The Melting Hours by Wata Igarashi and Kuniyuki invites you into a space where boundaries dissolve and sound becomes a fluid, dreamlike experience. Expect razor-sharp sound design, hypnotic warmth, and deep, psychedelic tension.
Named after Dalí’s surreal clock, which symbolises the fragile and subjective nature of time, this live set encourages you to abandon linearity. It’s an invitation to surrender to the idea that moments are not fixed but melting, folding into each other and blending the past, present, and future into one continuous pulse.
Wata and Kuniyuki welcome you into the intangible, as they explore how sound shapes perception. Are we moving through this together or wandering individual dreamscapes? Perhaps both. Perhaps neither. In this shared moment, presence is at the very core.
Wata Igarashi’s background spans skate-punk, jazz, and electronic experimentation, bringing a distinct energy and a strong sense to push boundaries. His sets unfold as journeys without end, framing each moment within the endless flow of time.
Partnered with Kuniyuki Takahashi, a master of organic textures, deep grooves, and global influences, the collaboration promises a sound that is both rooted and expansive. Moments of stillness, bursts of ecstasy, and ebbing and flowing tension together define the experience.
It’s a dream come true to have these two masterminds craft their world of sonic surrealism at Draaimolen. This set will breathe life into Moon and set the tone for all the hours that will melt away here during the weekend.
‘The Persistence of Memory’ by Salvador Dalí.
In the quiet moments between thought and sensation, time begins to shift. Moments slip through fingers, stretching endlessly or vanishing in an instant.
