    Monday 7 Sept 2026 | help a young, local animator & a dreamy music release from Délage
    Sep 7 2026
    An alternative siren, help a young, local animator reach 100 subscribers, and a dreamy new release from Amsterdam-based trio, Délage.

    Show notes:
    • This month's message from an Amsterdammer is from Lennox, asking people to follow his animation channel, Lennox Land, on YouTube and help him get to 100 followers. It would make him super happy. Go to: https://www.youtube.com/@LennoxM29YT and hit subscribe.
    • Our spotlighted music track this month is You by Amsterdam-based trio, Délage. You can also hear from band member, Till, as he gives a special message for Sound of Hope this September about the meaning behind their latest album.
    • About the band: Délage makes dark, motorik dream pop, singing in English, German and Dutch. Their latest album, Another Day, had a release party at OCCII in Amsterdam this June, and the LP is available through bandcamp or bought in a hand full of record stores (Red Light Records, Concerto, San Serriffe and Flesch Records in Amsterdam.
    • In the words of Aidan Wall (rewire Festival): "Another Day uses the holes that appear in one's life-fabric as a frame through which to bear witness to timeless themes like love, hierarchies, aging, precarity, and escapism ... From within the shadowy uncertainty of modern life, Délage shine a beam outwards with their melodies, their words, their songs – each is glinted with a sense of hope and potential and lights the way to somewhere new."

    🎶 Sound of Hope music track from Amsterdam, for Monday 1 June 2026
    • Song link: https://open.spotify.com/track/4ejr8i1lKv6HlSXnx9SNBk?si=a3dba01f29344920.
    • This is 'Love Touch' by the Amsterdam-based producer, HAME. He says: “it takes some time to get into the track … with it, I wanted to create music that hypnotizes emotionally into a foundational feeling of love … just for the moment … not 'love' in the romantic meaning of the word but in a more foundational understanding of the world. A transcending feeling of love. I think this feeling is one of the best medicines for hurt and hate.”
    • About HAME: As well as his live DJ sets for festivals like Lago Lago and Paradise City … HAME is the founder and creative mind behind the music label, and event series, Pintai. Pintai organises parties in Amsterdam and other cities across the world. And there’s one coming up on 15 August at TILLATEC.
