The line-up:
Miss DJ QT | 22:00 - 23:00
Miss QT is a talented artist from Eindhoven, known as Holland's no.1 female DJ. Raised in a Surinamese family, she was inspired by Soul and Funk music, which inspired her stage name "QT" for Quality Time. She fell in love with DJing in 1996, toured with mentor Dj Mootje until 1998, and secured her first residency shortly after. From her debut at RnB Cafe Rotterdam to her current busy schedule, Miss DJ QT has worked hard and paved the way for other women in the industry. Her sets seamlessly blend RnB, Hip Hop and Dancehall, creating an unforgettable musical experience.
Mei Glez | 23:00 - 00:00
Step into the realm where rhythm of the city meets the soul of the heart. Mei is a Spanish and Chinese international upcoming DJ always looking to explore and share sounds to give people an exciting, fresh and new experience wherever she goes. Her style generally centers around spinning the classics of old school Hip-Hop and R&B with a blend of baile funk, as well as Afro beats with electronic elements.
Chris Breinburg | 00:00 - 01:30
As a young kid he grew up in a musical environment which led to Chris starting off as a dancer before becoming a DJ. He has been dancing for 10+ years and as his love for dancing was growing, his love for music also started to grow. While he was attending the Urban Dance Academy at Rijnijssel in Arnhem, he learned more about the music he was dancing to and started to do his own research of multiple music genres. Besides his big love for the genre Hip Hop and R&B, he also started to learn about other genres such as Futurebeats, Afro, House and even UK Garage. By learning about these genres he developed a unique sound that can take you to different places while listening to his sets. From clubs like Bitterzoet and Paralell to Festivals like Woohah, Open Air and Lowlands, Chris Breinburg will make you feel like you are on another musical planet.
DJ Turne | 01:30 - 03:00
In 1996 you could find Turne (real name no gimmicks) practicing hours on end after being infected with the Technics virus, and the motto “practice makes perfect” in a room full of Dr. Dre, Duran Duran, Michael Jackson and Michael Jordan posters. Ever since Turne has been playing all over The Netherlands and parts of Europe and built a following amongst music connoisseurs worldwide. His sets are full of energy due to his tight mixing combined with tight scratching and his ability to read the crowds needs. Combined with his musical knowledge it's a sure shot. Playing virtually anything from hip hop to rock and from disco to house he truly knows how to get at the crowd no matter where he goes. His motto is to rock every party as if it were his last.
Thys
This is Thys (Thijs de Vlieger): DJ, producer and composer from the north of the Netherlands. His DJ sets are a reflection of a two-decade-long musical course. With razor-sharp and unexpected mixing, he seamlessly blends a multitude of bass heavy genres. Creating energetic waves, not afraid to make bold leaps, but never losing sight of the groove. Never tied down to one sound or genre. As a member of widely recognised electronic music trio Noisia, Thys has toured the world for decades and collaborated with range of top tier artists like The Prodigy and Skrillex.
When producing club music De Vlieger loves to mix up BPMs and moods. His recent Shoulder To Shoulder (2023). The EP is a clear statement of intent in that regard: a love letter to club music and the intuitive feeling of togetherness that loud music in a dark room can unlock for us.
H31R
Building on a mutual desire to bridge the gap between hip hop and electronic music, H31R (pronounced heir/air) creates an enigmatic but complementary sonic experience that pushes the fickle boundaries of genre. The duo, consisting of producer and composer JWords and Brooklyn rapper/vocalist maassai, both grew up listening to a variety of genres and are using the sounds of their youth to expand on the potential and style of their own music. Their debut ve·loc·i·ty (2020) showcased a speed and grit not heard before in underground music. Its singular amalgamation of hip hop and electronic music, further characterized by flecks of jazz, juke, Jersey club and boom bap, noted a direction in music unbound by the confines of genre. The album’s enigmatic sound paired with a collage of self-affirmations caught wind from the likes of Pitchfork, The Wire, Brooklyn Vegan, Okayplayer, Cabbages and Bandcamp, who called ‘ve·loc·i·ty’ “a marvel of momentum”. Their latest album, HeadSpace (2023), confidently expands their electronic rap vision, featuring wonky, out-of-this-world tracks with a wildly futuristic vibe.
MC Drivah
After hosting raves and main stages left, right and center such as Rampage, NOX, Sunrise Festival and Paaspop, MC Drivah knows exactly how to handle performing to a large audience. Equipped with an extremely diverse music taste and skillset, versatile and well experienced, rest assured that the microphone is in capable hands.
Staatseinde
The interstellar cosmonauts from Staatseinde have landed their spaceship in 2006 to bring their sound, described as ’Neue-Niederländische-Welle’ (New Dutch Wave), Robo-punk or bumper car-techno to earth. From wave to EBM, from NDW to punk and techno and everything else in and out of the box. Going to a show of Staatseinde is like going to the club meeting up with Kraftwerk on speed and The Sex Pistols on Acid. Staatseinde creates a theatrical mix of pulsing electro with nostalgic hopeful synth lines, all performed live with synthesizers, a sequencer and tantalizing vocals.
SUBFICTION
SUBFICTION is a veiled artist and guide of absorbing audiovisual worlds. Worlds that consist of organic elements, contaminated by technology, exploring musical landscapes beyond genres. The guide, SUBFICTION, controls these worlds through live performance and provides the audience an interface between fiction and reality. The universal creature demolishes every dance floor glitching and switching between melancholic breakbeats, IDM and narrative driven house and hip-hop.
SUBFICTION provides your naughty nightly escapades with some of the most sub-soakin’ breakbeats and flashy, futuristic visuals (for all you after-freaks, bassheads and rainbow ravers). In 2022 SUBFICTION seemed to appear and disappear, often unannounced, at festivals and underground parties.This Casper the fashionable ghost lookin character always gets every audience to go completely berserk.
Polyphonic
Polyphonic is the most energetic orchestra you’ll ever experience! This booming orchestra has been throwing parties all across The Netherlands with their unique blend of classical music and drum ’n bass. Their unique covers were praised by the likes of Noisia, Netsky and Macky Gee and have gathered a dedicated following on YouTube. Polyphonic was developed by a large group of musicians, including the renowned Phion Orchestra, drummer Koen Herfst (Armin van Buuren), vocalist Diandra Faye (Da Tweekaz) and drum ’n bass rapper Wolf MC. Expect a euphoric multi-genre party.
Madster
All it needed was one drum & bass show to get him hooked. The idea of a heavy hitting, rolling sound was the birth of Eindhoven-based Madster. Nowadays, with over 10 years of experience and shows like Rampage, We Are Electric and Korsakov, as well as a residency at NOX, his trademark mixing and big selection makes him a crowds favourite. Whether it's neuro, beats or halftime, Madster knows how to throw a party.
