Line-up:
HOST
Jermaine Berkhoudt
Besides his sidequests as Host, MC, Sound Designer and Actor. Jermaine Berkhoudt joined the then local indie hiphop label ‘VanIeder1’ (2010-2015) as a young rapper at the age of 19. As former vocalist/frontman of the band ‘Funky Organizers’ (2014-2017) he was one of the best booked bands during the Poprond’15, during their tours through France and their fully scheduled summer tours along major festivals, he gained a lot of experience with live music.
The Tonal Few
After touring Europe for two years, The Tonal Few STEPS presents their first studio album. True to the party-jazz label, the album is full of energy, groove, and cheerfulness, yet at the same time very honest about the challenges we all face at different stages of our lives. The music reflects bandleader Antonin’s background, ranging from classical percussion to many other styles and instruments, resulting in a mix of influences that gives the music its unique sound.
The album, recorded over three intense days, is a true test, with the band focusing on production, layering, and overdubs, in contrast to the freedom of their live performances. “It shows where we stand now, and now that we accept that, let’s dance.”
Y.O.P.E.
Joop de Graaf is a bassist, composer, and producer from The Hague who operates at the intersection of jazz, beat music, and experimental electronica. With his project Y.O.P.E., he explores a sound in which improvisation, futuristic soundscapes, and rhythmic electronica come together. His music moves between club culture and the avant-garde, with the bass guitar serving as both foundation and sound generator.
