- Nocturnal State, the label and music collective The Nocturnal State posse is constantly moving, constantly expanding. All its members come from the dark European underground, and decided to surface in this collective. Wicked DJ's, musicians and visual artists, learning their tricks of the trade over years of underground parties, festivals and roads...
- Industrial Funk, the parties Bringing to the clubs what no one thought possible.. the VIBE, the atmosphere, to many only experienced before in free spaces... derelict warehouses, open fields... that uncaught vibe where music is the most important uniter, new fresh sounds. That vibe also created by being in the most amazing spaces. Where minds can be expanded and new ideas can be formed...
After years of absence we decided it was time to do 'something' again
A little funky get-together in the completely newly renovated Bootleg in Rotterdam
With special guest DJ MOYMA flying in from the UK, and RUWEDATA from Lowriders and Dstruct, the Industrial Funk crew will entertain you with the latest in funky

07 January 08 - 16:29FLYING COLOURS' WORK @ Holy Apples' Exhibition
Today, Friday the 7th of September 2007, I am taking part in a political debate taking place during the annual Haagse Popweek, 10 days of music in Den Haag but usually very rock dominated. The active Dance community in Den Haag is now fed up and initiated a public debate on the state of affairs of electronic music and the city of Den Haag. The biggest issue being why the electronic music sector constantly remains ignored by official institutions and funds.
Place: Nutshuis, Riviervismarkt, Den Haag
Time: 20:00
After the Debate we shall be moving to the Silly Symphonies where I will be playing for the local politicians... Woohoo!! :)

11 October 06 - 07:33NOCTURNAL STATE 06 OUT NOW!!
Finally the new NOCTURNAL STATE is out now!!!
FATTER FACTION - The Great British Musical Companion E.P.
Nocturnal State 06 'Fatter Faction'
Twisting it up like a tornado through your mind, sonicly defusing the frequencies the Fatterfaction boys break it up London Style on this bombastic four tracker.
Three lads, one of them better known to us as Audio Illusion or Krude, MC of the Deadsilence Syndicate Band.
More about Fatter Faction...
Audio architects / musicians Dan Spier and Steve Scott spent many years in their garage studio in Staines, Middlesex, remixing, bootlegging tunes to play out to the free party masses. A lack of direction was rectified when past free party cohort and vocalist Ben McCusker (aka KRUDE / Audio Illusion) dropped into the studio and was blown away by the lawless, gritty tones bouncing off the studio walls.
Bringing with him a peerless vocal style that flies between sardonic, sarcastic social observation to raw urban prose, the Fatter Faction were formed, proper, December 2003. Their infectious, nihilistic tunes are best described as the musical equivalent of being smashed in the face. A calamity of cross-genre, distinctly British sounding tunes that stops anyone within earshot dead in their tracks. Interested?.........keep your ears to the ground... Their first release is out now..!
Order it from this site now!!

10 October 06 - 22:4803/11/2006 next performance...
Hi again,
Has been a long time since I've updated my section, but man look at these pictures and you will see what we have been working on!
Florentijn Hofman asked us to build three giant piano's on Schiermonnikoog, one of hollands wadden islands.
This weekend high-tide is really high... check the photo.
Objects dimensions 5x6x8m, 7 T or 14m3 of timber...
This weekend I was so fortunate as to be able to see Underground Resistance perform at the Today's Art festival in Den Haag. In the 16 years or so of their existence they never played in Holland before. The program promised the entire Galaxy2Galaxy band as well as the younger generation Interstellar Fugitives band. Due to the unforeseen absence of some of the G2G members they merged into a 'special' Interstellar Fugitives outfit.
The band performed 'back to back' with their DJ's, playing a few songs and then be swapped over by half hour DJ sets. I was blown away. Apart from the fact that I was well chuffed that none of them showed up with any CDs (the DJs) nor laptops (the band) I suppose I wasn't prepared to get a full injection of proper soul-music. They were absolutely amazing and the music managed to open quite a few forgotten doors in the memory bank filled with stuff I experience when I hear their music. WOW. WOW. WOW.
I woke up the next day whilst having dreamt to the Jaguar as background music in my dreams... ran to my record shelves, blew the dust of my UR collection and played some old favorites of mine... Jupiter Jazz, Orbit, Elimination, Final Frontier... Gawd these tracks have changed my life FOREVER!
Mad Mike and crew, thank you for doing what you did, for doing what you are still doing, your music has given me life inspiration, then and now and for the rest of my life :)

DMZ ROTTERDAM: The benchmark dubstep night worldwide
vr 29 sep, v.a. 23:30 tot laat | € 5
met Kode9, SpaceApe, Digital Mystikz & Loefaf, SGT Pokes
Dubstep is een relatief jong genre in de Londense clubscene en het collectief Digital Mystikz uit Brixton is de spil. Kenmerkend voor hun muziek zijn de zeer lage subbassen, de messcherpe snares en donkere synthetische klanken. Een ongekende ervaring, overweldigend, duister en fysiek.
Riding pounding break beats on a sea of apocalyptic bass lines, one of the dark knights of the electro bass, we bring you The Dexorcist mixing it up in Dublin.
