clubby sets / uptempo

2023 december

At Open Source Radio, for May 5th. That we may never forget that we live in a relative free country. Free of war and in a democracy with many well working protective laws. We must appreciate what we have, even though there is still a long way to go for emancipation of so many people. 

I hope this set will energize people to get to work within anything political or community strengthening. There are many people in our society that are being discriminated against, because of disabilities, color, gender, religion or nationality. 

Discrimination and hatred of other people is at the base of every war, so we must keep striving for love and equality for all, every day and everywhere!

Freedom and protest set for Honey Honey

I still can't believe I closed Lowlands 2023 on monday 09:00!

It was a big honour to be asked by the programmer to combine my two DJ styles together. One is my most comfortable. Punky, poppy, indie and mutant disco music that is super danceable and rough around the edges. But house music is relatively new to me, I've only started playing it in clubs around two years ago. To follow up after Berkan V8 & Elias Mazian, such house connoisseurs, felt like a big pressure. 

I'm really happy with how it turned out. The leftfield lyrics ring true to my beliefs and the musical sounds are accessible, exciting and edgy at the same time. Even though you can hear my nerves in some of the transitions I'm glad to have this one online.  

That my musical carreer has now reached this point is truly a dream come true!

Paradigm Podcast - Coco Coquelicot (recorded at Paradigm Festival 2024)

Driving, spirited and fiercely unapologetic: Coco Coquelicot’s distinct blend of club sounds unites warm grooves with heavy rolling bass. A music nerd through and through, Coco digs deep for her gems, no matter the genre. Aiming for more than just a good time, her sets radiate with her passion for the social and the political. By amplifying queer and other marginalized voices, she empowers those seeking their retreat in the nightlife. As co-founder of Relate Radio and part of the team behind Butts, the renowned queer club night in OOST, Coco cultivates music from the ground on up. Behind the booth, Coco’s eclectic influences come together in a luscious and percussive mix that will rumble through your body.

In 2023 Coco became a part of Hit the North (ESNS) under the wings of Isis van der Wel and was nominated for the Groninger Cultuurprijs. Some of the places she played at: Lowlands, DGTL, RAUM, Wildeburg, IsBurning, Milkshake, Eurosonic, ADE, Doka, Orbit Festival.
