Beek - Beek with YL Hooi, Silzedrek, FM Pause, N:in, Schu, Semi Offline

YL Hooi (Live)
YL Hooi is the project of Valya Ying-Li Hooi, inhabiting a subtle and mysterious realm of furtive, dubbed-out song, sparse electronic percussion, and distant winds. Moving seamlessly from angelic song to gritty tape gunk, Hooi’s work opens onto a multitude of genres and directions while retaining a distinctly personal stamp through her obsessively zoned-out dub production tactics.

Both live and in the studio, Hooi’s work is produced in close collaboration with Tarquin Manek. In the live setting, the pair use voice, trumpet, bass clarinet, guitar, bass, drum machines and synths to reimagine the carefully produced studio material anew for each performance, keenly aware of improvisational possibilities and the vicissitudes of audience, venue, and acoustic space. Touching on the fringes of many genres and traditions – post-punk, minimal synth, dub, krautrock – Hooi’s protean music is haunted and seductive, her voice trailing off into an echoed infinity anchored to body-shaking foundations.

Silzedrek (Live)
Silzedrek is the latest in a long list of aliases of Tarquin Manek. This project was conceived to explore clarinet and bass clarinet in a live setting utilising the Eastern European and Roma sonorities of the artist’s heritage. As a mainstay and central figure in the current Oz underground scene Manek is adept at employing higher dub logic to the rough juxtapositions and seemingly abrupt left turns his performances can take. Ultimately Silzedrek presents a deeply personal synthesis of time-dilating folk-jazz romanticism, heavy chamber dub and sense of smoked out inner space projected to the outer in cosmic proportions.

FM Pause (DJ)
FM Pause wavers between experimental electronic music and UK bass. With appearances on relevant radio shows, festivals and clubs straight from Halle he\'s roaming the German bass scene, yet mind stretching genre boundaries in his own productions (Tax Free Records, AUXWEGAUSDERMISERE, knackless) .

N:in (Live)
Hamburg resident N:in is in the midst of stirring up local dj booths. She is part of various musical outlets, from collab to solo, label (RAWR) to liveset, featuring an experimental ensemble, audio visual performances and this dubstep-fueled live performance.

Schu (DJ)
Only playing on special occasions, Hamburg based Schu\'s breaky rhythms and dubby subs remain resonant. Adjusting movements with various genre measures, she won’t stop until the morning.

Semi Offline (DJs)
Well known for their vast inventories of strange, rare and underrated records, Semi Offline join forces for an eclectic collage.
