unpeople
unpeople deliver raw riffs, catchy melodies, and honest lyrics fueled by frustration with the world. Guitarists Jake Crawford and Luke Caley, bassist Em Lodge, and drummer Richard Rayner blend heaviness with harmony to create a sound that’s both brutal and unforgettable. Their self-titled EP grabbed serious attention—earning praise from Metal Hammer and BBC Radio 1—and their intense, arena-ready hooks have left listeners and critics alike with “battle scars on the mind.” Rooted in their name, unpeople create music for anyone who’s ever felt invisible.
Slow Fiction
Slow Fiction came up in a fractured New York scene, rehearsing wherever would have them and chasing the sound that stuck. What they landed on is something heavy heavy on fuzz, restless guitars, and a sharp undercurrent of modern-day unease. Think Sonic Youth meets early-2000s indie, with none of the polish. Their ‘Crush’ EP (2024) captures that tension in motion, but it’s on stage where it really clicks: tight grooves, tangled guitars, and chaos that feels just about under control.
Pol
Pol’s sound takes clear inspiration from new wave legends like Depeche Mode, The Cure, and Visage, blending shimmering synths with driving rhythms refreshed with a modern edge. On stage, brothers Matthijs and Ruben Pol, both professional models, effortlessly shift between guitars, synths, and percussion, immersing the audience in a sleek ‘80s-inspired synthwave experienc where music and fashion collide.
Philine
Step into Philine’s world of dreamy indie pop, where sparkling melodies meet honest, glowing vocals. With over half a million streams and Dutch radio love for her debut EP so sick of myself, she’s quickly making waves. Her new EP the side effects of living in a fantasy—mixed by Matt Wiggins (Adele, Florence + The Machine, Lorde) - marks her leap forward. Drawing inspiration from Holly Humberstone, The War on Drugs, and Phoebe Bridgers, Philine’s vivid storytelling and shimmering sound craft live shows that stop you in your tracks.
Parker Fans
Parker Fans are a kinetic Dutch trio turning chaos into a dancefloor love language. Powered by groovy basslines, jagged synths, and crunchy drum samples, their sound feels like a high school mixtape gone off the rails—equal parts Boyz II Men, Beastie Boys, and Vengaboys. Live, they’re a sweaty, unhinged explosion of pop hooks and art-school mischief, delivered with charm and zero dead weight. What began as dusty MPC beats has grown into full-throttle mayhem across clubs and festivals. Tracks like “Pool Of Fish” and “Skincare” bounce between breakbeats and electro freakouts, designed to keep bodies in motion.
Oykie
Amsterdam-born Oykie (Kyo Bijron) returned home at 17 to pursue music, quickly gaining millions of streams with hits like Geluk and Private Life—all without label support. Blending American styles with a distinct Dutch edge, his tracks like the viral Naar Je Toe and collaborations with Eves Laurent showcase his versatility. With over 20 million streams and recognition from FunX and Complex, Oykie is a rising star both on local and international stages.
Octave Lissner
Octave Lissner writes the kind of songs that make you feel like you’re cruising with the windows down — warm, groovy, and full of soul. Growing up in Paris with a violin in one hand and a guitar in the other, he found his voice somewhere between bluesy grit and sun-drenched folk. Influenced by icons like Nino Ferrer, Bob Marley, Bob Dylan, Otis Redding, and The Rolling Stones, his latest album Learning to Live (2025) is eclectic but cohesive. Always heartfelt and smooth.
Nymfo
With a career spanning legendary labels like Metalheadz, RAM Records, and Dispatch, Amsterdam-based Nymfo has earned his stripes as one of Drum & Bass’s most respected names. Whether lighting up massive festivals or bringing heat to the clubs where it all began, his DJ sets are a masterclass in tough, dancefloor-ready energy. Now running his own label, Love For Low Frequencies, and still pushing boundaries with every drop, Nymfo is proof that deep bass and sharp instincts never go out of style.
NOAH
Take it from one of our headliners two years ago, Sticks: NOAH is one of the most exciting new names in Dutch hip-hop and the multitalented force behind Noah’s Ark. Noah Defares, better known as NOAH, is a multidisciplinary artist who splits his time between the studio and the canvas. After the release of Mr. Blue in 2023, he made a conscious shift back to basics: fewer chords and melodies, more beats and bars. This creative reset led to the release of two punchy maxi-singles—Survival Of The Fittest / Noahlogie and Zeeziek / Kijken Kijken Niet Kopen—with a third one on the way.
Dear Omen
Heavy-hearted and unrelenting. Dear Omen is a gothic rock band from Amsterdam that grabs you by the soul and doesn’t let go. With thunderous basslines, relentless drum rhythms, and piercing organ tones, their sound is a dark, dramatic force. Their live shows are nothing short of unforgettable. It’s a full-body experience. Over the past year, Dear Omen has poured blood, sweat, and shadows into their new EP, ‘The S Tapes’, released in December 2024. A haunting collection that marks a bold step into deeper, darker territory.
