X-rated ambient stage

Saturday afternoon, hours before Cyberia takes control over the Spiegelbar, the KinkFM radioshow X-Rated hosts a special programme of ambient. The X-Rated radio show on KinkFM is one of the most special, beautiful, dark and obscure radio shows that exist in the Netherlands. Every Sunday at 21:00 you can tune-in to X-Rated on KinkFM Radio. X-Rated was founded in 1995 by late Arjen Grolleman. Of-course, just as last year Summer Darkness features the X-Rated stage again where this year the dark ambient acts: Phelios and Allseits will present their new albums. Drone musician Nina Kemicke a.k.a. Allseits takes her inspiration from the deepest and darkest undertows of the human soul, and looks for the width and depth in sounds that seem to come straight out of hell. Her ultra-minimal music is like a vast gas cloud that washes over you, elusive but inescapable and piercing right through everything. Phelios is the alias of the German musician Martin Stürtzer, who makes noisy dark ambient. First, he released his music himself, free on the internet, which led him to get signed by quality labels such as Eternal Soul and Loki Found. His music consists of long soundscapes, without rythm or melody, beautifully deep and layered sound fields that have a thrilling, very subtle dynamic.
