Relive some of our favorite sets recorded at our events

AYIM | Grounded 5 year Anniversary, De Helling | 16/03/2024

@mosaicaif and Kay Melief

Utrecht-based artists Mosaic and Kay Melief played a special live set. They make use of a collection of hardware synthesizers, demonstrating their fresh take on groove-heavy, percussion-driven techno with an industrial twist. As close friends they often play and create music together, where their broad musical knowledge leads to an authentic, captivating sound.

Moesmakende Hakkers(Live) | Grounded 1 Hour Rave | 24/04/2024

@octobana

With as many styles and genres as limbs, octobana induces corporal spasms on the dancefloor through glitchy jungle mayhem and baroque infused overstimulation.
With a combination of performance, visuals and other dubious practices Octobana sets up absurd experiences for some to enjoy. Make sure you are ready because this will be a special one.



Octobana | Grounded 1 Hour Rave | 26/05/2024

Mesmerised by the fringes of nightlife, @flaccs quickly fell in love
with the freedom music provides. Shaped by the fundamentals
of techno, he subtly crafted his own signature: an evocative
soundscape lled with desire. Hypnotising you into a
psychedelic dream, where groovy rhythms reign—echoing deep
darkness and spacey sensuality that create intimate moments
of belonging

COACH - Grounded Podcast #3

@josephine-wilting is a queer female DJ from the Netherlands. From the moment she discovered electronic music, she fell in love with exploring new sounds and the art of mixing.
Always curious about the experience of playing her favorite tracks in front of a
crowd, she went from playing at her small student room to playing in bigger clubs and
festivals around Europe. Her preferred genre is fast changing, energetic and groovy
tunes, but she really loves to play whatever and whoever inspires her in that moment.

Hoesephine - Grounded Podcast #2


@djhannahdj Natively from Stockholm, and Amsterdam based, is co-founder of Stereolube and has more recently become known both on and off the club circuit for meticulously crafted, trance-fuelled vinyl sets. While her style of play tends to lean towards the melodic she prefers genre fluidity over rigidity and maintains an ‘anything goes’-philosophy that also spans meticulously dug crates of techno, jungle, bass, early rave, and the occasional hardcore record—as long as it fits the set.
