Polychrome Radio on Echobox - Episode 28 - Hannecart

Summer 2022, we ventured deep into the woods somewhere in the heights of Tisno to experience something different. At the end of a corridor shaped by nature, an impressively stacked sound system pulsing dark minimal breaks to a group of rave explorers. That night, while Dekmantel Selectors is dancing by the sea, local @metzattack collective and The Hague’s @future.intel organized a daring off program session. 

Core to the culture, raves keep the lights of pure freedom alive. Communities gather and support each other to create moments out of time. From Vodice, Croatia, the young Metz Attack collective has been pushing boundaries and their atypical sound for years now, earning a respected name in the alternative electronic music scene. Beautiful rave stage design, well cared-for visual identity, great vision for curation and a super kind and welcoming crew. Metz Attack has it all.

Among its ranks is @__________fabian , a member whose talents mirror the collective’s ethos. Awarded as best new dj by Croatian Ambassador I. 2017, he has since earned gigs at festivals like Love International, Dekmantel Selectors and Dimensions. Playing in clubs all around the region, you can most often find him playing at the infamous Masters club in Zagreb. 

For this Polychrome Radio, Fabian sent us a recording showcasing an impressive array of sounds, floating effortlessly through dub, breaks and techno. Simply mesmerising.

Join us this Sunday on @echoboxradio to immerse into Fabian’s sonic landscape! And do not forget to show support to our beloved Echobox Family by subscribing to their new program, to keep on pushing independent cultures 📡

Subtlety is a trait that sets GAPPIEOUWE apart. Daan has been carving his own lane by experimenting with fast paced electronic psychedelia, creating an elusive sound and an aesthetic of his own. 

There is a touch of mystery around GAPPIEOUWE’s artistry, a sense of complex emotions in his selection, and always great class in the execution. With standout performances at @radionamsterdam or @deschoolamsterdam Het Einde, regular radio performances and his own ULTRA SERIES podcast on SC, he consistently offers an open perspective of hypnotic club sounds. Performing at high level in activities beyond music requires discipline and hard work, and both are felt in his craft. We are excited to host GAPPIEOUWE for our next Polychrome Radio this Saturday 25/05 at 17:00 on Echobox Radio. 

Let the music play 🕸️

While writing his own life chapters, @olafboswijk has had an impact on many of ours. Creativity offers avenues to change our perceptions. Fostering it through spaces, initiatives and support allows for this movement to amplify. When used for the better, can it change the world? One thing is sure, it can change lives.

From offering his creative vision to Club 11, to leading Trouw’s legacy and laying the foundation for the dance floor that De School was, it is many of our lives that Olaf changed. These spaces changed perspectives, and opened avenues to new realities through underground cultures, design and a sense of community.

In @temporary.pleasure important book on the history of nightclubs, Olaf shares that he 'firmly believes in temporary projects’. Chapters are meant to be closed for new ones to open. Traveling and living throughout Latin America for the past 3 years and co-founding art research project Valley of the Possible in Chile reflects on how intentional change can be celebrated.

Music has always been the thread, and as a DJ he explores as much as in real life. His eclectic selection of music spanning from world music to disco, house and techno showcases an open mind, and the remains of sounds that resonated in Trouw. It is great to have Olaf Boswijk back in Amsterdam for a new chapter, but first to offer us an hour of music on this episode of Polychrome Radio on Echobox Radio. Tune in and enjoy !

Artist: RDS (@0rds0)

This episode of Polychrome Radio is special for so many reasons. RDS isn’t just an artist who dedicates himself tirelessly to perfecting the craft of writing and selecting music—he’s also a dear friend who’s been part of our label’s journey from the very beginning.

Rein has inspired our curation and sound for years, generously sharing his music with us and opening up his eclectic record collection to our delight. It’s been amazing to witness his journey, release after release, as he continues to raise the bar.

This set was recorded during our Polychrome x Spectral Bounce night at Multipla. In the upstairs room, bathed in red lights and soft smoke, we sat on the floor with eyes closed, swaying to the most beautiful IDM records. The first hour of the set airs today on Echobox Radio at 17:00, with the full performance available soon on our SoundCloud.

Fresh off the release of his critically acclaimed debut album E-Mutations on De Lichting, a key track on PA005, and with an upcoming full EP on Polychrome, this episode is a victory lap celebrating friendship and music. Tune in, take some time for yourself, and enjoy ✨

@mallauryvittori has been part of the Polychrome family since day one. From living room sessions to our first outings on large systems, behind the decks or on the dance floor, her energy has always been radiating and love for music felt. It is thus not surprising to see her bloom and seamlessly rock crowds on bigger stages.

