The Bloody Honkies
The Bloody Honkies were founded in late 2005 in Barlo, a small village in the far east of Holland. A show at EuroSonic Noorderslag 2007 brought them a record deal and they released their debut album The Gospel Of The Bloody Honkies last year. The band consists of vocals-and-dance man Lawrence Mul, guitarist Wout Kemkens, drummer Hooky and bass player Clemens Mul. They play rock-’n’-roll and they play it loud. They have little respect for conventions, and play their type of rock: swingin’, energetic, and raw. Club shows, festivals and support acts quickly followed their notorious Noorderslag gig. At one gig, they played with compatriots Peter Pan Speedrock and The Spades, as well as Wolfmother, The Datsuns and the legendary Status Quo.

Headlife
This band offers powerful performances, sticky songs, heavy guitar riffs and straight from the heart vocals. A five-man formation, they are one of the most promising rock bands from The Hague at present. The band is: Slo (vocals), Daan (guitar, backing vocals), Roach (guitar), Francis (bass) and Jelger (drums). They play a tough mixture of rock and pop; raging crowds are common at their live shows. Headlife have already played a lot of festivals and stages all over the Netherlands. In the summer of 2007 they presented their first mini-EP, Man’s Ruin, a touching release, and one people had high expectations about. One song, Foolish, has been played a lot on Dutch local radio stations. Headlife recently recorded their new single, Just for You, and their first album is expected early 2009. This band is ready for a European tour. 2

zZz
zZz is one helluva sleazy steamin’ locomotive, barrelling out of Amsterdam. Organ, drums and vocals are all this duo need to serve up a Molotov cocktail of psychedelic electro wave, garage soul and dirty rock & roll. zZz first got going eight years ago, at the turn of the century, when roomies Björn Ottenheim and Daan Schinkel started making music in their basement, using only a simple drum kit and an old $50 church organ. Within a week they had composed five songs and were invited to play at the party of an infamous Dutch smuggler, where the Sound of zZz was born. From then on zZz built up a notorious live reputation and the show requests came flowing in. Invitations by the likes of Fatboy Slim (for a tour in Japan), Juliette & The Licks, Jarvis Cocker, Franz Ferdinand and The Happy Mondays – to name but a few – were followed by a string of dates at major European Festivals (Glastonbury, Benicassim, Les Eurockéennes, Pukkelpop, Lowlands, Arezzo Wave, among others). The release of their album The Sound Of zZz was followed by some extensive club touring throughout Europe and the USA. The next album is due out in October on ANTI Records.
Racoon
Racoon was founded in 1997 by Bart van der Weide (vocals) and Dennis Huige (guitarist). They were joined several months later by Stefan de Kroon (bass) and Paul Bukkens (drums). In January 2000 they released their debut album, Till Monkeys Fly. Their single, Feel Like Flying, was a mega hit on Dutch national radio stations. After that, Racoon played the Parkpop and Lowlands festivals. The band headed into the studio to record a new album in the summer of 2001. Here We Go, Stereo! was well received by press and public. Amazingly, however, Sony decided to terminate their contract in 2002. The band didn’t give up though. Working in close cooperation with one of their very first fans, producer Michel Schoots (Urban Dance Squad), they recorded the Another Day album in 2004, under their own management. This album set in motion their monster hit, Love You More in 2005, and the album went platinum. The band has been quickly recognised as one of the most successful Dutch bands today, and Racoon’s club tour in 2005 sold out. They had a successful festival season in 2006. In 2007 Another Day was released in the United States and Canada, followed by their first ever American tour. This year they released their latest album, their fourth: Before You Leave.
Voicst

Voicst, the rock trio from Amsterdam, has quickly established a reputation as one of the most innovative, exciting and intense bands in Europe. The band, Tjeerd Bomhof (guitar, vocals), Sven Woodside (bass, vocals) and Joppe Molenaar (drums, samples) recorded debut album 11-11 in New York with producer and Girls Against Boys bass player Eli Janney. Their debut album brought them instant success, and singles from the album were quickly picked up and used for commercials (Heineken) and TV shows (One Tree Hill). The band have a habit of relentless touring, and they have spent time on the road with Nada Surf, Bettie Serveert, Tenacious D, Juliette & the Licks, The Presidents of the United States of America and The Bravery. In 2007 the band came with a remarkable second album, which they called A Tale Of Two Devils. The album was produced by Peter Katis (Interpol, The National) and Rutger Hoedemaeker of Dutch electro pop output About. On May 30, 2008 Voicst was voted one of the best bands at Pinkpop, the biggest festival in the country.

