“Luuk Graham, also known as Filó or FilosofischeStilte, is a producer/beatmaker from The Hague. He is known for his instrumental tracks that meander between hip-hop and electronic dance music: digital, abstract, emotional, meditative, melancholic, including lots of sub and percussion; in short, a very personal hybrid mix of different styles from different corners of the world. Since 2011, he has released several projects on labels both at home and abroad, including Lowriders Recordings, Saturate Records and Noahs Ark.

The work Showerheadz began as an artistic search for the so-called 'next'. One year and two hours of music later, the 'next' still hadn't been found, until Naomi came up with the idea of The Big Homely Space. Based on sketches of the ‘next', Filó developed his work Showerheadz in response to the exhibition. It consists of a collage of beats and sounds, in which the sound of running water plays an important role. Filó came to the conclusion that water can be used as a form of therapy. For almost any kind of discomfort– physical or mental, the flu, a hangover or depression; a shower or sitting by the water's edge or by the sea can be one of the most calming things. So, let yourself go with the flow, don't overthink– that won’t make anybody happy.
