Strict Nurse is the alter ego of Leilani Trowell. Strict Nurse improvises with layered cassette loops, samples, synthesizers and a sweet, sinister voice to cast a spellbinding soundscape.
Karel van der Eijk
Karel van der Eijk is known for his unique installations in which sound and mechanics form the basis. Some of his installations can move at the touch of a button, others are played like a musical instrument.
Fast De
Melodic pop compositions flowing into danceable West African rhythms, ambient interludes and complex harmonies. Fast De takes you with an overdose of energy on a lively trip that you can’t get out of quickly.

Harmen Fraanje/Clemens van der Feen/Flin van Hemmen
