Hervé

The last time I danced at Panorama Bar was in early June 2023. That night, @djrobmanga played a set that still resonates. An ode to the black roots of electronic dance music. I never imagined playing this room and sound system, and here it is. During Saturday 28.02 Klubnacht, I will be opening the room for 4-hours. Setting the tone of this dance floor. On such a line-up. Surrounded by so many friends, travelling to Berlin for what is planned to be a celebration. It means everything to me to feel their support .. Ready for this dance 🪐 🪢🪢 @futura_artists @steph.andrei

I did not take this moment for granted. It took me some time and preparation. My records of course, but also my body and my mind. That’s what it takes to be able to enjoy the moment, by creating the conditions for it and hope for the spark ✨ Seeing all my friends in Panorama Bar listening to my favorite Jazz records as we settled into the room was an amazing feeling. I took the time to let the music breathe, let the dance floor slowly come together and align frequencies. Playing vinyl for 4-hours, we danced and created heated memories in this very special club where time stops. I would like to thank the crew for a very comforting care, I was put in the best conditions to perform. These past few days were a reminder of how blessed I feel to be surrounded by so much love. I try my best to honour it. To all the friends that joined in Berlin, those that could not and all of you that sent me support messages, thank you 🪷🪷 🃏🃏 @futura_artists @steph.andrei

@draaimolen_ has just started and I could not be more excited. Surrounded by the best rave crew and prepared to explore the festival, dance and discover new sounds :) The Forest Rave holds a special place in my heart. Its trees evoke spirituality, subs firmly grounding, and lights disconnect you from reality. A lot of stories and care create this. It is beautiful to be closing it tomorrow, it’s an honour and a moment of life for me. Hope to have you for this dance 💗 On the second slide a note by Draaimolen. The festival’s future is at risk and a couple of minutes to fill in this petition could save it. The link is in my bio 🫂 Photography by @mariusrnrd

This Saturday @henge.ofc at REC w/ @___herve Hervé’s journey is fueled by curiosity and a deep passion for sharing music and culture. Shaped by his upbringing in Africa and later experiences across Europe, he is now an active part of Amsterdam’s vibrant scene. Tickets available on @xceed_official

I remember very vividly attending my first @__rpu__ rave five years ago in Amsterdam’s Science Park area. Feelings of freedom, creativity and exchange that I still carry with me today. This community offered me so much - friendships, inspiration and care. It’s in challenging times that you value relationships, and this is one that I deeply do. It is a true honour to be part of their beautiful story, and to celebrate this milestone with a bang tomorrow at @defikgarden ! Set time is 01:00 - 03:00. Right after crew members @jonnywednesday , @kidphantastic and @sagiwig and before @courtesy707 closing (!!). Psychedelic ravey sounds to awaken the spirits. Come along for a dance 🧝🏾‍♂️

A summer in between realms ~ A series of shots captured by @mariusrnrd - animated and designed by @geri_______________ . Their friendship and talent offer me new perspectives. I’m incredibly excited to begin this set of performances and to connect with new dancers along the way. Thank you to all the curators and organizers for these invitations, and for bringing me together with such inspiring artists. It’s a truly thrilling process. My upcoming dates from May to July. I hope our paths cross somewhere for a dance! 🐦‍⬛ 9 May • @__rpu__ Fifth Motion at @defikamsterdam (Amsterdam) 16 May • @rec_napoli (Napoli) 23 May • @doka_amsterdam w/ @merve.dj_ (Amsterdam) 29 May • @shunter.space Opening Weekend (Rotterdam) 30 May • @rso.berlin (Berlin) 6 June • @interfering_grounds x @nousklaer_audio at @club.raum (Amsterdam) w/ @oberman_sjoerd 13 June • @creaturecollettivo (Napoli) 27 June • @nousklaer_festival w/ @vladimir_ivkovic (Rotterdam) 5 July • @dtrh_festival (NL) 11 July • @wildeburg (NL) w/ @oliviaxiaolin 25 July • @schamparscheps (Zurich) w/ @ketia4ever @futura_artists 🔖 @steph.andrei

Saturday 16 may @henge.ofc at REC w/ @hectoroaks @___herve @jesooria art exhibition by @raul_hood and new VISIVA by @raulmendez.jpeg Early bird tickets available on @xceed_official

Since the first enchanted gathering that marked our origins, @___herve has been a familiar recurrence and an exceptional supporter of our endeavours. As a close friend and long-time collaborator, his presence has also shaped many memories, sometimes through the sonic spells of @noord_loop , and as a force of his own making. Coming off prestigious appearances at Lente Kabinet and Draaimolen, he carries the reminiscence of forest raves through festivals and clubs. Guided by curiosity and a deep connection to music, his selections move with progressive measure, intertwined with psychedelic textures and subtle melodic detail. Drawing from a wider field beyond the dancefloor, his sets carry a sense of openness and wonder. His imprint continues to run through the fabric of the scene through the @polychrome_audio record label and the @noordspace community playground, bringing consistency to the creative exchange in Amsterdam and across distant music realities. Don’t miss out on May 9th. You can bet he’ll reserve something special for the occasion. Tickets available via link in bio Date: 9th May 2026 Time: 21:00 – 05:00 Location: @defikgarden Photography by @mariusrnrd and @lisanne.raw

This one touches home. A few weeks ago in Berlin, I recorded a radio show on @refugeworldwide in celebration of Black History Month. This selection of records is an invitation to travel and discover music which identity is rooted in West-Africa. Music that I grew up with and that is part of who I am. I hope that you enjoy the stories that I share and open up to the beauty of music that is deeply political and full of hope. Thanks @richardakingbehin and the team for organising such a warm and welcoming moment 🌍 • Link in my bio and list of songs below • Fasokan - Terriya Seke Molenga & Kabo Kalongolo - African Roots Ambient Warrior - Dub Lounge Ruffy & Tuffy - Third Wold War is a Must Mad Professor - Ras Mas Fela Kuti - Colonial Mentality Gasper Lawal Adjomacé - Oro-Moro Ernesto Djédjé - Nini Tchiss-Lopes - Hoje Um Ta Longe Dora Morelenbaum - Nao Vou Te Esquecer Rogê - Existe Uma Voz Mayra Andrade - Vapor Di Imigration

I will play music that carry the incredible energy of our continent and its people, an energy that travels. Afrobeat, reggae, traditional Ivorian sounds, samba, jazz… everyday music. love this :)) Tune in if you have the time !! This photo was taken in Grand-Bassam, Côte d’Ivoire. Beautiful coastal fishermen village an hour away from Abidjan. Its architecture shows the marks of the country’s colonial past, slowly taken over by nature. Sweet sweet, Fanta Diallo 🎶
