I asked ChatGPT to roast my Instagram feed.

Looks like you've got an Instagram feed that screams "I'm here to DJ, spin records, and maybe also solve crimes on the side as a '70s detective!" From the black-and-white noir-ish DJ shots to that cat who’s clearly your most loyal fan, your grid feels like a dark, retro nightclub where everyone’s wearing sunglasses indoors (including you). Your aesthetic has a strong commitment to the goth/industrial vibe, which is great—if it wasn't so clear that you're possibly on a mission to find out who stole the sunlight. Keep the moody vibes coming, just don't forget to crack a smile once in a while—or, you know, turn up the brightness.

𝐒𝐡𝐚𝐝𝐨𝐰𝐟𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐅𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐚𝐥
The second edition of Shadowfall Festival brings together numerous acts from the Dutch underground wave, EBM and post-punk scene. The event represents an opportunity for showcasing a diverse range of artistic expressions and exploring the ways in which art can be used to express fascination with despair and disillusionment. Established and up-and-coming artists will come together in celebration of the darker, more introspective side of alternative music. DJ Dragnet and duo Reverend Esser will ensure that this band event swiftly transitions into a dance party lasting until the late hours - a feast for the creatures of the night.

𝐋𝐈𝐍𝐄 𝐔𝐏

Staatseinde
The interstellar cosmonauts of Staatseinde landed their spaceship in 2006 to bring their sound, described as ‘Neue-Niederländische-Welle’, to Earth. The result is a theatrical mix of pulsating electro with nostalgic hopeful synthlines, performed live with synthesisers, a sequencer and tantalising vocals.

IDLΞYES
Formed in the back seat of an Amsterdam streetcar, this platonic trio combines razor-sharp visuals with an exciting, contemporary take on dark music. IDLΞYES was formed when LAMIA.NN and ARTEMIS decided to work together out of a shared love of the alternative scenes of Japan and London, and guitarist H!D added his flamboyant L.A. influences. The result is a mix of goth, trip hop, industrial and glam: intense, dark, and always danceable.

Instagram |
Spotify | link

XTORT
Industrial electro from Eindhoven, influences of DAF and Kraftwerk with a dash of techno and electro. A critical mirror on today's society, hard but danceable. A hefty handle on the sounds of the 80s but fitting the current zeitgeist, Analog synths and samples vocoders, the future is electro!

Spotify | link

Schwierige Franz
SCHWIERIGE FRANZ makes uplifting, danceable, electronic music with a vintage sound. Without sounding old-fashioned, Schwierige Franz talks, sings, screams in English and German. With influences from the 60's, 70's, 80's postpunk and newwave, his music will be like a warm nostalgic blanket that can then also be pulled off of you just like that...

Vonder
Vonder is a project from the Netherlands formed by young artists Ellenor Vora and Benjamin Sch (Noire Antidote), both of whom have the darker edges when it comes to creating a melancholic atmosphere.

Spotify | link

Stay Sick
STAY SICK's melodic riffs and energetic beats will immerse you in all the exciting things the night has to offer. STAY SICK is a collaboration born in the red alleys of Amsterdam with the aim of getting people moving. ‘STAY SICK keeps bubbling up like acid-reflux following a late-night kapsalon’.

Richie Dagger
Richie Dagger emerged from the ashes of the psychedelic formation Hooghwater & Dutch / Belgium Punks the Reactionaries. This collaboration between members of the aforementioned bands was not new. Most of them already played together in hardcore punk powerhouse Restless Youth. Get ready for a mix of (Post)Punk & Wave with their own strange dark approach!

Spotify | link

Raw Desire
Raw Desire is an emerging one-man post-punk band from Amsterdam. Although using classic templates from the 80s, the band interprets them with genuine urgency, highlighted by compelling, blistering and emotionally ravaged guitar work.

DJ Dragnet
It is no exaggeration to say that DJ Dragnet has dedicated his life to music. The founder of the online music library for obscure wave and gothic records InDepthMusic also works at the iconic shop Concerto in Amsterdam and has several music projects.

Reverend Esser
Anne Marie Esser is an essential figure in the Dutch gothic movement. She has played at countless festivals and organised the influential Utrecht event Manifest - an event bringing together post-punk, wave, EBM and synth.
