Polynation, a Dutch music duo renowned for their eclectic blend of electronica, ambient and world music has captivated audiences worldwide, whether on festival stages, club dancefloors, or in the comfort of listeners’ homes. Their signature organic and cinematic sound stems from live improvisation, laying the foundation for both meticulously crafted studio tracks as well as mesmerising live performances.

Bonding over melancholic chord progressions, driving rhythms and electro-acoustical textures,  the duo’s adventurous soundtracks are raw, sensory experiences crafted with finesse. Whether on record or playing live, their music is widescreen and immersive, rich in meaningful melody that draws from ambient, pop, minimalism and techno. 

Collaborating with Dutch label Atomnation since 2015, Stijn Hosman and Hessel Stuut have released three EPs and their acclaimed debut album, ‘Igneous’. They have also remixed Joep Beving on Deutsche Grammophon, and won over tastemakers like Gilles Peterson with their artful sounds and intricate studio wizardry.

Continually evolving, Polynation have honed in on a beautifully enriched sound, accumulating over 20 million streams on Spotify alone. Their dynamic live performances have graced festivals such as Best Kept Secret, Wildeburg, Secret Garden Festival, ADE, DGTL and clubs across Europe, delivering both soothing escapes as well as wild and energetic 2 am rhythms with equal style and sophistication.
 
They use a wide array of tools including drums, analogue synths, piano, kalimba, bass and electric guitar as well as pedals, tape (delays) and sax. Those acoustic sources, blended with electronic signals, lend their material a unique quality that's inspired by the infinite beauty of nature. Though meticulously crafted, Polynation's music is alive and imperfect, rooted in real-world emotions but warm with machine soul.
 
In 2024, the Amsterdam-based duo returns with a fresh wave of music. Anchored by live acoustic drums and analogue synths there is no limit to where Polynation's sonic alchemy might take you.

More live than most electronic bands, and more electronic than most live bands, Grey Tapes is a beat-maker and producer collective based in Newcastle upon Tyne. The group consists of Mr Blazey (@mrblazey), Bert Verso (@versoproductions), Calum Howard (@calumhoward), and _Bain_ (@bainbc), with Dan Potter on live drums. 
 
Grey Tapes endeavour to keep live electronic music truly live - avoiding clicks, sequencers or backing tracks in favour of live sample triggering and instrumentation. Everything you hear is played manually by a finger, an arm or leg. 
 
Each member of Grey Tapes is a producer in their own right, giving the band a wealth of music to perform. Their instrumentation includes double bass, live drums, homemade midi controllers, synthesisers, piano, samplers, vocals, drum machines and omnichord. Grey Tapes' music traces the lines between hip hop, trip hop, jazz, electronica, ambient and lofi dream pop.
