Strong friendship is the key behind the project Søns, a dj duo made by Alex Barbu and Mattia Valbusa, young talents from Verona (IT). 

They started working together in 2020 during the pandemic, and since that moment they always worked to reach common goals. 

With the desire to pay homage to their territory, and to build a name for themselves, they decided to found Sketches at the beginning of 2023, a series of events all located in mountain huts. The energy of their parties is unique, as a real connection is created between man and nature, making the event unmissable every time.

Their musical style is purely electronic, inspired by minimal techno and electro house, they manage to create a mood you are not used to.

Nicolaas Andela is an Amsterdam-based Italian DJ currently working on his label and event series, One More Time.

After years of performing in northern Italy, in cities such as Verona and Bergamo, he decided to move to the Dutch capital to pursue larger projects and seize better opportunities. This move proved fruitful as he signed with the newly established music management company Memento, which is helping him secure new gigs.

Nicolaas has released music with Italian label Indaco Records and Romanian label Ole Records. His latest EP, "Let Me Down," a collaboration with Phil-O, achieved significant success, reaching #63 on the global Beatport chart. He continues to work on new music, refining his distinctive sound.

His main musical inspiration comes from his time in London, where he was captivated by UK-style house music, drawing influence from artists such as Sidney Charles, East End Dubs, and Max Dean.

This year, Nicolaas has performed at several venues in Amsterdam, including M’Adam, iNN Club, and Oosterbar. He has also brought his music to international audiences in Portugal, Germany, and Italy, making his festival debut in his hometown at the successful Horizon Festival.

Looking ahead, Nicolaas plans to bring his event to many clubs, aiming to establish his concept and expand it beyond the Netherlands.
