What is even more fun than one night of Rauw-ishness? That’s right, THREE NIGHTS RAUW! That’s why the second weekend in April will be the called the RAUWEEKENDER (8th, 9th and 10th of April), which is already the fourth year in a row. It’s already common to be able to call it a super-tradition as you can expect great artists to perform this weekend. RAUW-chairman Joost van Bellen will be presenting three night containing live-acts and DJ’s who will push you to the boundaries of dirty dance, fatttt disco and electricity. New this year will be the RAUWEEKENDER AFTERPARTY.

RAUWEEKENDER
Thursday 8th of April, Tivoli De Helling (Utrecht)
AEROPLANE, RORY PHILLIPS, M.E.N. & SHOUT OUT OUT OUT OUT
The first night of the RAUWEEKENDER will have a great start with Aeroplane, the Belgian dj-duo that create magic out of nowhere and will let everybody on the dance floor shake its groove out. Cosmic Disco, Balkan, Psychedelic guitars – everything that makes you having a surreal and awesome experience. English lad Rory Philips – along with fancy headphones – has superbly pleased crowds for years in the London club Trash and is doing that very thing now at the follow-up Durrr. You can expect the biggest elektronica mixed with some ol’ raw sounds and effects! M.E.N. is a band/dj-collective from New York, coming from le Tigre, with some nice raggaehouse. Also make sure to take a look at their stage act! Shout Out Out Out Out consists of two drummers, four bassists, a sampler, eleven synthesizers and three vocoders. As they are describing it themselves: neurotic dance music!

RAUWEEKENDER
Friday 9th of April, Tivoli De Helling (Utrecht)
MR. OIZO, RIVA STARR, THE WALK & ROGERSEVENTYTWO
On the second night of RAUWEEKENDER Joost van Bellen created… Mr. Oizo, the legend and French producer of the big hit Flat Beat, with which he created a new genre on his own. After that he has produced numerous of known tracks, of whom also tracks from Uffie, who is to be watched on the Saturday. Riva Starr is a dj-producer from Italy, who “fell in a gypsy bucket when he was a baby and apparently never got out”, creating as much balkan, folk en gypsy as possible. The in The Hague based dj-duo The Walk & Rogerseventytwo will also be playing, who both have a soft spot for the French sound from Daft Punk and… Mr. Oizo.

RAUWEEKENDER
Saturday 10th of April, Tivoli De Helling (Utrecht)
GOOSE (LIVE), UFFIE (LIVE), GREEN VELVET, HARVARD BASS, JOOST VAN BELLEN
The third night of the RAUWEEKENDER is the most varied one, with for instance the great Belgian band Goose: rough rock ’n roll with electronic & eighties-influences. From Paris the American Uffie will be visiting us. A fierce lady who has found herself a crew at the Ed Banger-label. We will also be having a legend this night: Green Velvet; Kraftwerk and Prince melted in a single hipster-house pioneer. His country mate Harvard Bass has two faces: elegant minimal house on the one side and bad-ass ghetto grooves on the other side. RAUW-boss DJ Joost van Bellen will make this RAUWEEKENDER complete with finishing the third evening!
