We’re very proud to host two local legends - Bendik Baksaas on synthesizers and Thomas Strønen on drums - for a release of the new project they’ve been working on together under the AirChew moniker for the next edition of Tad Club 🌊

Bendik has been one of the biggest supporters and venue’s best friends since we’ve opened our doors for the first time, and we’re always excited to provide him with a platform to perform.

Negin - a rising talent we’ve been really impressed with, will take charge of setting the tone for the night with an opening DJ set.

Before the main event, Bendik and Tessa Martin will host an album release, showcasing their collaboration blending sound healing and electronic waves.
The album release will be free of charge, before the ticketed main event.

AirChew

AirChew plays for the dancefloor. Pure improvisation, riding the waves of the acoustic drums, samplers and modular.

AirChew is live dance music as you’ve never heard it before. The collected rhythmic expertise of Thomas Strønen (top-of-the-shelf drummer, releasing on ECM since before the iPhone) and Ben Bak (underground rave modular hero) makes them an unparalleled supercouple of the club realm. Ben & Thomas loves dancing and have been dedicating their lives to the rhythm since day 1.

Open heart, open ears - accepting risk, rejecting fears.

NEGIN creates deep, hypnotic sets that blend rolling grooves with warm, organic, and slightly spacey textures. Her sound moves between earthy, grounded rhythms and more minimal, atmospheric layers, creating a feeling that is both rooted and expansive. She maintains a steady, consistent groove throughout her sets while gradually building energy and shaping a natural flow that shifts between deep, hypnotic moments and more driving intensity. She also brings a playful touch to her selections and transitions, adding a sense of lightness and curiosity within the journey. For her, it’s all about emotion, presence, and connection—creating a space where people can let go, move freely and fully immerse themselves on the dancefloor.

See you there 🖤
