The sound of BBC NL 🔊🇬🇧🎶

Earlier this year we had the pleasure of producing the sonic identity for the rebranded BBC NL (formerly BBC First), and its new on-demand platform BBC NL+. New names, a new direction, and a new sound to go with it.

Proud to have shaped this one together with our crew at Never Square Music and to be part of something that now lives in people’s homes, every day :)

Huge thanks to everyone involved! And shout out to the sound squad: Sietze Rademaker, Steve Johnsen, Charley van Velthoven, Samuel Alencar Rodrigues 👊🏼

Presenting "Achter de Woestijnweg" 🎬

This week, The Netherlands commemorates WWII's end on August 15th, 1945, remembering those impacted by the Japanese occupation in the former Dutch East Indies.

Emerging from this era, the Moluccan community relocated to the Netherlands after serving alongside the Dutch in the KNIL (The Royal Netherlands East Indies Army). What began as a temporary stay in 1951-1952 evolved into a lasting resettlement due to changing circumstances and unmet promises.

The documentary delves into the Moluccan community's history, recounting the 1976 eviction from the Vaassen village barracks.

In the early hours of October 14, 1976, hundreds faced an armed police force, driven by suspicion of weaponry. This event left enduring scars amid political denial, echoing a layered colonial past.

Rooted in a layered colonial past, the film highlights the disparity between expectations and reality. Almost five decades later, the echoes of this eviction persist, serving as a catalyst for healing and showcasing remarkable resilience.

"Achter de Woestijnweg" stands as a collective effort by residents of the Gelderse neighbourhood, echoing the voices of the Moluccan community.

Through our contribution to sound and music, we're honoured to be part of this narrative. 🙏🏼🎶🎵

Take a trip down memory lane and relive the most luxurious night of 2018 at the Magnum Mansion. Hosted in the prestigious InterContinental Amstel Amsterdam, this event was a true takeover. We curated tailor-made 'True Pleasure' music playlists for each of the three different experience rooms, each showcasing a different stage of the ice cream built.

And to take the event to the next level, we also curated the live music acts and DJs, ensuring that every moment was filled with the perfect soundtrack. Join us in reminiscing about this unforgettable night and remember to always with Magnum! 🍦🎶
