At a stage of his career where many others might settle into a predictable flow, Daniel Lopatin continues to burst the banks of expectation, flooding out and forming new tributaries of strange cybernetic sounds. November saw the release on the iconic Warp Records of his 11th studio album, the critically acclaimed Tranquilizer (2025) – a slightly misleading title, considering how revitalising and energetic it is. From soft synthesizer swells and ambient strings to sweltering percussive builds and bursts of clattering maximalism, Lopatin's music remains a contested site of both sensitive storytelling and chaotic playfulness. A true artisan of worldbuilding through sound and of playing with overlooked and forgotten sonic materials, for Tranquilizer, Lopatin quite literally assembled the music from the wreckage of commercial sample CDs, salvaged from the Internet Archive. As with much of his work, he draws humanity out from these otherwise innocuous sources of mellotron muzak, warbly melody, and chorus-drenched guitar. For Rewire’s 15th anniversary edition, Oneohtrix Point Never makes his return to the festival. Accompanied by celebrated visual artist Freeka Tet, OPN presents a live performance built around the new album. Any of those graced by the OPN performance at Rewire two years ago will know to expect the unexpected. Catch this Netherlands-exclusive performance at Rewire in Amare's grandiose Concertzaal.

Please note: For the concert of Oneohtrix Point Never on Friday 10 April, a Plus Ticket is required (€4,50, including service and transaction costs). For further information, check here.
