• AAN ZEE
With longing for a pataphysical land where dunes are petrified and shells are sucked into the porous stone, AAN ZEE promises to take you on a boat shattered by the thunderbolt of his own dungeon cult. It flashes and expands into the cold, afar from the heat, measuring the distance from his crypt to yours in dungeon-sofa-synth, creep wave, subliminal drones, clinical metal, alternative noisy folk and just the most deliriously unthinkable spontaneous stories. Hard to place it anywhere but in his own DUNGEON RENDEZVOUS, AAN ZEE’s musical choices don’t promise you’ll make it home clean or ever again. And mindless of unpaved streets, unidentified crashes or traces of gasoline, it’s a sign you must follow.

• DEBOLEENA
Deboleena has a clear interest in rhythm, contrast, ratio, dynamics and harmony in both buildings and music. Her approach to her two main interests, music and architecture, can perhaps be explained from her upbringing in which she was exposed to many different sonic and architectural environments. She was raised across three continents while digesting Indian Classical, Jazz, and the golden era of Timbaland productions. These influences lead to picks with unexpected progressions, unpredictable structures and beautiful production and soundscapes. Bluntly put; ‘For the heads’.

• DEROZAN
Derozan leaves impressively few stones unturned. When he lifts a stone, the musical millipedes lurking beneath them scatter to seek shelter in his music library. The feeling felt by these startled insects is not unlike the delighted confusion created by Derozan on the dancefloor- a fabrication of wonder which is also present in his bi-monthly show, ‘Swallowtail town’. The main difference between his club sets and his radio appearances would be the introspective nature of his show — a quest through imaginative mangroves and along glimmering patches of moss to relieve the mind of the often overwhelming impermanence of the world outside of our imagination.

It’s no wonder that famous beat smiths such as the Alchemist frequent their store. Their TNP show is always centered around a region’s music which they deliver with a uniquely nonchalant flair and are a testament to their broad and deep knowledge. The first reissue on their label Penossi Records, Werk in Uitvoering’s Dosis, contains all elements to their alchemy — novel, funny and allround great.

• ELISE KRAVETS
Elise Kravets’ sets can be described as levees during floods; a refuge which can be very comforting while being surrounded by a hectic and devastating stream. It’s mainly insatiable and curious minds that find comfort in Elise’s sets. However, her sets are exploratory, colorful and escapistic. Elise’s music practice can be linked to her lifelong fascination with pointillism — track per track, dot per dot, the image grows ever clearer. These warm, earthy and cinematic dots are not quite like the pictures she paints in club settings — although her atmospheric sensibilities translate to this setting she prefers hard-hitting 2-step beats of the jungle and d&b variety.

Ivana Đukić’s morning show ‘Morning Star’ shines brightly and as colourfully as the flowers she’s obsessed with. By combining world music, classical, jazz, funk, folk, religious music and recorded sounds Ivana creates a colourful crochet plaid to snooze under, while she whispers some nuggets of wisdom, culture and poetry in your ears. To quote Goethe: “Every day one should at least hear one little song, read one good poem, see one fine painting and -- if at all possible -- speak a few sensible words.” - As a visual artist and graphic designer, she can (and does!) supply all of these.

Edit-smith and bringer of soul from Seoul, Jaezae (also known as Tucan Discos) is one of those DJ’s that takes you on a musical expedition. His style focuses around hard and groovy bass sounds from the 80s and 90s without ever veering into the doom-driven, instead colouring his mixes with elements from the rich musical traditions found across the globe. This Tucan is unlike the rest of his species a migratory specimen - and very much appreciated worldwide for his positive demeanor and friendly attitude. His show name, ‘Imaginary Friends’, should be taken with a grain of salt - as it seems like he has no need to imagine them.

Joss & Flo Selecting are selectors in the original meaning of the word. The word derives from the member of the Jamaican soundsystem who chose the riddims on which the DJ spat lyrics. Within the realm of the original ‘selectors’ they operate, playing various styles of reggae — dub, lover’s rock, roots and rocksteady. While their preferred riddims are as strong and steady as rock, their favorite lyrics can be uplifting, sweet and positive. The riddims and vocals are the vehicle — the goal is good vibes and love.

KAT’s morning show ‘soft-boiled’ is creamy and gooey but never snot-like in consistency. Slowly starting every show while talking about dreams, it is hard not to parasocially fall for her chaotically chill charm, wit and track selection. As a Brit and a writer, it’s hard to beat her on-the-spot eloquence, making her perfect for slow, talkative radio. Having lived in Amsterdam for the last 8 years and having made radio for the better part of that time, she currently holds three residencies at radios across the city, of which she enjoys our radio the most (we hope, KAT can neither confirm nor deny this statement).

Playing ping-pong between being a sound engineer, producer and drummer, Alek Kurniawan, or sonically known as Mangruv, freely executes a linkage of the natural, cultural and musical phenomena, serving the groove deep down to its purest forms of expression. Although he approaches a carefully microscopic handling to his sound, Mangruv scores high-voltage selections of sonik contorsions, always exploring along and beyond the micro and the macro of instruments’ changing dynamics and interactions. It’s called a Pseudosonik game and it’s where an instinctive mode of experimentation led Mangruv to ping and pong between fully stretched listening and FM style verbal dialogues.

Montana is a coastal dweller from Western Australia and a dignified digger well-versed in any music curious, engaging and unwinding, fluctuating between many eras and styles. 80s synth pop, old school House, folk, AOR, ambient and trip hop all have a spot in their shows, often with a Balearic tinge, all combined tastefully (as a full-time pastry chef, she clearly has mastered the art of layering). With her show on TNP, “Desired paths”, she creates long, winding journeys to bask in and get moved by - meant for basking in the sun and moving around by car or train. These two hour microcosms leave the listener wanting more - just like her pastries (probably, we haven’t been to Perth to try them).

Satoshi Yamamura who ran the music blog Okonkole Y Trompa, unearths hardly known and wonderfully bizarre pieces. Constantly packing and unpacking unfamiliar artists and dusty grooves nearly lost to the world, Satoshi’s collection is stored somewhere behind the portcullis of a fortified castle. Once it slides down, you are entrapped in an abstract sonic space as vast as the universe — an oasis of rare releases or a haunted translation of his inner monologue into mystical arrangements. Probably a genre-agnostic, Satoshi is not afraid to journey through the unknown and ecstatic realms of glacial new wave, ghostly synth-pop, fragile ambient, psychedelic jazz fusion, and many other punchy frequencies. His garden of unearthly rhythms is an entangled landscape: you won’t know how you got there, but it was worth it.

Lighting the dancefloor on fire by suddenly dropping the tempo down at peak time - playing monstrous dub - ensured one thing; Vandorta mastered the concept of soundsystem energy. Her palette is untethered by genres but feels consistent, spanning from Rocksteady and Funk to Post-Punk and Mutant Disco - a holistic approach which was likely shaled by her time behind the counter of the record store Sounds of the Universe - a record store which is nothing short of an institute to her native London and beyond.

Veering off into the unknown, Vuur combines minimal electronics with deeply hypnotic clicky techno, gradually immersive ambient, blitz psychy breakers and gauzy downtempo. Always involved in discovering new sonics and making new friends, Vuur won’t navigate the synthetic land of intergalactic electronic miniatures alone. Among the co-pilots of his flights there is a mix of talented friends, established and upcoming artists. Following their traces of melodic space dust, Vuur builds up, co-evolves and expands on the brain-melting, head-scratching at times, or dream-laced structures of dronesque forces and rhythmic ambiances.
