TODAY 4-10pm Vol. 6 of 14x21 ~ Ambient settles slowly into the dark. Six hours, three selectors, afternoon into night. Most know Nosedrip from STROOM, the Ostend label he’s built into one of Western Europe’s most essential, and from his shape-shifting club sets. But his monthly NTS show features the same digger in a quieter register: new age folded into kosmische, French psych slipping into drone, dream pop holding the seams. Tonight is that Nosedrip. Hometown hero Luke Mele has been broadcasting on NTS for years now, and tuning in feels like wandering into a friend’s living room: unshowy, generous, with absurd reach. Guitar tones and jazz on the surface; underneath, dub, balearic, modern classical, post-rock. Everything in its right place.  14x21 resident Znc returns with another long arc: voices, haze, wormholes, the spaces between. Expect French avant-folk on hurdy gurdy, lost ‘90s ambient trance, and stones rung as instruments inside a German cathedral. A soft immersive gathering for slow disappearance. Your silence (indoors) is once again appreciated. Space is intimate and limited. Sound by CSW. Mediterranean food from Twentieth Street Garden in the backyard. See you soon :))

✹ NOSEDRIP ✹ A decade in Stroom, and a lifetime steeped in notes, Nosedrip is widely regarded as one of Belgium’s finest curators, operating on a level of his own. As a DJ, Nosedrip turns dancefloors into collective dreamscapes with sets, that draw dancers into strange, shifting places, where bizarre rhythms and hypnotic pulses weave a spell on body and spirit. He can be your go-to wave pop selector, dive headfirst into new beat, house and techno or ingeniously show you a world of ambient, indie and experimental sounds. His NTS show often takes a quieter tone, leaning into an expressive zone where the belgian can thrive. For the very first time, Nosedrip goes B2B with @optimoespacio this summer at Eternal Sun, come join the fun! Eternal Sun Festival 4-7th September | Sougia, Crete Tickets now on sale through RA

Fixing the grid! Low Jack - Lacrimosa STRLP-114. Deeply tied to the composer’s own life, the narrative of Lacrimosa invites reflection in the face of loss. This sonic work draws inspiration from Alice Coltrane’s spiritual Eternity (1976) as well as the traditional structure of the Requiem, a mass for the dead. One of its sections, the Dies Irae, evokes Judgment Day and concludes with the Lacrimosa (literally, “full of tears”), depicting the weeping of souls in search of salvation. In Lacrimosa, Low Jack transforms autobiographical elements into a messianic, polyglot form, unfolding across eight movements that chart the storms and serenity of grief. The piece unfolds from dawn to dusk, as the eyes open and then close. An initiatory solar cycle, from which one returns like Dante in his Divine Comedy, transcendent yet grief-stricken by the loss of a guiding presence. Low Jack crafts one of his most intimate compositions, weaving together musical archetypes and universal narrative structures, drawing from both classical lyrical music and pop standards. released November 4, 2025 Composed by Low Jack. Lyrics by Mélanie Matranga. Vocal Arrangements and Co-Production by Nicolas Worms Singers: Jeanne Zaepffel, Julia Jerosme, Max Latarjet, Mélanie Matranga and Low Jack.

Fixing the grid / I have some catching up to do. Night School & Stroom released the latest Susannah Stark & Band album! ‘Minor Gestures’ will be out ww on October 14th, 2025 LSSN102 / STRLP-113 Drifting in on a stream of birdsong, synths and field recordings of rivers, Susannah Stark posits questions from the outset of Minor Gestures, her second studio album. Sung in both Gàidhlig and English, Stark is in constant dialogue with her surroundings, with history, mythology and with the listener on her second album for cult label Stroom of Brussels and Glasgow’s Night School. Recorded with an ensemble curated from the worlds of experimental and folkloric music in her adopted city, Minor Gestures is an omni-directional conversation, open-ended and infused with curiosity and sensitivity. Using primarily acoustic instruments and folk modalities, the songs here display an almost preternatural confidence as Stark shifts perspectives and narratives throughout. Songwriting and Arrangement: Susannah Stark Gàidhlig songwriting support: Babs NicGriogair (on Caochan, Dithis phriosanach, Ceistean gun freagairtean) Pádraig Moireach (Trì stiùirichean) Vocals: Susannah Stark (All tracks) Cinder (Mu choinneamh, ri taobh) Modular Synth sampling, harmonium, field recordings: Susannah Stark Trumpet: Philip Cardwell.
