Line-up

Interplanetary Criminal

Interplanetary Criminal is a pioneering DJ, producer and co-head of the independent ATW Records whose cultivated UKG sound has been turning heads in even the furthest corners of the globe. The Manchester-born producer first debuted in 2016, since then releasing a string of rave-ready singles and EPs, including his number-one single with Eliza Rose, the inescapable summer anthem of 2022: B.O.T.A.

This year, he will go on to release his first longer-form project All Thru The Night via legendary UK Garage label Locked On Records. The compilation comes 25 years after Todd Edwards’ own-comp and will feature all new, original music from the very best in contemporary UK Garage.

RIZ LA TEEF

Hailing from South London, dubplate tastemaker and Rinse FM resident, RIZ LA TEEF, is revered for his love of all things vinyl. A one-of-a-kind selector with a treasure trove of records, specials and rarities spanning UKG, UK funky, dubstep and grime, RIZ has spent the last decade establishing himself as one of the UK’s most sought-after DJs.

As comfortable performing with MCs as he is curating extended sets for dancefloors, RIZ’s energy and character behind the decks have also become a calling card all of their own, with his vast back catalogue of mixes across radio (Rinse FM, BBC 1XTRA, NTS Live) to industry-leading platforms such as Boiler Room, DJ Mag and FACT being a testament to his credentials and talent.

Soft Break

Soft Break is a Rotterdam-born and based DJ, audiovisual artist and designer whose early encounters with the city's jungle, dubstep and grime scene are heavily reflected in her eclectic sets. Moving through gentle vocals, percussion, hard drums, footwork, hip-hop and thundering bass, expect genre-busting, energy-driven aural narratives, full of unexpected twists and turns from this rising star.

2022 marked the year of major debuts, wowing crowds at Dekmantel Festival, De School, WOO HAH!, Vandalized, SPIELRAUM and Dekmantel Selectors throughout a variety of outstanding sets, frequently sharing the stage with her companion Nala Brown. As a founding member of the collective AMPFEMININE, she curates mixes by femme-identifying DJ’s, booking talent and hosting events and parties.

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.
