For the recent festival, we welcomed German radio legend Klaus Fiehe back to Leiden. Known to many as the 'German John Peel', he hosts his own show 1LIVE FIEHE on public radio WDR since 1994 and remains one of few German DJs with a free selection of music.

In his 03/03 broadcast, Klaus digs into the festival, visiting Leiden and, of course, some of the new discoveries he made at , including music by performing acts Brintex Collective & Use Knife.
