European Vampire
On Saturday, September 28th, Cristel Ball will once again curate an evening filled with surprising acts. When night falls we welcome European Vampire to the PHIL.
Lorenzo Sutto and Mark Ceiling launched the electronic music project European Vampire in 2018. Blending chill-house vibes with Parisian flair and the energy of the 90s house scene, the duo draws inspiration from the atmospheric worlds of classic Italian cinema and Bowie's Berlin era. Their music weaves these influences into cinematic soundscapes, where each track pulses with a haunting, rhythmic allure.
With lyrics in both French and English, their songs seduce like a predator's call, offering a dark critique of postmodern society. Their work echoes Mark Fisher's dystopian visions, capturing the essence of a world on the brink of self-destruction.
The Taste of Cristel Ball
Cristel is known for her eclectic vinyl sets and deep understanding of different genres and eras, mixing punk with hip-hop and wave without blinking. She also has a great ear for surprising bands and new music. Expect vinyl culture with a twist and a place to discover fresh talent from the Haarlem area and beyond. Last year, we hosted this freely accessible evening in the Jopenkerk, and this year, with the help of our friends at Jopen, we decided to go a little bigger by taking over the PHIL foyer. From Saturday afternoon till midnight, we will top off a day filled with a fantastic program at our central festival location.

Lorenzo Sutto en Mark Ceiling lanceerden het elektronische muziekproject European Vampire in 2018. Met een mix van chill-house vibes, Parijse flair en de energie van de 90's house scene, haalt het duo inspiratie uit de sfeervolle werelden van klassieke Italiaanse cinema en Bowie's Berlijnse periode. Hun muziek verweeft deze invloeden tot filmische soundscapes, waarbij elk nummer doordrongen is van een meeslepende, ritmische spanning.
Met teksten in zowel Frans als Engels verleiden hun nummers als de roep van een roofdier en bieden ze een duistere kritiek op de postmoderne samenleving. Hun werk echoot de dystopische visies van Mark Fisher en vangt de essentie van een wereld die op het punt staat zichzelf te vernietigen.
