Visual Frequencies at Nxt: Sandwell District, Planetary Assault Systems, Nadia Struiwigh
A radical act of resistance and reinvention unfolds as Nxt Museum hosts the debut of a new concept by Luke Slater, Regis (Karl O’Connor) and Function (Dave Summer) - a groundbreaking showcase premiering at Nxt that reimagines the club experience through extended live performances and immersive visual storytelling.
This inaugural event welcomes the long-awaited return of Sandwell District. Regis and Function reunite for a rare hybrid performance that reactivates the collective’s uncompromising minimal-industrial techno, accompanied by archival visuals from the late Silent Servant (Juan Mendez), whose spectral presence extends the collective’s legacy into haunting visual form.
Planetary Assault Systems, Luke Slater’s legendary alias, will deliver a one-off, two-hour live exploration of industrial textures and hypnotic futurism—techno that has defined and continually pushes the genre’s boundaries.
Dutch artist Nadia Struiwigh opens the programme and brings ambient electronica and experimental techno into dialogue with Infinite Vibes’ enveloping projections, guiding audiences into altered states. Visuals across the night are further shaped by Sophia Bulgakova, whose practice merges AI, XR, and cultural storytelling into charged atmospheres.
Together, these performances redefine techno as more than sound: it becomes architecture, memory, and resistance. This is electronic music stripped of safety nets - where every element is performed live, sets are extended to allow deeper artistic exploration, and local artists are integrated to create a genuinely immersive, city-specific experience. Join us for a night that bends time and perception, where intensity and absence coexist, and where one of techno’s most elusive collectives reclaims its stage.

Most festival events have an age limit of 18+ (and sometimes even 21+ or 23+). These are Dutch governmental rules which state that below the age of 18 you are not allowed to enter a club.
Please double-check the promoter's or venue's website to be sure you can access the event!
Yes, the Pro Pass grants you access to all ADE official festival events. Even if a festival event is sold out, you can still access the event with your ADE Pro Pass wristband. During ADE there are over 500 festival events and hundreds more cultural and conference events you can enter with the wristband. One thing to keep in mind is that there is a limited capacity that each venue can take into account for ADE Pro wristband holders. This means that, for some of the more crowded events, you have to arrive early to ensure attendance. Once capacity is reached, ADE Pro holders will be let into the event on a one in-one-out basis.
We dance together, so please be mindful of yourself and each other. We expect an open attitude from our visitors towards other guests, regardless of their origin, gender, sexual orientation, religion and age. If you see or experience any unwanted attention, harassment or behavior of any kind that makes you uncomfortable, please speak out and notify staff.
