MONTAGE
MONTAGE is super happy to present a night of experimental beats in WORM in Rotterdam. We’ve invited some friends and family over for everything between danceable noise and thoughtful hardcore. You can come for both booty-shaking and chin-stroking, straight from Brussels!
⎋ MONTAGE
is a Brussels based collective and label focusing on experimental electronic music. MONTAGE derives its name from a love for what they call edited music: music that manages to surpass genre-boundaries for narrative structure and experiment. MONTAGE has featured an array of different releases by artists as épong, Justin, TRESS, Dybbuk and many more. They strongly believe in representation in music. Lately, they have also been doing efforts for some more discourse-oriented work with a telegram group chat and some social media posts. A lot of this comes from the deliberate conflation of alternative culture with alternative ideas.

✫ S280F (US – LIVE)
S280F is a US based artist working in experimental electronics & noise. We couldn’t be more happy to have her over for a live-show. With releases on a lot of renowned labels like TAR and formforum, we’ve been following her productions for a while. Her music is abrasive and epic, but never loses a focus on intimacy and beauty. Combining soft-spoken piano melodies with synthlines of grandeur and detailed granular sampling, S280F’s 2021 album titled ‘28’ is what first got us into her music.

✳ épong (BE – LIVE)
Épong is one of MONTAGE’s mainstays. With tracks on Magdalena’s Apathy or Comic Sans compilations and multiple releases on MONTAGE, épong has been working on his trade for a while now. His music can shift from post-rock via hardcore to breakcore in the matter of minutes and his live shows are renowned for the never-ending evolutions of blastbeats and arrays of breaks. Lately, épong has been focusing a lot on sound-design and soundtracks for films, in which he has taken on a keen interest for the resampling of his own instruments. This has also influenced his latest productions, bringing everything from self-recorded resampled breaks to rattling chains into his work.

⧂ INSTAR (UK/BE – DJ)
INSTAR is a London based DJ and part of Antwerp’s all-female gabber collective Burenhinder. She is most renowned for her DJ-sets, ranging from heavy gabber to funny juke. Interspersing serious beats with tongue-in-cheek edits, INSTAR is one of our favourite DJ’s at the moment. We’re super happy to bring her along. Lately, she has also started producing some of her own music, working more on compositions, deconstructing the ecstatic moments of the club into abstracted washes of noise.
