Back by popular demand: The dark beats return with 3 live bands this time. Dive into a night of EBM, dark electro, industrial, new wave, post-punk, and goth rock vibes.🖤

Dutch siblings Ruben Pol and Matthijs Pol are bringing back New Wave in 2024. They find themselves hooked on the frequency and unique allure of the genre. It not only echoes the brothers’ creative ideals but also channels the exhilaration they experience in their fashion endeavors, transmuting it into diverse and compelling forms of expression that go beyond music.

BHPL began its life in late 2020 as a means to make music in the restrictive environment of a global pandemic. With both members having a history of playing in various hardcore and metal bands, as well as having a shared interest in dark electronic music, a new project was born. BHPL’s name comes from the city Bhopal; in 1984 one of the biggest disasters in world history happened in a chemical plant. The event is a suitable link to our music and lyrics. With influences ranging from DAF to Swans and Sarin the duo started writing raw and abrasive electronic music; heavily focused on pounding rhythms and sequenced basslines, topped off with distorted vocals.

Emerging from Almere, The Netherlands, The Medicines stand as a vibrant post-punk/gothic rock ensemble. Their music pulses with infectious energy, blending emotive vocals, edgy guitar distortions, driving basslines, atmospheric synthesizers, and pulsating rhythms. Drawing inspiration from the influential styles of the 80s alternative music scene.
