DUBAI: Freaks of Nature, Saudi Arabia’s music festival, is back for its latest edition this weekend in Riyadh.
Dutch DJs Basicz and NoTune are set to take the stage at the two-day outdoor music festival, returning for the second time to perform in the Kingdom.
“Our last visit to Saudi Arabia was a real blast. The warmth and hospitality we received from the people there was incredible. We are really looking forward to experiencing this again. Furthermore, being part of this concept that is shaping the music scene in Saudi Arabia is not only exciting, it is an honor. We are really excited to play a role in shaping the future of music culture in this country,” the duo said in an email interview with Media.
Both DJs – who also have strong careers as solo artists – enjoy the collaborative process of working together.
“Collaborating has been a real adventure. Since the beginning of our career, we have been creating music together. It’s been an incredible journey that has allowed us to build a unique musical connection,” said DJ Basicz.
“When we’re together in the studio or on stage, it’s like we have this unspoken understanding that allows the creative process to flow effortlessly. It’s not just about making music, it’s about pushing each other to new heights. We challenge ourselves to explore uncharted territories and combine our strengths to create a show that is not only diverse, but also emotionally resonant.
While NoTune tends to lean towards the darker, more adventurous side of techno music, DJ Basicz likes to explore the industrial and raw aspects of the genre.
“We realized that our diverse approaches allowed us to deliver a rich and diverse experience to our audience,” said DJ Basicz.
For their upcoming show at Freaks of Nature, which takes place on October 5 and 6, DJ Basicz and DJ Notune are “pulling out all the stops.”
“We’re putting on a set that not only fits in perfectly with the other talented artists on our stage, but also promises to take the crowd on a wild ride. We add a few surprises and this characteristic energy which has become our trademark. It’s going to be a unique experience, a musical journey that you don’t want to end,” they said.
