Dynamic and bombastic Blck Mamba, keeps her transitions slick and her selections solid, with a blend of cheeky bangers and deep digs that will constantly keep you on your toes. You can tune into her weekly radio show on Studio Brussels where Blck Mamba won’t shy away from new genres.

This Brussels bad ass takes her sets away from the chin-strokers and into a world of pure fun, building up dance floors with UK funky sounds, amapiano, baltimore, grime, afrobeats, hard drum, perreo, dancehall and then some.

Amsterdam local, Jerrau, has a pulsating energy that intoxicates all those around him. Hitting the DJ scene hard and heavy, he has shown his power to synergize everything between bass, deep house and future funk at scene-leading radio shows and gigs.

Popping up all over, you can hear Jerrau on NTS, Radio Radio FM and Stranded. He has supported Sam Gellaitry, played at Soulection, Splash! Festival in Germany, Appelsap, Eurosonic Noorderslag and Carista’s Skate Cafe event, United Identities.

That same passionate energy when he started is still present in every single set he plays and now we can share that with you, Live at the BBQ.

Congolese Londoner, BackRoad Gee, rose up through the pandemic, with his phonetically frenzied style like a phoenix from the ashes. His ability to build pulsating bass lines and lay down guttural lyrics is on another level.

This UK Rap underdog released his newest track, Under Attack, just a month ago, a sound of unbridled energy that has no boundaries. Spitting soundscapes across the UK, he has had praise hollered from the likes of BBC1 Xtra, Complex, Clash and DJ Mag, and who could blame them?

Backroad Gee started from the pandemic and now he’s here performing for the first time in the Netherlands, Live at the BBQ.

💅🏽Don’t let the sweet demeanor fool you, Bao G lays down ferociously hard trap that will make you double take on the dancefloor. With every set she aims to tell a story correlating between time and space, curating an atmosphere that has no limits.

Bao knows how to satisfy a crowd and yet also make her presence felt. She has the serious skills to utilize and analyze all the different levels on which music can be enjoyed; noticing the little details in lyrics as she speaks the mathematical language of tonalities.

After experiencing her insane equations at this year’s Lente Kabinet, we can’t wait for more Live at the BBQ.

Weaving together the live acts alongside our residents will be Garnett. Cutting his teeth at Utrecht’s local grassroots radio station Stranded FM, Garnett has honed his craft amongst the pool of talent that operate in the U.

When it comes to the club and in this case Parallel, Garnett takes dives deep into Detroit House, Techno and Soulful House whilst also stamping his identity firmly in his roots with UK sounds akin to Garage and Broken Beat. The playful exploration of all territory on the electronic spectrum create cross-overs between genres that dissolve the sense of category in his sets.
