Hard Daze Night is an outrageously fresh club night in Club 8. It was lifted by two legal aliens in exile in Amsterdam Gary Shepherd. (DJ Alec Smart) from UK and Maxim Chapochnikov (DJ Goldfinger) from Russia, both djs and music fanatics. For the love of music they joined forces at indie label KidNap Records and scored a few hits picked up by the likes of 2 Many DJs and Stéphane Pompougnac (Hôtel Costes). Goldfinger is a man behind salonUSSR and Moskow Diskow, who sucks on his roots and loves groovy music from around the world. Alec Smart does irresistibly catchy remixes under the name Streamer as a part of StreamerPilot team, makes music for movies and theatre, but most of all exercises his excellent skills on the dance floor as a CDJ wizard.

Hard Daze Night stands for the sound of now. That is fresh and spicy, furious and ecstatic, beautiful and indecent, groovy and spanking. Think wobbly electro, baile funk, Baltimore, UK funky, dubstep, gypsy electro, tropical tech and hip swing.

For the Doggy Style edition of Hard Daze Night on May 7 those dressed in a dog fashion get a free entrance.

SPSound, Videoinferno & Moskow Diskow present a special screening of rare archival material, Cold War Space Race newsreels and propaganda films from the USSR national archives, with a live soundtrack performed by OMFO and an after party with Moskow Diskow inter-galactic-neo-romantic dj’s DiskoMachina & Goldfinger in the cafe of SSP.

Gogi Dzodzuashvili alias Post Industrial Boys
Georgian poet/ composer Gogi Dzodzuashvili alias Post Industrial Boys creates subtle futuristic electronic ballads both swinging and meditative, along with live acoustic guitar. It's a mix of easy listening tunes and melodious spoken word vocals, revealing unique Georgian melancholy under the surface of the playful lightness.
In the last 12 years Gogi released 6 albums with various vocalists and wrote music for theater and film.
Marika Asatiani is at the moment a resident artist at Rijksakademie van Beeldende Kunsten in Amsterdam. She will do a visual accompaniment to Gogi's musical performance.

OMFO
“100% proof oddness from German Popov aka OMFO aka Our Man From Odessa. OMFO has been exploring the under-reported world of Central Asian musics since the beginning of the decade, achieving some fame with the inclusion of two tracks from his 2004 'Trans Balkan Express' LP on the Sascha Baron Cohen film, 'Borat'. For his thrird album 'Omnipresence' OMFO has tripped back to the steppes of his original homelands to record everything from traditional folk melodies to the restaurant bands of Tashkent and their tinny keyboards. If, like us you're infatuated with the Sublime Frequncies Radio series you'll get an exotic kick out of this”. (The Telegraph)
The OMFO band includes German Popov (eletronics, flutes, vocals), Faiz Guzainov (violin, keyboards), Bakhtiyar Eybaliyev (percs, vocals), Dmytro Beloyartsev (buzuk, rabab), Gogi Dzodzuashvili (bass), Dejan Zaric (percussion).
