DAS DING [ NL | Minimal Wave / Tear Apart Tapes ]
Das Ding is Danny Bosten, who was active in the early 80s releasing his and friends music by his own cassette label “Tear Apart Tapes”. Powerful and dark electronic sounds that defy the era they were made as much as embrace it. A beautifully remastered LP of these early recordings was released in 2009 on “Minimal Wave” (NYC) and has been greeted most enthusiastically by electronics heads worldwide. At De Fabriek Danny Bosten teams up with his brother Laurens and Johan de Koeyer (Les Yeux Interdits).

PLUS INSTRUMENTS [NL/US | Dewclaw Ditties / Kremlin ]
Truus played together with Nasmak on one of the first events(1980) at the just squated De Fabriek. Playing odd electronic instruments, bass and vocals, most of the Nasmak performances were improvised. She teamed up Michel Waisvisz (Steim), the inventor of the Crackle Box Synthesizer in numerous performances where they peddled their Bandt + Instruments single “Special Agreement” on Plurex. In 1981 she got on a plane to NYC never to call the Netherlands her home again. Armed with background tapes of electronic percussion she reformed Plus Instruments with Lee Renaldo (Sonic Youth) on guitar and David Linton on Drums and so recorded their first and last legendary Februari-April’81 album on Eindhoven’s Kremlin records. Around 1983 Plus Instruments went into hibernation. After many other adventures Truus by surprise spawned in 2011 a full length Plus Instruments CD “Dance with Me” a selection of songs with driving beats and grinding synthesizers. At De Fabriek Plus Instruments will feature Truus de Groot playing several of her self designed and build synthesizers, Toon Bressers (Nasmak/ Beukorkest) on Drums and electronic effects and special with guests Younes Riad.

MODERN WITCH [US/NL | DDB / Disaro / Clan Destine ]
Modern Witch started in Denver as a collaboration by Mario Zoots, Kristy Foom and Kamran Kahn. High internet DIY driven exposure includes collage video/ artwork but it is the music, a blend of lo-fi atmospheric vocals and wobbly Darkwave bass synthlines that makes Modern Witch standout. Tracks made available by download found their place on the upcomming like-minded scene compilations and limited pressing by gallery record labels. At De Fabriek Kristy will perform solo.
