Deep eclectic electronic night
CRUX, meaning “the core issue,” is a hypnotic evening of live electronic music where atmospheres from different electronic styles come together. It features a gradually building program, moving from cinematic live electro to techno.
Hedemann is a techno DJ and producer from the Netherlands whose sound spans a broad spectrum—from groovy, minimal techno to raw, old-school driving techno. Her sets are unmistakable: filled with strange, immersive atmospheres and driven by a powerful rhythm that delivers both adrenaline and a sense of predictability. On the dancefloor, her music makes people feel energized, welcome, and free.
BRECHTJE is a singer, artist, and producer based in Groningen. Her music moves across genres such as art pop, trance, and electronic folk. Through her work, she aims to show that every emotion, no matter how dark, is valid and human. She seeks to create a safe space where nothing is numbed. Her sound is trancy and intense, layered with synthesizers, harmonies, and droning tones. She uses her voice as an instrument, alongside singing lyrics.
Bär is the live techno alias of Bjorn Nanninga, an artist and producer from the north of the Netherlands. While many acts today perform using USBs filled with other people’s tracks, Bär deliberately chooses a fully live approach. Using self-produced material, each set is performed live and unfolds differently every time. Bär delivers a performance where energy, control, and instinct come together. His sound is immersive, energetic, and physical. What happens on stage cannot be replicated one-to-one; and that’s exactly the point.
