DESCRIPTION:
Since 1992, eRikm has extended the field of artistic experimentation on the international scene. Quickly recognised as a virtuoso turntablist and sound artist (1996), eRikm has made a long life habit of crossing all territories and « world-systems » deemed "independent" and "institutional". He deals with sounds like living organisms, constantly in flux, always open to the risk of accident or delight/unison. As he plays with all these contradictions in his improvisations, his performance reaches new heights of intensity, trading off both understanding and sensation, seriousness and farce, anticipation and instinct.

dj sniff believes in the instrumental autonomy of the turntable and the musicianship of the DJ. He explores new directions in turntable music through techniques in Hip-Hop turntablism and utilizing custom-built software and hardware tools. He is currently the Artistic Director of STEIM, Amsterdam.
