De Jeugd Van Tegenwoordig

De Jeugd van Tegenwoordig (formed in 2005) is a Dutch hip-hop, electro and R&B group, known for their humourous, playful and multi-lingual approach to songwriting, hailing from Amsterdam, The Netherlands.

BLØF

Bløf was officially founded in 1992, in the province of Zeeland, the Netherlands. The original lineup was composed of the members Peter Slager, Paskal Jakobsen, BAS KENNIS and Henk Tjoonk. Over the course of six years, the group had released nine records with multiple hit songs, and performed many sold-out performances. Their song Aan de kust (At the coast) from their debut album Naakt onder de hemel is considered to be the new anthem of the province Zeeland, because the song is about this province. Rather than singing in English, as is common practice among Dutch bands, Bløf produces songs in their native Dutch, vastly contributing to the popularization of nederpop, as the genre has been known in the Netherlands. Besides having deeply sensitive lyrics, Bløf incorporates sounds from around the world. Their hit song Aanzoek Zonder Ringen (Proposal without rings) uses Japanese kodo drums in the background, while their latest album, UMOJA, was the result of a journey around the world to capture multi-national sounds. Critics claim that their formula for success is the way they crafted songs; they try to find the ideal balance between alternative and popular rock, poetic lyrics, and the voice of Paskal Jakobsen. This has brought Bløf the hits, awards, airplay, and (inter-)national recognition that has propelled these four musicians into the most successful Dutch-language group in recent years. Besides success, Bløf has also had its fair share of tragedy. Drummer Chris Götte, who replaced Henk Tjoonk in 1997, died in a motor crash on March 17th, 2001. When the news got out, the Bløf website was filled with condolences from fans and friends. In June, the band released a memorial album called Oog in oog (Eye to eye). The revenue for the album was donated to War Child. Norman Bonink joined the band that same year and continues to be their drummer today.

Son Mieux

The seven-piece band Son Mieux from The Netherlands makes the music we need in these times: danceable pop with disco influences and grand gestures. Rich, seventies-like arrangements with personal stories and modern productions. Their second album The Mustard Seed has been released at the end of last year and has been given high praises all around. Even winning an Edison (the Dutch Grammy’s) for Best Album and already accumulating over 10 million streams. But the band truly shines on stage, with energetic, well-arranged shows where emotions run high and dancing is key. No wonder the band has been booked over 45 times this summer and sold over 11.000 tickets for their Dutch tour in May. With their first European headline tour coming this fall & playing festivals all over Europe, the band is ready to take their music abroad.

De Nachtwacht

De Nachtwacht (‘The Night Watch) is the artistic rebirth of accomplished musician Jiri Taihuttu. Having previously made his name as Jiri11 in the hip-hop scene, he now, with a five-piece band, opts for a warm, layered blend of Dutch pop, "everything that swings," and "sophisticated soft rock." His new sound is inspired by Steely Dan and The Doobie Brothers, offering a nostalgic feel with a modern twist. De Nachtwacht is the culmination of everything Jiri already is: writer, producer, storyteller, frontman, and gifted guitarist.
