Het Schimmengebied 5 October 2023

Today, in these bleak first weeks of autumn with temperatures almost touching freezing point, it is time for Het Schimmengebied again from 23:00 to 00:00 CET.

Once again with curious electronic experiments and, if the muses are in tune with us, improvised vocals, all performed live by your eternal host of Het Schimmengebied, Duistere Bardo.

This time you can listen not only via the website of Radio Tonka and 92.0 FM in The Hague, but also via the ZENDCast of the ZEND Media Festival, which takes place this week.

Duistere Bardo @ Antilounge 36 Release Party in The Grey Space, The Hague

This Saturday Duistere Bardo will play live at the Antilounge 36 release party in The Grey Space in the Middle in The Hague. Duistere Bardo will perform a short live set of 20 minutes from 22:30–22:50, crossing between haunting West Coast house, dystopian electro, and industrial soundscapes, including elements of his new track Onderstroom on the new Antilounge release. If you want to see me live next to a whole selection of other cool underground artists from The Hague – including Kopa 101, Cosmox, Juxtapoison, Elif Soğuksu, OK SJON, Robber & Gizmotron, Black Hawaii, Zeynep Okta, The Reptilians, Reg Desard, Andre Miranda, Foresense, and Alkaloid – be sure to drop by in time!

Hidden desires

Do we not all come forth from darkness? From the unknown, the abyss of existence? And do we not desire, even if only sometimes, to return to these dark, unknown origins?

And isn’t this why, at least those times that you think of it, you tune into Het Schimmengebied on Radio Tonka? Every first Thursday of the month from 23.00 till 0.00 at 92.0 FM (in The Hague) and www.radiotonka.org?

Tonight again! With a refined selection of electronic music, coming straight from the grooves of black vinyl records, carefully mixed live by yours truly, Duistere Bardo!

Lost moments

Tonight, after my absence last month, there will be a new edition of Het Schimmengebied on Radio Tonka. This time I will dive into my record bag again, and sacrifice the grooves of a refined selection of old vinyl to the needles of the record players in the studio.

Don’t mis it! In a short moment from 23.00 till 0.00 at Radio Tonka via www.radiotonka.org (and 92.0 FM in The Hague)!
