Headfirst Editor's Pick
"Sell out warning! Outsider ‘space jazz’ pop oddities from a true underground hero, at 81 years old Ronald Langestraat is finally having his time round the sun. Latin jazz inflections meet stuttering computer rhythms and Ronald’s mournful voice in a hotel lobby on the ISS; guaranteed gigantic discovery for fans of Chick Corea, Jimi Tenor, Surprise Chef, Tara Clerkin, Mauskovic Dance Band."

Strange Brew presents..
Ronald Langestraat Trio (Live)
Nicolini (Live)
In the early 1980s, Ronald Langestraat was one of the mainstays of the Amsterdam jazz scene; he played in jazz bands like Cascada and Ritmo Natural. At that time, he also started to search for his own sound – a spacy mix of jazz, soul and groovy salsa. Ronald went on a space mission, resulting in a psychedelic, otherworldly, pristine and personal sound. Fast forward to 2022 and Langestraat’s peculiar cosmic pop has never sounded more relevant.
This summer saw The Mauskovic Dance Band’s Nic Mauskovic introduced the wonderful world of Nicolini with ‘Penni’s Palace’, released by Amsterdam label South of North. Picture this; funky zebra-chairs, colorful television screens and, of course, at the very center, a Casio keyboard filling the air with dub drenched jams.
7-10pm
