Rotterdam Underground

BBC Radio 3 - Late Junction, Rotterdam Underground

Rotterdam-resident journalist Richard Foster profiles the city's scene with Nick Luscombe.

Rotterdam resident and journalist Richard Foster profiles the city’s alternative scene with Nick Luscombe.

‘A mix of brutal pop and experiment’ - that’s the state of Rotterdam’s alternative music scene according to journalist and resident Richard Foster, who shares the sounds of the city’s underground with Nick Luscombe. Guitar racket and lo-fi frenzy abounds: Marijn Verbiesen (aka Red Brut) blends tape noise and field recordings, and the punk is as abrasive as you might expect from a band called Neighbours Burning Neighbours.

Plus, Nick takes us into another urban world through the Seoul soundscape evoked by Park Jiha, and a reworking of the music of Australian songwriter Penelope Trappes by Mogwai.
