness, tableau-like projections within relationships are reflecting themselves and mechanisms of objectification are getting rubbed against a subjective potency of performer and spectator. A masked performance, protected from authenticity and sentiments – almost.
New Jacks is what Incubate is all about: helping artists to hatch. With new Jacks 3.0 we have asked five young artists that recently graduated at local academies to present their autonomous view on the theme of this year: We Are Incubate. Other than previous years is this exhibition not only available during the Incubate week but it will last until October 9th.
The opening of New Jacks 3.0 will take place on September 8th at BKKC with none other than Coco Bryce and Jameszoo! For more information and directions, head over to the BKKC website!
Paul Geelen
Paul Geelen is working on and organises a structure wherein personal intuition can become more universal. During New Jacks 3.0 he provokes the spectators view with a contemplative fade along boundaries of public space and private domain. Occurring between two extremes, or in the middle of that range.
Martijn van Dalen
Visual artist and theater maker Martijn van Dalen wants to stop people in their tracks and think about their lives. With humor, engagement or mystery he wants to show contradictions in what we say in relation to what we do. “I don´t want to be a preacher. And although my work pretends to be a message, it really isn´t.”
Joost Jansen
“I, Joost Jansen (1985) am crazy, colourful and creative. I trust my intuition while making fashion related inspiration and prototypes. I make unique objects and magazines and have my own clothing line.” For New Jacks 3.0 Joost will be broadcasting live from a place in Tilburg.
Merel van Beukering
Photograpy is her game. And using surrealism she’s winning it. Having studied both photography and communication & design, the work of van Beukering comes across as very clean and slightly odd, but always striking. It should come as no surprise then that she’s already won several awards for her work.
Tijl Orlando
Tijl Orlando’s work mostly comes in the form of installations. He creates an environment or changes the existing environment. In these spaces, which are strongly based on architectural phenomena, is room for smaller, more or less autonomous works which come in form of sculptures, paintings and photo’s.
An Eat-In is a foodparty. The idea is to bring home cooked food and consume it all together. Sharing some good dishes with the best ingrediënts, having fun and sharing wisdom about food.
Rules of We Eat-Incubate
Participants bring one or more homemade dish(es)
At least one of the ingrediënts is organic
Subscribe in advance
Bring your own drinks
The organic part…
Maybe sounds a bit snobbish? Not really. We’re no food-extremists, it’s no crazy hippieparty. We just love to enjoy good food. That’s why the Eat-In is cool and accessible for all kitchenprincesses, masterchefs and everything inbetween.
So bring: Applepie with apples from your grandma’s garden, salad with vegetables from the nearest organic farmer, herbs from your own garden, organic meat to prepare on the big barbecue… Everything’s possible, as long as it’s good and honest.

With EP From Silence, which they released a year ago Exitmusic showed us their first sign of life.. Passage, their debutalbum, is a bit more bombastic, but still got the sultry sound. Next to this sultry [...]
