About

World Wild West is a multidisciplinary, audiovisual celebration of the internet and its many communities. From fandoms to alternative fashion scenes, niche music genres and forums for LGBT people; we highlight unconventional expressions, reclaiming the online landscape from monopolistic social media behemoths. We depict a moment when the internet is once again for and by everyone. Think of it as a joyous mashup of the funny, quirky side of the web that is not afraid to embrace cringe or bad taste.

World Wild West is affiliated with the collective klokpack6ix.

We are explicitly queer positive and strive to be a welcoming home to LGBTQ+ artists and audiences.

BOK DIDA

spotify yt insta

BOK DIDA are a Dutch-Croatian rap duo made up of long-time friends Pirko and Giuseppe. Together, they blend the absurdist Nederhop of groups like De Jeugd van Tegenwoordig with everything from krautrock to hyperpop, Eurodance and Balkan music. No two of their live performances are the same: they take pride in surprising the audience with strange homebrew instruments, creative outfits and bespoke props like a fatbike made entirely from duct tape. BOK DIDA has performed at WWW editions two, three and four.

spotify yt insta

Ida Deerz

site bandcamp spotify yt bsky

Ida Deerz (any/all) is the mythical jack-of-all-trades, master-of-everything; a true homo universalis of the digital age who can make anything she sets her mind to. That can be delightfully playful hyperpop, a Nintendo DS DJ set (don't ask us how that works, we don't understand it) or a bespoke dynamic site generator in order to "take back the internet". Her high-voltage music is perfect for when you're on the good drugs (DIY hormone replacement therapy).

Slootwater

insta

Slootwater a.k.a. soofnotfound has a trickster spirit we love at World Wild West. When she VJs, you never know what you're going to get. Maybe she's playing Roblox but all the textures have been replaced with pictures of Freek Vonk, maybe she's getting her Marktplaats account banned by bidding on too many used cars, maybe she's browsing her picture folder in rhythm with the music. She has performed at WWW editions three and four, and is looking to DJ for us in the future. As you can imagine, we're very curious about that!

y4k4r1

soundcloud insta

Y4k4r1's set is a rollercoaster through all the funny, weird songs and videos you secretly love but don't have the courage to tell your friends about. Mixed in a surprisingly danceable way and paired with layered, hyperactive visuals, Y4k4r1 overwhelms the senses and completely turns off the part of the brain that is occasionally embarrassed.

Promotional material

We put a lot of effort into our promotional material to give it a distinct style and identity that reflects both the themes of our events and the designer's own aesthethic.

Aftermovies

Check out one of our aftermovies to get a feel for the vibe of our events.

Tech requirements

Of course, our technical requirements depend on the lineup but in general most of our acts have relatively simple setups consisting of a laptop, an audio interface and the occasional microphone. Since our events are so visual-heavy, it is important to have a decent projector and projection surface, as well as a HDMI connection on stage. If your venue is not confident about its projection quality, World Wild West might be able to arrange something better or we can collaborate with you on a creative solution. At EKKO, for example, we used three small projection surfaces instead of one big one and that worked just fine.
