Know V.A.
Know V.A. - the long-standing Amsterdam duo are one of the Netherlands’ forefront explorers of genre bending club music. Pulling influences from their youths spent at hardcore and rave parties and an immense love for UK bass, their range is boundless and their music and DJ sets burst with dynamics.
In 2018, they launched a new series Strange Days, that predicated the gabber and hardcore transmutant revival across the club world. Strange Days fused the past and future, juxtaposing legends like DJ Promo and DJ Ruffneck alongside Genome 6.66 MBP and Gabber Eleganza, truly melding the two worlds together half a decade before it became ubiquitous.

Zohar
Cutting-edge sonics as the shifting of storms. Percussive and pulsating, Zohar is known for a razor-sharp and highly dynamic club-signature. With years of formative experience controlling dancefloors, the artist behind Zohar has been treading a diverse and eclectic musical path in which rattling low-end and rhythmic tension can be regarded as the common denominators.
Known for technical refinement and mixing witchcraft, Zohar now intuitively seeks innovative and surprising connections, both disorienting and exciting listeners in the process. The artist’s sparse yet prolific output as a producer is best channeled through the illustrious ZHR label.

Dead Fish Fuck – Sheet Metal
Ephemeral sounds from the late iron/industrial age.
A stainless steel plate made to sing with the caress of long and sometimes short wooden sticks.
DeadFishFuck is an auto-didactic sound artist plagiarized from a cut-up novella of the empire of the senseless atmospheres of an endless night on a sea train screaming though the mountain tops hoping to meet the echoes of the last humpback school.
Acabaret
Acabaret is chaos magic production of the ADM distopia with a lot of layers. From theater & freakshow to theater, music & circus.
