Hiltje
Hiltje blends emotion, melody, and a healthy dose of weird into something strangely irresistible. He broke out with the jerseyclub banger Iedereen Is Onzeker - an anthem for overthinkers who still love a good dancefloor - and kept the momentum going with the genre-bending EPs Hillside and his latest, Brokken Piloot. Mixing raw trap with dreamy pop, Hiltje lays it all out: loneliness, growth, and trying to figure it all out (like the rest of us).
