H_U_T._ + TAUPE (SC) + BIG HARE + DJ OSCAR

TAUPE (SC)
Taupe’s concoction of free(math)avant(skronk) shifts between sour sonics, effervescent improvisations and sludgy doom-laden riffs. This Glasgow-based trio wield an almost spooky telekinesis, veering into taut metronomic precision from turbulent & unwieldy chaos.

Ever-informed by a DIY ethos, there is a wonky charm to Taupe’s music, bridging the nostalgic no-wave disorder of DNA or James Chance with the squeaky-clean precision of contemporary groups like Goat (jp) or Horse Lords. Their performances rumble and pulse with a fun anarchic spirit which takes any pretensions or self-seriousness out to the woodshed.

It’s no wonder that their exhilarating sense of discovery has won them support from the likes of BBC 6 Music’s Freak Zone and BBC Radio 3’s Late Junction and Freeness, as well as appearances at festivals including REWIRE in the Hague and support slots with acts such as Deerhoof, Richard Dawson & Circle and Melt Banana.

Fizzing with ideas, Taupe prize surprise over all else.

H_U_T._ is an experimental music and artist collective based in Tilburg (NL). Inspired by the boundary-pushing spirit of the Fluxus movement, H_U_T._ embraces an open approach to artistic and musical freedom. Their work spans from weird-punk, art-rock, and happenings to noise, doom and improvisation. Think of bands such as Wire, Pharaoh Overlord, DEVO and Alice Coltrane.

Big Hare has always been trying to look beyond the bleakness of everyday life for the more magical, funny and spiritual insights. Their most recent album Sun House is a song collection for the solar cult they founded. Its key belief is that a hedonistic paradise lies ahead of us after the energy transition. In energetic live sets, these ideas are translated into solarcore hymns in which they communicate with dolphins and fantasize about solar powered space traveling. Visit solarcore.org for more info.

Released in 1982 on Trumpett, the Colonial Vipers cassette offered an extensive snapshot of the Dutch home-taping scene at its creative peak. One of the earliest compilations of its kind, it brought together a diverse array of underground artists, nearly all contributing exclusive tracks. For this reissue, 13 of these rare pieces have been carefully selected, highlighting the experimental energy that defined the era.

Naturally, it features core Trumpett artists Ende Shneafliet, whose moody, otherworldly minimal synth composition captures the spirit of early ‘80s electronic experimentation, and Doxa Sinistra, blending cold wave and experimental electronics in ways that remain strikingly fresh today. Also present are acts such as Van Kaye & Ignit, Nice Circles, and The Actor, whose minimalist infectious tracks epitomize the DIY synth ethos of the period. Additional contributors like Genetic Factor, Det Wiehl, De Fabriek, and Muziekkamer offer textured, atmospheric pieces that blur the line between abstract avant-garde and concrete industrial sound works.

For the first time ever on vinyl, this revised edition preserves the raw energy, eerie atmospheres, and mechanical rhythms that made the original cassette a hidden gem of the European underground. Carefully mastered to ensure every nuance of these pioneering tracks is fully realized, it is a must-have for minimal wave enthusiasts and anyone fascinated by the innovative sounds of the early Dutch post-punk scene.
