When it’s the birthday of our King Willem even we can’t sit still. That’s why for this Sonoor we’re doing things a little differently, programming not two but four very talented DJ’s.

Ays and Kuriosa share a love for the soulful. Through endless crate digging and careful curation they play only the finest collection of organic and uplifting sounds. The result will surely make you feel all warm and fuzzy, as anyone can attest who has ever been to Love Transmission, the intimate disco club night they host together.

Crate digger and producer extraordinaire Glenn Hill teams up with multi-talent Bob Roche, who, in addition to DJ’ing, also plays bass in the highly recommendable disco band Another Taste. Expect a danceable mix of Brazilian boogie, disco with irresistible vocals and 70ies funk with bass lines warm as august.

We’ll start the night off with tables and chairs, but move them to the side when we start feeling a little dancy.

It’s the night when everything is orange - including our wine list! We will serve a sneak peak of our new wine menu with a showcase of our orange wine selection, with a special King’s Night 20% discount on all bottles.

We are getting ready for the third edition of our beloved Sonoor Listening Bar. It’s time for some spring cleaning in the record bags of Ezra V and DJ FRM who will showcase their finds on Friday 22 March.

Ezra V is an electronic music producer and co-founder of the Rotterdam based label and collective ‘Bound Centre’. He likes to step outside for new sonic adventures- from live sessions to special cassette releases. This may sound like a walk in the park, but it’s far from a leisurely stroll. He is always looking for the right balance between modern club sounds and his love for the more atmospheric ambient tracks and noise music.

Going outside is good for the mind and DJ FRM is like that breath of fresh air in the Rotterdam music scene. With his Operator Radio show ‘Full Range Motion’ he tends to exercise the ears of the listeners with special collaborations between talented artists and friends. His work at the Clone Records family helps him to snatch some of the more rare releases, often translated into thoughtful and inward focused moments as well as more high-energy and hypnotic techno sets. He really did find his own way through a rabbit hole of amazing music.

Free entrance

The Forest Talks is a two part art presentation by writer Dirk Vis and artist Timaeus, both of whom have a shared fascination for the polish primeval forest of Białowieża. They have been coming, going and living there at various times as part of their making process for stories and films, and they will present some of their behind-the-scenes experiences. Timaeus’ latest film work “Martyrs of the Anthropocene” (featured at IFFR) was partly shot there, while Vis has based various ‘natural science fiction’ stories on his experiences in and with the forest. There will be time for a short reading, as well as questions and discussion around the theme of the talking forest.

Free entrance

Join us Saturday 2 March for Museumnacht010 and experience our new exhibition Design Sediments, as well as the performance Soundtracks of No Return and open studios of Huidenclubs residents.

During Museumnacht010, our new exhibition Design Sediments, curated by artist and designer Leo Orta and Centre Pompidou design curator Olivier Zeitoun will be open to view. In addition to the exhibition, a screening will be shown in the small cube.

Soundtracks of No Return is a non-linguistic performance consisting of melismatic lamentations, and sonic landscapes between artists Ayo and Yanik Soland. The collaboration between these artists weaves diverse cultural threads and subjective influences into an emotive pilgrimage transmitted through glass-blown and hand-fabricated sculptures. 

20:00 - 23:00 Open Studios, Music and Drinks

21:30 Performance Soundtracks of No Return by Ayo and Yanik Soland

Tickets via Museumnacht010 website

The next edition of Sonoor Listening Bar is here. Get ready to submerge in an ocean of sound with 恵杜 Katie and Mowgli on Friday 23 February.

As a Tokyo-born dj, Katie translates her own cultural roots into musical expression. She is well known around Rotterdam for performances with a wide spectrum of styles -from lush ambient to more funk and groove - so we’re curious what might bubble up from her record bag.

Like a fish in the water, Mowgli brings seemingly endless combinations of funk and boogie from the 80’s, Italo disco and earlier Chicago house. The waters really do run deep with his record selection, because he also loves to lean towards dark and the gritty leftfield sounds. Ride the wave with us, it’s worth it.

A listening session is nothing without audiophile-grade speakers. Returning once again are the custom, hand-crafted speakers from Huidenclub resident and designer Jonas Lutz. He’s constantly updating the system, so returning visitors might find themselves immersed in something completely different each time around.

Free entrance.

