A platform for parties and mix series based in Amsterdam, for likeminded artists and dancers to share music grounded in movement, intimacy, and connection. With a deep love for house in its most sensual, physical form. Where the dance floor is sacred, the sound is warm and full, and the energy flows between DJs and dancers. A place for connection on the dance floor. For Body Heat 004 we're teaming up for a 2-hour b2b or our take on house

POING FESTIVAL takeover w/ Clementaum - 10th August 2025

For this show, I’m putting together a fun, summery, and slightly trippy mix-something to enjoy with friends while the sun’s out and drinks are flowing. It’s going to be a smooth, progressive journey with playful rhythms and hypnotic vibes, perfect for relaxing, moving, and getting a little lost and naughty.

Montrouve - w/ Jewel - 14th August 2025

Rooted in the dark corridors of post-punk, cold wave, electro, and techno, G4Yfx thrives on unexpected turns and heated encounters; a 90s mood ring of playfulness. Mx Terrible blurs sacred and synthetic, channeling Italo, EBM, and cold wave through a distinctly Eastern European lens, weaving melancholic electro, ghostly folk samples, and flashes of Polish rap. 

For this show, expect a synth-heavy, bass-driven combo through shifting moods and Eastern European sounds; an eclectic mix inspired by Rotterdam nightlife and curated by POING veterans: yours truly, Mx Terrible (fka no-afters floor manager), and G4Yfx (fka backstage furniture).

Ina Kacz - 28th November 2025

How can one make their own personal development and artistic process explicit, and in doing so, use that to collaborate with people around them? 
Acknowledging that one’s personality and sonic interests are ever-changing, diverse, and versatile takes centre stage in “xcepting,” where xceptor, the show’s namesake, engages in a musical discourse with fellow artists and musicians that deepens and expands both his and their practice. Be it a b2b with somebody whose worlds have the potential to colour each other, or a wholly-focused action in which the invited can take the reins, the Rotterdam-based DJ/Producer creates a space for musical exploration with whoever he feels creatively aligned with in that particular moment. 
Although these two hours largely remain grounded in electronic music, expect the occasional endeavour into music’s outer realms.
