14:15 NOEMI CALZAVARA (PERFORMANCE ARTIST)

12:00 LAURA KAMPMAN (LIVE SET)
New age/concrète and impromptu songs that conjure a shimmering, cathartic sound world. Laura hooks up four phones to a mixer and turns voice notes and location recordings into a beautiful weave of found sounds.

13:30 SPURN (LIVE)
With the -Two Dimensional- taperelease on KapitaalRecords (check our shop:) freshly engraved in our minds, the young and dumb kids of SPURN return to Kapitaal for the Hangout. Their sound: Uplifting eggpunk with a nasty edge of snearing synths... Come and join the pit.
14:00 TALA DRUM CORPS B2B LUKE COHLEN
After their superfun 2023 hangout DJ-set, we just wanted these buddies back for another danceble, exciting and weird musicmixage on the Kapitaal dancefloor.
14:45 CITRUKS (LIVE)
Emotion first, meaning second, Citruks brings disruptive songs with an art pop, art rock feel. Intuitively stitching and deconstructing their writing in Dutch mother tongue over a mix of sparse electronics, bass guitar and percussion. Eighties post-punk influences with a touch of Smartlap.
