halloween: ball of the (un)dead

From the capital of Iran, our Tehran-born friend, usually spotted on the dancefloor in front of the decks, grew up in Germany, with his first experience of the power of electronic music made at Fusion. His fascination with stepping behind the decks truly unfolded after moving to the Netherlands, his new home, where he found himself surrounded by local talents he calls brothers and sisters, mentors, and his biggest inspiration. New to the scene and in search of his signature, Anvari loves to surprise the crowd with a journey through house, minimal, and techno, drifting between levitating grooves and deeper, more hypnotic soundscapes.

As a member of the Enschede-based house music concept @bootsandcuts, Anvari has been spotted serving local dancefloors such as @tuinrel, @basicgrooves, and @onderderadarfestival with minimal- and house-inspired selections. At the same time, as member of techno collective @_punt, his sound leans strongly into techno: raw, immersive, and story-driven, focused on hypnosis, tension, and release. Alongside his work behind the decks, he is also co-founder of ANTIA, the only club in the east of the country (@antia.club) - a space built on freedom, control, and the shared experience of electronic music.

Time to float, groove, stamp, jump, forget, remember, express.

Behind Augenblick DJ is Augustus van Stokkum, a key figure in the Enschede music community and co-founder of local collectives De Verdieping, Das Hausfest, and D0K53.

Years of living across the globe heavily shape his musical identity, allowing him to navigate diverse genres and tempos with ease. His versatility and community spirit are at the heart of his SoundCloud series, (Ein) Augenblick in booth with..., having welcomed over 30 local artists into his home studio to record sets. From forgotten world classics to cutting-edge electronic tracks, Augenblick offers a refreshing journey you won't hear anywhere else.
