Album presentation of a legendary jazz voice with electronic underground and live melodic beats during the opening concert of ADE.-------------------------------------------------
Greetje Bijma & Oceanic
It’s a remarkable collaboration between leftfield techno DJ and producer Oceanic and jazz vocal artist Greetje Bijma; a sparkling hybrid at the intersection of improvisation and electronics. Greetje Bijma can rightfully be called a legend: in 1990, she was the first woman to win the Buma Boy Edgar Prize (the most prestigious Dutch award for jazz and improvised music), and she has collaborated with the likes of Jasper van ’t Hof, Willem Breuker, and Louis Andriessen. Since the 1980s, this free jazz singer has been an integral part of the Dutch jazz scene. When Pieter Jansen of the record label yeyeh met Bijma, he was instantly starstruck. He asked her if she would be interested in collaborating with a young electronic music producer, and her answer was an immediate and enthusiastic yes. Enter Oceanic. This rising star in the Dutch electronic underground is known for his mechanical rhythms, minimalist melodies, and vibrant electronics. Although they come from completely different generations, they had an instant musical connection. Expect mind-expanding vocals, danceable rhythms, and breathtaking beats.
LUXE (live)
This London DJ brings a unique blend of classical music and cutting-edge electronic beats like you’ve never heard before. With her background in flute, piano, and vocals, she brings deep musicality to every set, giving her tracks a refreshing twist in the club scene. Whether you see her shining at major festivals like Waterworks and Field Day or elsewhere, LUXE’s performances are always a journey through a fascinating world of sound. Experience her energetic and boundary-pushing music live at Amsterdam Dance Event at the BIMHUIS.
ADE opens with five Arts & Culture Opening Concerts with leading figures in art forms from all fields. This concert is selected to be one of the five opening concerts of ADE 2024.
