Inviting The Producer is the title under which HIIIT joins forces with a new generation of creators — digital natives who make music using laptops and think in terms of sound and samples.

The percussion ensemble from The Hague has long ventured beyond classical boundaries. For example, the group adapted the music of renowned footwork producer JLIN for concert halls.

Earlier this year, volume 2 of the collaborative SIIIX EP was released on resident Brussels label Maloca Records. Once again, HIIIT opened up its extensive collection of percussion instruments, offering up a vast and dynamic sample bank of drum recordings to a cluster of hand-picked, rhythmically-focussed artists such as 3Phaz, Zoë Mc Pherson, and Rrose. For Abrupt Festival (formerly known as Nuits Sonores), four of HIIIT’s musicians will team up with Rrose and upsammy during an exclusive collaborative live set. Prepare yourself for an adventurous ritual of hypnotising rhythms and organic soundscapes.