Mall’s music palette is wide. Her ability to navigate from bass centric sounds to deeper basement 4x4 music enables her to charm dancers with an impressive ease. It takes a certain confidence to share the line-up with artists such as @maaraluisa , and honour invitations to festivals such as @honeyhoneynl and @orbit_festival .

Over the past years, her growth only offers a glimpse of what she has to offer, and we are super happy of finally giving her the keys to Polychrome Radio for this show, hosted by our dear crew member @baarbieworld .

Tune in on @echoboxradio at 17:00 for an hour of dance music. Enjoy!

It is during spring this year, on Club RAUM dance floor that we first saw justin case perform, opening the Boutique room. Setting the tone for a night in such a club is not an easy exercise. They set the energy in the right place from the start, not shying away from venturing through electro and techno, thick bass lines and clashing drums.

@eleni-justincase is more than a dj, they are an artist that expresses their sensitivity not only through music but also through words. A researcher and writer, they explore connections between queerness and our society’s constructs. Challenging, breaking down and opening ideas requires the ability to shift the frame, a skill that offers the freedom to explore, also in music.

On this episode of Polychrome Radio, we offer justin case a canva to present to you their sounds. They will offer us the music that resonate on their dance floor, as we experienced it ourselves. Tune in on Echobox Radio at 17:00, and enjoy 📡

For this 2-hour special, our co-founder Hervé has invited Egyptian-born and Amsterdam-based dj and Robots Revenge label founder ERTH. @erthsound has been radiating a very special energy through his music selections, taste for curation and a very kind approach to collaboration. Electron Oath EP by Sound Synthesis • distributed by One Eye Witness • is simply the reflection of that. A testament to his affection for electro sounds paired with a machine aesthetic and love as a pursuit.

@isabel-wiltenburg has been shining her way through our communities for some time now. Leading the Nightlife Care Network - a support platform for our nights - she offers us her deep nightlife expertise, inspiring empathy and friendship, making our practice grow on and off the dance floor. Because it is there that her research in the night starts, as a dancer. One that fully experiences music, soaking in the energies and sounds, while defining her own.

Exploring bass frequencies and UK influenced club music, ISA W perfectly paces the rhythm and is open to merging cultures through sounds. After recording a beautiful episode of RPU’s Aquatic Gardens and blessing  the Surface Massief night at Noord Space , Isabel is taking the reins of Polychrome Radio for an hour through her collection, and we are honored.

Tune in! 🔆

It’s refreshing to feel such care and vision for music and the cultures that surround it. We first discovered @Lula_Luna as an artist through her listening selections—whether played on radio shows or released on her own SoundCloud.

A certain sensitivity shines through her sets. Her selections spark the imagination and inspire new flows. From ambient escapes to dub-infused electronics, there’s a grounding element that ties her sound together—understated yet powerful.

As part of the Possibilities Open Studio crew, Lou has been exploring her creative self by curating events that move the needle, while researching music aesthetics and experiences. Alongside this beautiful cover shot by Mark Loopstra, she shared with us a few nature photographs taken in Gran Canaria. A soft visual reminder that sounds require space and time.

Lula Luna is our next guest on Polychrome Radio this Friday 02/05 at 18:00 on Echobox Radio . It is a pleasure to host her on the 40th episode of our podcast series. Tune in! 🔆

For this next episode of Polychrome Radio , it is our pleasure to invite one of the label’s oldest friends, Random Spirit ⚛️

A core member of RPU, Francesco has been offering his energy to the underground scene for years, helping create raves and parties that still today are our favorite dances. Involved in building the Noord Space community and part of the Spores crew, he has been dedicating his time to creating spaces for music and exchange.

Random Spirit is constantly in the search for new musical avenues both as a dj and producer. Always navigating in between the lines, he researches the sounds that connect minimal, trance and electro, unearthing music that we rarely get the chance to listen to. As a producer, he gets the freedom to design his own world, one that merges a certain sensitivity to the raw energy of the rave.

This moment is a special one, as it is with a lot of care and excitement that we will experience what he has prepared for this episode. See you on the airwaves! 📡

Today at 18:00, it is our pleasure to host Amsterdam-based artist dj and producer Jerrau for our Polychrome Radio episode on Echobox Radio📡

Jerrau has been making us dance for some years now. Navigating between percussive grooves, bass heavy cuts and deeper escapes with ease and flow, the Dutch-Surinamese selector keeps on adding memorable performances to his portfolio. Whether it is at Horst Arts & Music Festival, Dekmantel, Club Raum or Garage Noord, Jerrau constantly offers glimpses of his library and shades of his colorful palette, never compromising on his influences and inspirations. 

