JORIS VOORN sits at the epicenter of the Dutch electronic music scene, the most renowned and instantly recognisable artist from Holland, representing underground house and techno on a wider global stage. For a country with a population of just seventeen million Holland’s contribution to world electronic music is unsurpassed. While house and techno trace their roots to the marginal and mainly black American underground, its taken a relatively small country in the European lowlands to flip electronic music on its head and turn it into the global powerhouse it is today. In 2016 few could deny that Amsterdam is the global capital of electronic music and few artists embody the melting pot of musical influences that define the city’s underground techno scene more than Joris Voorn. He's the embodiment of the modern-art and tech-savvy touring DJ, with both feet planted in firmly in the underground techno world, but a keen eye for contemporary art, photography and a long-standing love of architecture (you only need to check his Instagram or EP covers to see where this all comes together). Born in the Dutch town of Tilburg, the son of a composer and a music teacher, Joris gained international recognition with his breakout ‘Muted Trax EP’ on Keynote which was followed quickly by his universally acclaimed ‘Lost Memories EP’ on Sino the following year. Its follow-up ‘Lost Memories Part 2’ in 2004 included the standout track ‘Incident’ which became an immediate and firm fixture in the sets of many of his now-peers including Carl Cox, Derrick May and Laurent Garnier and was one of the standout tunes of that summer at clubs everywhere from The Sub Club to Circo Loco. www.facebook.com/jorisvoorndj

Hailing from the Amazone riverbanks in South-America but stationed in the South of the Netherlands: meet KAPIBARA. This semi-aquatic trio is known to infuse their cultural heritage when creating electronic dance music in the studio together. Kapibara’s signature sound floats somewhere in between deephouse and techno. Converging feeling and emotion into a pallet of natural grooves. Whether they deejay or perform live, these chameleons bring great adaptability to their sets and as a resident of the infamous Labyrinth club and hoster of Taka Tuka, they have the perfect homebase to do so. www.facebook.com/Kapibara

“Go deep, not just playing the right track, create energy & vibe that make people move” That’s how KHLR describes himself as a DJ. Never afraid to take risks and go too deep. His musical style is a generic mix of deep house and tech-house. Today, this translates into sets where he picks apart and infuses together all the pieces of music that he loves best: beautiful synth work, ethereal backdrops, brooding basslines, and occasional vocal hooks… all on top of a punching beat. He likes to compare his track selection to a good cappuccino: A lot of depth, strong and creamy with a touch of sweetness. www.facebook.com/djkhalor