Buma Cultuur will present Dutch Dance CD 2008 Part 2 at Popkomm this year. This compilation is brimful of the newest electronic productions from the Netherlands. New songs from Armin van Buuren, Miss Djax, Marcella, Matik, TJ Kong & Nuno dos Santos, Krause and Nobody Beats The Drum are on the track list.

Dutch Dance CD 2008 Part 2 Miss Djax
Photo Krijn van Noordwijk
Miss Djax returned to dj-íng and producing in 2004 after several years of radio silence. She’d gone from working in a record shop to running the successful and respected Djax labels over the 15 years before. Her flagship, Djax-Up-Beats, is a legendary name in techno. Miss Djax’s own work evolved from Chicago and acid into hard techno. Legendary gabber pioneers Human Resource contributed to the track on this CD, which will be the bonus track for her upcoming album, Inferno
Nobody Beats The Drum
Photo Leon Hendrickx
Nobody Beats The Drum certainly take their time: after winning the Dance Music award at the Grote Prijs van Nederland in 2003, it took five years for the trio to finish and release their debut album Beats Work. One reason is no doubt the fact that its members play in other bands, like Zuco 103 and C-mon & Kypski. The band combines the sound of hip hop and breaks with electro and rock. They run their own label and are very focused on playing live.
Here, two of Holland’s biggest musical export products are brought together on one track. It’s an unlikely combination, but it works: the world’s number one DJ Armin van Buuren with Sharon den Adel, vocalist of award-winning, million-selling goth metal band Within Temptation. The track, a mix of breakbeat and electro styles and Armin’s usual trance sound, is the second single from his Imagine album on Armada Records. The EP comes with remixes from Blizzard and Richard Durand.
TJ Kong & Nuno dos Santos TJ Kong and Nuno dos Santos started working as a production team with Circus Bells for Compost Records last year. The track was made as a Brazilian version of Robert Armani’s classic. After Pete Tong made it an essential tune, it became a big hit. Portuguese-born Dos Santos is a DJ and graphic designer, Kong is an alter ego of Erwin van Moll a.k.a. Max 404 and as one half of Clashing Egos. The duo have also worked with Robert Owens, and released Dropout on the bside of the Tranentrekker EP on Compost Black.
Marcella
Marcella is another female DJ who started producing tracks in 2005. Her track, Stabbing Sally, became a big house hit. After she won the Toolroom Remix competition in that same year, remix requests started coming in too. With Virgil van Leeuwaarde she is part of Unisex Inc., a production duo known from the Bouncing Nipples track. Marcella has her own monthly house night in Amsterdam. Inside, her latest single, is on Terminal 4 Records.

Belgium focus for EuroSonic Noorderslag 2009 The European Music Conference and Showcase Festival brings Belgian music to the forefront.
The 2009 edition of EuroSonic Noorderslag will take place on 15, 16 and 17 January in the Dutch city of Groningen. This year the focus will be on Belgian music talent and on the Belgian music industry. The festival will comprise the EuroSonic
Noorderslag festivals and conference, and over 250 international bands and acts will be performing that weekend. Around 2,500 music business professionals are expected to attend. “With its location in the heart of Europe, Belgium is a melting pot of cultural influences where bands such as Front 242 and TC Matic were first inspired to create their unique sound,” says Peter Smidt, creative director of EuroSonic Noorderslag and project manager of
Buma Cultuur. “Many bands followed and gained international respect: dEUS, Soulwax, Girls in Hawaii and Ghinzu, to name only a few. Belgium has a vibrant live music scene with lots of great venues, clubs and festivals. Rock Werchter, of course, is recognized as the best festival in the world. Aside from shows by several Belgian bands and acts, the focus of panels and meetings during the conference will be on doing business with Belgium.”
Shows by European artists keeps on growing every year