Very involved in Amsterdam’s nightlife through programming and curation, his process is fueled by artistic curiosity and anchored within a constantly evolving ecosystem. As Jerrau continues to experiment with rhythms and sounds, he keeps on reinventing himself while building bridges between shifting generations of dancers.

We are very excited of having Jerrau today, and can’t wait to showcase the music that moves him!

It is during summer 2024, in front of 40 subs stacked under the trees of Draaimolen’s Forest Rave stage that we first met Faited. Envelope Soundsystem conjurer, soundsystem fabricator, and a wonderfully skilled vinyl DJ, Faited has made of sound an element that she invokes, crafts and playfully selects. Based in Oakland, CA, she is deeply involved in building and nurturing communities in the pure rave spirit, sharing both her knowledge of acoustic waves and bringing people together around music. 

When it comes to her vinyl selection and practice, it is raw sounds and moving energies that connect her record collection. From mind melting drum’n’base to ravey techno and trippy tech house escapes, it is a body freeing feeling that she creates on the dance floor. 

Faited had a busy summer, touring in Europe and playing a few festivals: The Great Beyond Festival in Minneapolis, Draaimolen in Tilburg (with an incredible performance alongside Octo Octa), and the multi-day rave System Activate in Vermont. When not DJing, she designs and fabricates new loudspeaker designs under her brand Faited Systems.

It is a real honour and pleasure to host Faited for Polychrome Radio on Echobox Radio. This hour of music encapsulates her unique dance floor perspective, and we can’t wait to share it all with you!

Hailing from the city of Rotterdam, Mata Disk found his influences early on as his parents exposed him to 90s electro. They ultimately led to a distinctive sound that blends polyrhythmic elements, atmospheric textures, and subtle, glistening detail. Emerging with two standout releases on Nousklaer audio, Julian quickly established a signature approach, grounded in rhythm and repetition but open to abstraction, surprise and the occasional emotive touch.

Mata Disk shares a part of his sonic world with us in this mix, showcasing why he is one to watch, but most importantly one to dance and listen to.

Deeply involved in dance music and its nightlife for many years, Lennie has always kept his extensive collection alive, offering glimpses of it on special occasions.  Trying to pick up the pieces of the puzzle one record at a time, he glues together the warm je-ne-sais-quoi he finds in jazz, hiphop, dub and funk, and channels it into the red line that fuels his groove-driven sets — leaning on the warmer shades of dub, minimal techno and house, where groove sets the tone and hips and heads follow the pace.  Based in Amsterdam but with firm roots at Arnhem’s now defunct 8bahn , where he began as a resident and went on to program monthly club nights and the occasional festival, he has carried that same spirit of curiosity and community into new contexts. Whether in the booth, behind the scenes, or digging through record bins, Lennie is always in search of something new - or old - to bring his philosophy to life on the dance floor.

Finding meaning is an exciting pursuit. One that opens doors, observes, imagines, dives in, before maybe creating something, or closing them again. No hard feelings, and much learning. Applied to music, such philosophy feeds an infinite curiosity that only our minds limit, with rules defined by proclaimed boundary setters. Girish’s artistic journey lies in breaking these rules, not compromising on what he feels, taking risks and giving place to spontenaity. 

The first time that we crossed Girish’s path was in Radio TNP’s former NDSM studio in 2021. Already, an eclectic selection and a vivid energy transpired. Years have passed since, dedicated to creating a new platform for underrepresented music with The Hague’s Future Intel collective. Pushing new sounds, fighting for culture, crafting events and continuously collecting music from all corners.

Challenging times gave place to new bloemings, energies channeling in the right direction and portals opening. Sometimes life forces compromise, moments where the ying and the yang dance in an unbalancing rhythm, to let place to renewed magic. Fresh off opening Draaimolen’s Pit stage back-to-back with DJ and Future Intel crew mate Zamba Jan, Girish steps up for Polychrome Radio. Always exploring, we can only expect the unexpected, and that’s the beauty of it.

Music is a language that helps us communicate when other barriers seem too high. Amsterdam based producer and DJ Crisp Sandwich has spent many years learning it, developing depth in its understanding, curiosity in its tools and creativity in its use.

Bastien’s work is a delicate craft, which explores sounds and rhythms, layers to enhance the experience and mixes sounds from a diverse set of sources. From techno to dub, drum n bass, juke and new school house, it is with impressive ease that they play records, synthesisers and perform vocals, connecting with listeners.

Very involved with music, Crisp Sandwich is also a regular maker on Operator radio, founding member of the newly (re)launched Radio weesper as well as co-producer of the incredible neo-classical live duo Bubble Bouillon with their partner Hundi. We simply love their craft.
