Nguzunguzu
In William Gibson’s cyberpunk classic Neuromancer, the all-powerful A.I. wires into a space cruiser sound-system run by outlaw Rastafarians, blasting a riddim so irresistible it conjures up visions of Babylon. This side of the singularity, Nguzunguzu’s digital excursions might be as close as we’ll get to Gibson’s sonic rapture: the DJ duo taps into the collective memory banks of dub, island sounds, and west-coast R&B to create energetic dance music.

The Bruce Sterling Key Note and College Tour, the presentations of Francois Pachet and Marco Marchini and the Impakt Club Nights are part of the Residenties in Utrecht program.

Together with city podia and festivals, Utrecht City of Music is introducing a new initiative: Residencies in Utrecht. Big names from the world of music, film and the written and visual arts will come specially to Utrecht to share their vision and experience with the City. In workshops, master classes and performances, the appealing, often international artists will appear on local podia, at local festivals and artistic training programmes. Their flown-in vision, knowledge and experience will lift young talent to a higher plane and inspire new ideas. The guests of the Residencies in Utrecht bring collaboration, inspiration and depth to the City. www.utrechtmuziek.nl/residenties
