Mink Records Festival: Recap

Wow… we are still enjoying the afterglow of last Sunday, on which our festival took place at Paard in The Hague. We would really like to thank all the musicians: The Visual, Illnoledge, Donna Blue and TOUSCH – the DJs, those who attended, Orisun Studio and Reconsider Studio, and the whole team at Paard. After having to postpone this event twice due to the pandemic, it was truly magical to celebrate music and community again, after such a tough year, together with so many familiar friendly faces. Our hearts are full!

Here are some pictures taken by Aaron Mitchell, Lilly Jackson and Nora Cammann!

‘De Nacht Blijft! (Thuis)’, live stream episode with Mink Records (interview & DJ set)

Last friday PIP Den Haag and N8W8 Rotterdam visited my house, for a live stream interview about Mink Records & a DJ set. The episode was part of their online series ‘De Nacht Blijft (Thuis)’, which aims to bring nightlife to you via livestreams, now that clubs and venues are closed. Other institutions who featured on episodes include WORM, BIRD, Het Magazijn, Today’s Art, Weelde, Rotown, Paard and many more.

The Mink Records live stream can be found in two parts, here’s the first one, that contains the interview I did with Gino and Sam (in Dutch, sorry), about Mink Records, recent projects I’ve been working on (like a proposal we submitted to The Hague’s city council that contains a plan to convert a derelict nuclear bunker from the Cold War era to dozens of music studios and rehearsal spaces, amongst other things). The second part is my DJ set, which can be found here.

Thanks for tuning in, x
