Cyberia Reunion + Rotersand

Cyberia Reunion returns to De Helling - the reunion of the reunion. Following last year's comeback, the formula remains unchanged: a full night of dancing in pitch darkness to bands, DJs and performances from the dark underground. The bill features German wave icons Rotersand, Rotterdam's EBM powerhouse Machine Command, resident DJs X-X-X & RVR, and the dancers of viXXXen.

Rotersand has been around for nearly a quarter century. The duo made their mark in 2002 as one of the faces of the emerging futurepop movement, but quickly proved to have much more to offer. Their sound combines darkwave, techno, industrial and pop - bombastic and danceable at once.

Machine Command from Rotterdam draws inspiration from the dark corner of Nitzer Ebb, Portion Control and Spetsnaz, keeping the oldschool EBM sound alive. With two albums and two EPs in the past two years, they have more than enough material to make the dancefloor sweat as if it were 1983.

DJ X-X-X, godfather of the Utrecht goth scene, has made De Helling burst at the seams countless times. Tonight he is joined by DJ RVR, Momentum resident and specialist in danceable melancholy. Together they cover the full spectrum of genres ending in -wave.
