Line-up

EYCEE

EYCEE (Real name Alexandros Christodoulides) is an electronic musician, producer and DJ hailing from Amsterdam. EYCEE is known for producing forward-sounding club cuts and - in his DJ sets - blending sounds spanning house, jersey club, jungle, UKG, funky, techno & bass. In 2018 he released his debut EP,Delicate Drippin’, on London-based label Sans Absence - run by DJ and Producer Akito. Hot on the heels of his first release, EYCEE followed up with Valuable. The UK funky-infused cut from this EP, ‘Love & BS’ was nominated for the prestigious Xite 2020 Music Video of the Year Award. Being a former resident on the now defunct Red Light Radio and currently at RRFM, EYCEE has been slamming out mixes on a multitude of platforms, with numerous acclaimed guest mixes for radio stations around the world. Outside of his own mixes, his tracks have reached many ears through Boiler Room sets and radio stations such as Triple J (AUS), NTS, Rinse FM and BBC Radio 1(UK). This has not gone unnoticed by 3voor12, they labeled EYCEE as a discovery at Lentekabinet. They also wrote about the artist earlier this year, and the programmer of Lowlands named EYCEE one of the promising Dutch DJs of last year. In addition to his commitment & love of DJing, EYCEE has played a fair part in contributing to the Dutch club scene over the past decade, founding & operating numerous popular club nights across the country. One of them being label and clubnight:PARDON, which made its return to Amsterdam nightlife after the pandemic and has sold out most of their club nights in the last year. The event takes place bi-monthly in the exciting space: Parallel (formerly known as Paradiso Noord) and has hosted events at Paradiso too. Previous guests of the night include: Interplanetary Criminal, Special Request, Nightslugs, Two Shell, Pangaea, Kikelomo, Mad Miran, Jamz Supernova, Ploy, Skin on Skin, Mixtress, Conducta and many more.

Jerrau

Claiming his spot as a local talent, Jerrau is one of the trailblazers representing the contemporary wave of DJs from Amsterdam. Flagrantly knocking down barriers in the industry by maneuvering between events that are differentiated by genres, the Surinamese-Dutch DJ consolidates his broad interest and inexhaustible curiosity in various music styles during his sets and recurring radio shows. Drawing national attention, Jerrau aims beyond the Dutch borders.

Jerrau’s broad interest comes with a healthy dose of music as well as the culture surrounding it. This adds a deeper dimension to digging for new records. When he’s not behind the decks, he’s often found in front of the booth, learning from and supporting colleague DJs. Often seen at concerts, Jerrau’s curiosity essentially leads him to unconventional sources of inspiration, such as games, soundtracks and anime, which he subtly consolidates in his DJ sets.

Ranging between breakbeats, bass-heavy club music, and alternative electronic hip hop, there is something intriguing in the way Jerrau weaves these genres together with an infectious energy that radiates on the dance floors. Yet, this is not where his musical endeavours stop. His curiosity and enjoyment of discovering new music lead to two monthly radio shows at Radio Radio and Stranded FM in Amsterdam and Utrecht, respectively. Here, Jerrau explores the boundaries of his musical landscape and shares this with his listeners.

Sharpening his vision and doubling down on his determination during the pandemic resulted in a complete breakthrough and establishing himself by taking over festivals all across the Netherlands, such as Best Kept Secret, Down The Rabbit Hole, Lowlands and Orbit festival. With the support of the Bureau Punt agency, Jerrau embodies the DJ who dares to venture beyond established boundaries and operates at the cutting edge of DJ culture. Persistently honing his craft locally, Jerrau now aims for crowds beyond the Netherlands to provide his unique mix of music.
