Auris x OBERHAUM luistersessie
Auris is all about listening. No fixed form, no expectations: just the space to follow sound wherever it goes.
Think of it as a place where everything is open: a landscape without a clear direction, where you step out of your routine and let yourself be carried along. For this edition, we land once again at OBERHAUM: our starting point for the night.
From there, we let go of control. The DJs take over and set the course.
Four DJs - Pekkel, 42nd Avenue, Ascha and Mx Terrible - each get two hours to build their own soundscape. Moving through impulsive percussion, heavy atmospheres and layered, pointillistic club rhythms.
We let go of genres and tempos. We listen to what unfolds and follow the artist’s story.
Meanwhile, @ar.strae creates live abstract visuals that move with the sound and continuously reshape the space.
Come by. Stay a while. Listen with us.
Description of the programme
42nd Avenue
A ‘42nd Avenue’ doesn’t exist in our world. It’s not something you can go to or touch upon. Yet the idea is allowed to exist somewhere in our imagination, as vivid and real as you like it. Coming from techno, having moved through bass-oriented styles & downtempo, the 42nd project focusses on the dance floor & its vast amount of forms. Allowing to drift between multiple genres & styles, the task is to find an approach to any situation. Music is about trance, appeasement & thorough connection between body & mind. Roll with me…
Born and raised in Groningen, Pekkel brings the region’s down-to-earth attitude into his music. In his sets he aims to create a steady but ever-evolving groove shaped by diverse musical influences. A focus on low-end and percussion define his sound, with dub and tech elements being a recurring theme. Throughout the years, Pekkel has made appearances for various collectives, club OOST and at radio stations throughout the country.
As a DJ, Ascha is on an ever-evolving journey of exploring sounds past and present. Moving fluidly between genres in her mixes, she is interested in the unconventional and underrepresented. With an affection for syncopated rhythms, her sound ranges from downtempo beats like R'n'B, trip-hop and dub, to old school UK garage, dubstep and contemporary bass-driven club music. She will create a warm and intimate atmosphere whether it is in a club or in a listening setting. Past performances include Lowlands Festival, Wilde Weide Festival, IsBurning, Club3 and homebase RRFM in Amsterdam.
Rotterdam-based Mx Terrible translates the grit of Eastern European streets into a film noir: shadowed textures of electro, EBM, and ambient weave with ghostly folk fragments and shards of Polish rap. The structure is non-linear; sudden shifts, odd motifs, and unexpected flashes create a tension that never quite resolves. Heavy shadows meet abrupt contrasts, vocal fragments surface like overheard thoughts, and a sly humor flickers through the gloom. It is a vision that feels lived-in yet cinematic, one that refuses a happy ending.
Auris aims to create and nurture spaces where like-minded people from the underground music scene come together to share their work in an environment free from the constraints of traditional clubs.
We do this through listening sessions. By offering artists a supportive space to express their ideas and experiment with sound, we want to encourage the growth of both individual talent and the scene as a whole.
