De Fabriek, a Dutch experimental collective active since the late 1970s, is renowned for its evolving lineup and innovative soundscapes. Centered around Richard van Dellen, the group operates as a dynamic work-union, blending industrial, noise, and ambient elements. Their 1988 cassette release, "Music For Hippies," showcases a departure into groovy, long-form jams. In 2022, Platform 23 reissued this work, featuring remixes by Dunkeltier and Khidja, highlighting De Fabriek's enduring influence and adaptability in the experimental music scene.
