Over

Over Club Hikari Records

Club Hikari Records is een onafhankelijk elektronisch muziekproject gevestigd in Amsterdam. Guillaume is de artistieke identiteit van de Nederlandse componist en producer Wilbert Kragten.

De muziek beweegt zich tussen melodic house, deep house, cinematische electronica en downtempo, gevormd door steden, culturen, talen en menselijke verbinding.

From Tokyo and Beirut to Amsterdam, Cape Town, Miami and the Mediterranean, every release begins somewhere. A place. A person. A memory. A language. The result is music designed not simply around genre, but around atmosphere and connection.

Albums like Antibes, Bayrut, Seoul, L'Été Manhattan, and Ceylon et Ciara each explore a different city, culture and emotional world — in French, Arabic, Japanese, Vietnamese, Korean, Dutch, Portuguese and English.

The Hikari Credo — a multilingual spoken word series in 21+ languages — sits at the heart of the project. Hikari means light. And light is energy.

Listen, Stay Awhile. Love Guillaume.

Artist

Who is Guillaume?

Guillaume is the artistic identity of Dutch composer and producer Wilbert Kragten and the creative force behind Club Hikari Records. Based in Amsterdam, his work combines electronic music with a long-standing fascination for cities, languages and cultures.

Rather than approaching each release as a variation on a single genre, Guillaume uses places and human experiences as creative starting points. The result moves between melodic house, deep house, downtempo and cinematic electronica while retaining a recognizable Club Hikari atmosphere.

The belief

When we respect each other,
we can love each other.

At the heart of the project is a simple belief:

music brings people closer to one another.

When we connect, we understand each other.

When we understand each other, we respect each other.

And when we respect each other, we can love each other.

This philosophy became the foundation of “The Hikari Credo,” a multilingual spoken-word series exploring music, light, energy, and connection across cultures and borders.

Hikari

Hikari means “light.”
And light is energy.

Club-rooted but never confined to the club, Guillaume’s music exists somewhere between dancefloors, coastlines, sunrise mornings, and late-night reflections.

Listen, stay awhile.

Love,
Guillaume
