ONE LAST TIME (BY HURU-HARA)

The last days of summer settle into low-end frequencies. Cross-border collective and label Huru-Hara (SG/KL) makes a stop in Rotterdam from the wider Southeast Asian underground. Joined by local friends, the music drifts through hazy dub, breaks, and bass-forward sounds, finding common ground through low end, riddim, and shared diasporic connections. One last stretch of summer heat, carried from daylight into midnight. Free entry! TASHASAN TASHASAN is the alias of Singapore-born DJ, designer and cultural organiser Natasha Hassan. Rooted in her South and Southeast Asian heritage, she explores the murkier corners of club music through breaks, dubstep, juke and dubbed-out electronics, anchored by chest-rattling low end and what she jokingly calls "socially responsible, conscious booty bass tunes." Her sets move fluidly between soundsystem traditions, bass weight and percussive rhythms, balancing intensity with moments of warmth, groove and surprise. MIA DJ and producer based in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. She performs under the name MIA as a DJ and releases music as miaaa. She has been active in the local scene since 2023, building a presence through a distinctive approach to breaks- and bass-focused sounds. Her sets explore a range of moods — sometimes high-energy and percussive, other times slower and more reflective — but always laced with grit, broken grooves, low-end weight, and ambient textures. She focuses on keeping things grounded and honest to resonate with the dance floor and gravitates towards music that balances raw energy with vulnerability. Touching Feelings Rotterdam-based duo Touching Feelings carve out space between the dance floor and its outer edges. One comes from Jakarta's bass music and breaks scene; the other from a deep pull toward ambient and slower textures. Together they've built a shared language of dubbed-out electronic music: glitchy and heavy in places, luminous everywhere else. They treat emotional charge like voltage, following its dips and spikes in real time. Club structures meet ambient drift, broken rhythms dissolve into weightless textures, and back again. Kimmah They say the best things come in small packages and Kimmah is no exception to the rule. She jokes, “I can usually only see the first row of hyped-up dancers and they really make my night.” But rest assured, she has the people jumping all the way to the back of the club with her edgy, high-energy track selections. Favoring higher tempos, she delivers an energy explosion that gets the sweat dripping down from the ceiling. With regular excursions into dark, funky, and fast electro, breaks, bass, and acid, she matches the grit and sleaze with plenty of bump and grind, for a full body dance floor workout. North Not South North Not South moves feet from east to west with a sound rooted in breakbeat-driven club music, drawing from UK bass, electro, leftfield techno and jungle. Born from two friends with different musical backgrounds, the project emerged from a shared obsession with off-beat rhythms and experimental tonal patterns. In their explorative and process-driven approach to making music they constantly push the boundaries of their own sound, where textural, evolving synth work and organic melodies are added to heavy basses and percussive drums to create balanced but fresh danceable sound. Last year they released their debut EP "Shifting Dunes" on Amsterdam-based label Flippen Bits, run by Monty DJ. A refined and emotionally resonant debut, the EP highlights the duo’s knack for blending mysterious atmospheres, euphoric builds, and meticulous sound design. Cold Hippie Cold Hippie is a DJ and Antarctaphile from the South Pole. He plays cold-tinged broken techno, acidic Snowbeat, grime and UK bass music that reflects the dynamic and fracture-prone landscape he used to inhabit. His sets are lethal yet non-linear, traversing ice-cold landscapes and embracing glacial textures. You will be reminded of the absurdity of your predicament. Beyond his many escapades in clubs and small festivals in Scotland and England, he also spent time in Malaysia, featuring at clubs like Fono and Cero. Central to his project is using music and art to rectify people's typically negative perceptions of cold and ice, promoting it as something deceptively solid and lifeless but actually full of movement and vitality.
