Join us on March 13th at Garage Noord for Sous les Pavés, la Plage!—an electrifying evening of cultural exchange, delve deep into sonic waves from Palestine, Maluku, Nigeria, the Caribbean, Iraq, Syria, and Japan.

Q.A.Q & Pala G.

Since their collaboration began in 2023, rapper Q.A.Q and producer Pala.G have been delivering an electrifying mix of powerful lyrics and rich, immersive beats. Drawing from their Palestinian and Moluccan heritage, their music is a compelling mix of resistance and introspection. Q.A.Q’s thought-provoking verses flow seamlessly with Pala.G’s genre-blending and textured productions, ranging from raw, gritty beats to grand, orchestral arrangements. Projects like Onotani (2024) and their upcoming album “Sous les Pavés, la Plage!” pushes boundaries while inspiring both personal reflection and collective liberation.

Kosovan-born and Amsterdam-based, Jo FLM crafts a bold fusion of intricate polyrhythms, high-energy electronic distortions, and boundary-pushing avant-garde sounds, topped off with a striking dub siren solo. Joining her B2B is Trinidadian DJ TOFF YOUTH, who delivers a dynamic mix of New Wave Caribbean genres. Often performing together, they bring a fresh perspective on cultural exchange and collaboration, seamlessly blending their distinct musical backgrounds.

Spicy Dokha & UGE.93
Spicy Dokha, a Dutch-Iraqi artist and vocalist, sculpts sound like a fractured dream—an ethereal fusion of digital and analog that pushes the boundaries of genre. Her voice, a vehicle of raw emotion, weaves language and noise into a landscape uniquely her own, where worlds collide and untold stories emerge. Uncle George Electronics (UGE.93) operates on the edges of bass, jazz, and sonic complexity, crafting unpredictable compositions that feel both alien and deeply familiar. Rooted in Rotterdam’s underground for over a decade, his intricate designs blur the lines between chaos and harmony. Connected since 2017, Spicy and UGE.93 united in 2023 within the confines of a squat studio near Coolhaven. The resulting EP, بَس, is a sonic expression of displacement, yearning, and fractured identities—a reflection of Rotterdam’s vibrant, multifaceted soul, where Maluku and Iraqi heritage converge, bound together by sound.
Bn Khalti & Qalaq
Bn Khalti is a Palestinian Hip-hop producer/rapper and Qalaq is a beat-maker from Syria lattakia.
