Dijf Sanders

Commissioned by Europalia, multi-instrumentalist Dijf Sanders went to Java, in search for the sound of the Indonesian island. He gathered an impressive collection of fieldrecordings and samples, took them to his studio and created an extraordinary record, bursting with sultry beats and psychedelic trance. ‘JAVA’ was released in the end of 2017 on the Belgian W.E.R.F. label and, just like his exotic predecessor ‘Moonlit Planetarium’, turned out to be a striking work of art. Live, Dijf is accompanied byNathan Daems, who brings the flute and the saxophone to deliver some ethio-jazz vibes into the sound. ‘JAVA’is a record that makes you want to sit down and listen closely but inevitably gets you up and makes you wanna dance ‘till you’re soaking wet.