Join us on Saturday 3 February for an exclusive Art Rotterdam Party hosted by the Huidenclub for Rotterdam Art Week 2024. We will welcome Rotterdam-based DJs dirtydms and Helmond Lang to the decks for a dynamic b2b set and a night of dancing.

Dirtydms finds herself between inflated chromatic artworks and a wide selection of contemporary electronic productions, part of a rich niche of talents rooted in Rotterdam's nightlife community. From ambient to grime, idm and footwork, dirtydms portrays that broad colourful spectrum typical of a 3D designer, experimenting all possible intersections within digital art.

Rotterdam-based Helmond Lang is always looking for the right contrast to create a new kind of balance. As a stylist she combines stylistic elements with different histories; a mindset which also extends to her musical taste. Highly influenced by the UK scene she mixes sounds inspired by Hiphop, Jazz, Dub, Reggae, Jungle and everything in between. Combining this with more contemporary bass focussed IDM, she knows how to create eclectic and unique sets.

Doors open from 22:00 - 03:00
Entrance 5 EUR.

Join us on Wednesday 31 January from 18:00-21:00 for the opening of our upcoming exhibition Design Sediments, curated by artist and designer Leo Orta (FR/UK/AR) and Centre Pompidou design curator Olivier Zeitoun (FR).

Design Sediments gathers together fourteen artists and designers who explore the contemporary dimensions of sedimentation and larger-than-human time scales. Through extensive explorations of objects and material as interrelated components of earth’s landscapes, the show positions cycles of extraction, production and destruction in relation to ecological and geological conditions. Through this careful selection of works deriving from material research, Design Sediments projects possibilities for sedimentary pasts and futures through a weaving entanglement of temporalities embedded within objects and their polychronic reality.

We are excited to invite you to join us for this year’s Huidenclub New Year’s Eve Party with a full lineup of DJs through the evening and into the new year. With:

Join us on Friday 24 November for the presentation of new collection by POViS.

POViS captures the uncomfortable duality of identity in his new collection 'The Familiar Other'. He explores the split in character during adolescence when habits, rituals or clothes from our younger lives start to feel off and no longer like our own, or the condition of living in a different city or as part of a diaspora where one's demeanour doesn’t match the outside reality.

Throughout the evening there will be two back-to-back screenings of film 'The Familiar Other'.

On Thursday 2 November we are very excited to bring you our next Masterclass with Huidenclub residents Supertoys Supertoys.

The art duo are all set to host this insightful evening showcasing the profound infusion of Radical Cuteness into their artistic language, all while diving into the merging of the digital and physical realms within their intuitive approach. Supertoys Supertoys will delve into some of the opportunities, constraints and inherent tensions that surface when working across both the digital and physical realms and talk about how their mission and vision regarding their concept of Radical Cuteness came about.

Join us on Thursday 18 November for the opening of Occult Economics, a group show curated by Yannik Güldner.

Occult Economics aims to uncover the absurdity that can be found in today's global financial systems by questioning its idea of value. Motivated by his background working in the financial industry prior to this, curator Yannik Güldner is intrigued by the possibility of exploring the occult powers that keep this system going and linking the art world to the global financial markets.

Join us on Saturday 18 November for the launch of new book by Silvio Lorusso entitled What Design Can’t Do.

Design is broken. Young and not-so-young designers are becoming increasingly aware of this. Many feel impotent: they were told they had the tools to make the world a better place, but instead the world takes its toll on them. This book probes the disillusionment that permeates design. To depict this disheartening crisis, he crafts a new critical vocabulary for readers to build upon.

There will also be delicious tajines by De Duurzame Wereldkeuken available after the book launch, as the opening of Occult Economics begins.

Join us on Wednesday 15 November for a fundraiser dinner to raise money for the Amazigh villages in Morocco.

In September, a devastating earthquake hit Morocco. Some of the worst affected communities were the Amazigh villages, deep in the remote Atlas Mountain region where houses and infrastructures were destroyed. Now winter is approaching and many people still do not have somewhere warm or sheltered to sleep. On Wednesday 15 November we will host the second iteration of fundraiser dinners hosted by Lebanese architect-designer-chef Micheline Nahra and South African designer Billy Ernst. The duo will be serving delicious Middle Eastern food, made from recipes handed down by Micheline’s grandmother.

19:30 Event begins, with sit-down dinner.
23:00 Event ends.

Tickets 45 euros, including wine and soft drinks. All proceeds go directly to the fund.
