About Paris†
This 4-piece from amsterdam offers a gloomy take on the post-punk
genre. the synth-driven melodies and upbeat drumming work together to drag
all the jaded hipsters onto the dance floor!

Amateur
A conflict in style is not what this solo musician tries to sell. Yet, Amateur's
recording methods, using Macs, drum machines and loops don't leave space
for any other conclusion.

Barra Head
It's complex, it's composition, it's rhythm, poetry and melody. It's dynamical,
emotional and thoughtful.
Music for the listener... |
Boy Ler
Undefined. Unstructured. Unreliable. Unknown.

new experience at a fabulous speed. Cheech Wizard.

Excon
Excon proclaims thoughtless packaging of tiny, slow songs about love,
loneliness and money. The issue is: why add sound.
File under: Landing, Microphones, Half Film. |
Green Concorde
Big city paranoia from Denmark that sounds like joy division, sonic youth
and gang of four. |
Jimmy Barock†
Mixing up strong emotional melodies with uncompromised rhythms and truckloads
of dynamics, rockmusic never felt this exciting since they first picked
up their instruments. Indierock, noisepop, avantrock... |
Mercy Giants
Mercy Giants uses guitars to combine technical skills and fine melodies.
The music arising from this approach is not very common, and may leave the
listener in confusion.

Milaus
Italy has brought us the roman empire, pizza and catenaccio. We would like
to add the magnificent artrock of Milaus to this famous list.
File under: Deus, Blonde Redhead |
Mono
Young blood in the Rotterdam hard-working musicscene. Combine passion
with complex rythms and teenage angst with some paper-mache. Go out in your
underwear and expect to have a good time. |
Ponycamp
Once in a while they come out to play, and when they do, they might take
you on the horses' back, riding the tidal waves of their rythmic hymnes.
Indeed, you could say they're true saddle pals! |
Sennen
Sennen operates beyond postrock in terms of dedication, atmosphere and wide
open amplifiers. Much more than you can handle at once.
File under: Mogwai, Godspeed, Slowdive |
Sincabeza
Redirecting the ways of the post-rock, Sincabeza leeds us through narrow
Bordeaux streets into an exploding frenzy of notes and structures.
File under: The Redneck Manifesto, Cheval de Frise |
Soda P
Indie with a strong postrock influence. A trinity with an eye for dynamics,
contradiction and melody.
File under: Pinback, Death Cab for Cutie, Karate |
Stillwell†
Restrained Melodies, weaving guitar patterns and postrock dynamics. Contemplative
and whimsical, yet single-handed.
File under: Shudder To Think, Polvo, Codeine |
Tom Sweetlove
Tom sweetlove (now Some Tweetlove) gems of beautiful slow, introspective
and contemplative music by 5 gentlemen from belgium |
Tse Tse Airline
Very personal and dedicated music is made by Tse Tse Airline. Four-track
recordings and basic instruments like guitar, bass and drums do not fool
the listener in any sense. Straight, uncompromising songs for the naked
ear.
File under: Solbakken, Gastr Del Sol, Seam |
We Vs. Death
Brass meets strong rhythm and guitars. A dusty sound reminiscent
of bigger cities in summer, not to be found in Holland at all.
File under: Do Make Say Think, Allen Toussaint |
White Broncos†
Music as in melodies, so elegant and moody. You could find yourself in a
living room, alone, but with White Broncos. Naked without undressing.
