Joep Beving has been one with the piano from an early age. He was forced to end his musical studies at the conservatory and instead continued at university to get a degree in public policy and public administration. However, his love for his instrument never perished. Where once his goal was to hit as many notes per minute as physically possible, his style of playing has changed over the years, searching for a particular aesthetic essence. His path was illuminated by a piano that Beving inherited from his grandmother when she passed away in 2009. This German instrument insisted on a more gentle touch and a gracious pace, which eventually led Beving to adapt to a more classical vocabulary to tell his story.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
This story started to manifest itself relatively late in life, when in 2014 at age 38, he was forced to stay home from work and decided to answer the draw of his piano. In search of tranquility of mind and some form of essence, music started to present itself that he had never played before in his life. Minimal pieces that he later once described as ‘simple music for complex emotions’.  Turned down by the only label he approached, Joep decided to self release his debut album Solipsism in 2015.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
The sound of his piano found its way to the ears of Deutsche Grammophon’s A&R manager Christian Badzura when visiting his favorite Bar in Berlin. This led to the signing of Beving to the world's foremost classical label and consequently the release of equally successful sophomore album ‘Prehension’ in 2017, making Joep one of the most listened to living pianists in the world at that time.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
He has attributed much of his music’s broad appeal to the stream of consciousness in which some of the pieces were conceived. Claiming that the music is already out there and that one has to ‘just’ create the circumstances for it to land. In 2018 he took this idea one step further with the release of ‘Conatus’ of which he said:  “If you see music as a living organism then it is not unthinkable that it has its own innate inclination to continue to exist and enhance itself.” On Conatus, Beving sees compositions from his first two albums travel through the minds of artists he admires (a.o. Suzanne Ciani, Collin Benders, Andrea Belfi), resulting in new pieces of music adding new layers and dimensions which would serve as the upbeat to his next major solo project as would become apparent in April 2019.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
As part of the art piece ‘Franchise Freedom’ by acclaimed artist duo Studio Drift, Joep travels to Burning Man at the end of 2018 to perform in the desert of Black Rock City in front of his largest audience to date. Inspired by the display of human creativity and inclusivity he returns home to finish his third solo album.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
April 2019 sees the release of HENOSIS, Joep Beving’s closing chapter in a trilogy of albums – marking the end of an intensely personal four-year spiritual and philosophical exploration.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
On HENOSIS the Dutch composer continues his minimalist and at times romantic style of writing, but this time explores new territories. It sets off where his sophomore album Prehension left us, the warm intimate sound of the Schimmel piano. With the help of producer Gijs van Klooster and through collaborations with Cappella Amsterdam, Echo Collective, and Maarten Vos, Joep Beving opens up new musical worlds using orchestral and electronic sounds alongside the familiar piano.⁣⁣

This Never Happened is a record and event series created and curated by Lane 8.

Experience the moment. Don’t record it. This Never Happened.

I listen to songs and mixes that make me feel alive, or motivate my mind when I am doing work.

Resueño is the union between two Spanish words: 
Resueno = I resonate
Sueño = Dream

22% of label profits are donated to causes around Lake Atitlán, Guatemala and recently to some other parts of the world to support those in need.

We are here to unite. The intention of Resueño is to bring artists together to create something which alone would not be possible. Together we can take the listener on a deep journey to find balance and peace within. We are here to blur the boundary between the dance floor and the chill out sound journey space. To find a middle path where all is in balance and the cosmic harmony flows through.

Natascha Polké is a Swiss musician and producer known for blending indie songwriting with emotional, melodic house. Based in Zurich, she has built an international presence with releases on labels like Anjunadeep, PIAS, and Universal Music. Her live shows have taken her across Europe, North America, and Asia — from supporting Kiasmos and Christian Löffler on tour to playing festivals like Fusion, Zürich Openair, ADE, and a standout Cercle show in LA. 2025 will ultimately see Natascha embarking on her very first headline tour across European metropolitan cities.


She lived in London from 2013 to 2017, where she studied songwriting, worked in a studio, and held a residency at the iconic Roundhouse. After returning to Zurich, she immersed herself in the city’s club scene — organizing events at Hive and DJing extensively. During this phase, her current artist project began to take shape. After completing her Master’s in music, she transitioned from DJing to performing fully live — and the project really took off. Her live show merges raw, intimate songwriting with atmospheric, melodic house.


Her upcoming EP - aimed to be released in November - with the third single 'Dawn' releasing September 12th via Universal Music CH and capping the year off in December with a release for Cercle Records, will certainly open a new chapter. With her mix of emotion and groove, she gets people dancing — and maybe even crying a little.
