24 HEURES ELECTRONIQUES: NIGHT
A South Africa Event on 2016-05-07 00:00:00
Since 2009 24 Heures Electroniques Festival is dedicated to the discovery and promotion of electronic music. During the day, Rocklab hosts workshops and artist talks all focused on highlighting various components of state-of-the-art electronic music making coupled with a set of live shows during the night, featuring international and local electronic music acts!
This year's edition is organised in collaboration with the Ville d'Esch-sur-Alzette for the Nuit de la Culture.
CHARLOTTE DE WITTE (BE):
Formerly known as Raving George, 23-year-old DJ/Producer Charlotte de Witte is one of the most exciting new talents of the Belgian techno scene. She is known for exploring techno's dark side, which, according to her, allows for a larger array of emotions. When she’s DJing her main goal is to try and touch the crowd, tell a story with her music whilst still letting people get loose and have fun. After festivals and parties in the US, South Africa and all over Europe, her heart still remains tied to both the underground Techno scene and to Belgium where she can be found championing new talents both on her Saturday night radio show, Playground on Studio Brussels, Belgium’s leading radio station, and at KNTXT, de Witte’s new residency at Brussels techno institution Fuse. After You’re Mine, a collaboration with the fast-rising Belgian star Oscar & The Wolf, now set for a full international release, Charlotte de Witte has also released a new EP, Weltschmerz, on Turbo Recordings and shows no sign of slowing down. Despite her love of all things dark, the future for Charlotte de Witte looks very bright indeed.
HOKUBE (LU):
Born and raised in Libreville, Gabon, Hokube is a beatmaker and producer whose style is an effortless and fresh blend of New York hip-hop, 70s soul, French Touch and African pop. Already cooking up beat tapes in high school, he went on to produce music in Paris and Seoul for rappers such as Fababy, Joke or Ja Mezz. Now based in Luxembourg, he has released his 1st solo EP I Had to Do It At Some Point in September 2015.

BINKBEATS (NL):
Operating from what looks like a storage room filled with weird and out of time instruments, Binkbeats has become an unparalleled musical wizard. He received worldwide acclaim for his Beats Unraveled series on Boiler Room, in which he meticulously deconstructs electronic tracks and rebuilds them in a single live take. Reinterpreting the music of Madlib, Flying Lotus, Aphex Twin and J. Dilla with instruments ranging from vibraphone, guzheng (Chinese harp), turntables, exotic percussion, voice to typewriter, he quickly received the praise he deserved. Having spent a lot of time with other people’s music, Binkbeats’ focus has now shifted to his personal material. His love for the artists mentioned earlier resonates in his own songs: ranging from spun out esoteric song statues to pumped up aggressiveness – it's all there. Binkbeats on stage surrounds himself with over 50 instruments, which he samples, tweaks and arranges in a dazzling manner.
24 HEURES LAB FEAT. CHOOK & PASCAL SCHUMACHER (LU):
Initiated by Rocklab, the 24H Lab brings together two artists from two very different musical horizons. After the success of Glittersberg last year, featuring Sun Glitters, Luxembourg’s most renowned electronic music producer and Lisa Berg, one of the country’s leading cellists, this year's edition of the 24H Lab will bring together Chook, a confirmed local drum and bass producer and founding member of Monophona, and vibraphone virtuoso Pascal Schumacher. The two artists have taken up residency at Rocklab in early spring 2016 to join forces on a shared musical composition, which will be originally presented during a showcase at this year’s 24 Heures Electroniques.
AAMAR (LU):
Aamar is a local producer creating ambient electronic music with a touch of soul and hip hop roots. Starting out as a passionate record collector in 2006, he discovered J-Dilla and the whole LA beat-scene, which pushed him to start producing his own music. In 2011, he really got the hang of it after listening to artists such as Toro y Moi, Chrome Sparks, Tycho and many, many more…
E-LODIE (100,7 LIVE RADIO BROADCAST):
E-Lodie, your weekly show on radio 100,7 with new, adventurous releases, is exploring the various fields of electronic music. From the darkest sweat-soaked techno-clubs to the studios of the weirdest producers of experimental and cosmic avant-garde, through vibrating fields of synthetic soundscapes and mystic forests of kicks, snares and handclaps. For the 24 Heures Electroniques, your host Yves Stephany has put together a special program with tasty bits of music and some interesting guests, which will be broadcast live from the Rockhal.
