Opening Night
Slagwerk presents
Thu 05 Mar 2020Rezzett & Varg2™ & more
Pilar invited Slagwerk to curate the opening night of PILAR ASAP - THE GLITCH EDITION. Slagwerk is a collective primarily focussing on contemporary experimental music. Next to organizing events, they present themselves as a music label. Their aesthetic ranges from metamodern internetculture to endeavours into spiritual ambiences contaminated with strikingly metallic club environments. Striving for an eclectic body of work is the main goal.
They compiled the following line-up for the opening party:
Rezzett / live ( UK - The Trilogy Tapes )
Varg2™ / hybrid set ( SE - Posh Isolation / Northern Electronics )
Merely / live ( SE - YEAR0001 )
djb / live ( NL - Opal Tapes )
hexagon brozart / live (BE - Slagwerk)
Slagwerk dj's (BE - Slagwerk)
Rezzett / live ( UK - The Trilogy Tapes )
Varg2™ / hybrid set ( SE - Posh Isolation / Northern Electronics )
Merely / live ( SE - YEAR0001 )

Slagwerk dj's (BE - Slagwerk)
Rezzett ( UK — The Trilogy Tapes )
Varg2™ ( SE — Posh Isolation / Northern Electronics )
Under the moniker of Varg2™, Jonas Rönnberg runs a cunning operation. Covert transmissions, alongside penetrating statements from techno's core, are stacked adjacent to self-assertive live performances with an agility and depth of focus rarely summoned so instinctively.
Merely ( SE — YEAR0001 )
Merely (additionally a member of Swedish experimental trio Team Rockit and trance project Chariot) meshes layers and blurs borders between the organic and digital, building vast, spacious soundscapes and ethereal harmonies, always with her roots deeply buried within the rich soil of contemporary pop and dance music. The poetic and emotional elements serve as the foundation in her music, where nothing is completely literal, but rather personal, sincere and equivocal. In early 2019, Merely released her 3rd solo album “Hatching The Egg” through YEAR0001 - a project painted with a palette of psychedelica, dream pop, shoe-gaze, chamber music and subtle hints of progressive rock.
