De Mist 01-05-2026

This episode of De Mist marks a special milestone as host Niels Der O prepares for the 400th show of the podcast, set to coincide with Dunkfest 2026. The episode opens with a spotlight on Dutch post-rock artist Gio Snook, whose new album 'Conflicts of Interest' features the track 'Glowing Sun,' which was played as a tribute to the radio format. The show then transitions into a curated mix of live recordings from past Dunkfest performances, including standout sets from Russian Circles (2016), EF (2023), and PG Lost (2017). Niels shares key festival updates, noting that only Friday tickets are still available, with all other days and weekend passes sold out. He details the full lineup across three days, highlighting major acts like Pelican, Caspian, and Kokomo—whose new album 'Whip' is set for release on the festival’s final day. The episode closes with a powerful performance of 'The Last Dive of David Shaw' by We Lost the Sea, a band set to play their album 'Departure Songs' in full at the festival.
