Composer, musician, and producer Raül Refree and key contemporary flamenco figure Niño de Elche performed their dreamlike electronic reimagining of flamenco and beyond in a Dutch premiere at Rewire 2026. Following two touching performances at the festival, the duo return to The Hague later this year for Rewire x Korzo #26. After five years of touring together, Refree and de Elche released their first collaborative album together in late 2025. Cru+es brings together the mutant flamenco-infused electronica of Refree – who has produced for and collaborated with artists such as Rosalía and Sílvia Pérez Cruz – with the booming yet sensitive vocals of Niño de Elche – a stalwart of and beloved figure in Spanish avant-garde music. In a collision of tradition and futurity, the duo envision a new kind of flamenco sound where stirring, emotive vocals and palm-muted nylon strings get cozy next to galactic synthesis, heartworn ambience, and big, bassy production. What emerges from this unlikely yet somehow perfect joining of sounds is a distorted and ethereal kind of post-pop that bears little resemblance to other contemporary song-making approaches.
Rewire and Korzo proudly bring Visible Cloaks to The Hague for Rewire x Korzo #26. Since transforming from "Cloaks" to "Visible Cloaks" in 2014, musicians Spencer Doran and Ryan Carlile have carved out a sonic practice which delves deep into a wealth of contradictions and dichotomies: between organic and artificial, between chance and intention, and between the authentic and the replicated. These paradoxes are heard in full effect in their most recent album on label RVNG Intl., Paradessence (2026), their third full-length. Pristine electro-acoustic recordings are treated, processed, and arranged, allowing a curious cybernetic organism to squirm into life before listeners' very ears. The gentle fragility of the arrangements are matched only by their confident grandiosity, culminating in a work of vast scale and heart where voice and instrument meld with ambient experimentation and vibrational composition. They are joined at At Rewire x Korzo #26 with two instrumentalists and with accompanying visuals.
At Rewire x Korzo #26, violinist, singer, and composer Diamanda Dramm presents Chimp, an unfurling collection of creaking and poetic chamber-pop that speaks and sings to contemporary anxieties and joys. Grown furtively around Dramm's voice and violin, Chimp sees her take on the role of an apocalyptic storyteller at the threshold between these times and the times to come. At points, background voices swarm and shudder like a locust plague, a foreboding omen, before Dramm's voice shatters the noise and paves the way for stirring ambience and softly sung musings on the ever-morphing world around her. Chimp touches on themes of inter-species kinship, overpopulation, and death, all told within a story she herself proclaims as taking place "in a state of extremely slow emergency." Sung with soulful solace and played with a masterful touch, her music for voice and violin glimmers with hopeful intention and critical curiosity.
