Pieternel Teekens uit Zuidhorn maakt eigenzinnige en sfeervolle liedjes over de dubbelzinnigheid van het bestaan. Ze maakt haar liedjes als sonar. Door muziek te maken komt ze meer te weten over wat er zoals gebeurt in de wereld om haar heen en in haarzelf: over-datum-waakhonden, het belang van zuurstof, de tijd als een tortilla maar ook de vluchtelingenkwestie, de vrouwenzaak en verhalen uit de wereldliteratuur. 

Haar muziek start eigenlijk altijd vanuit folk en raakt graag aan allerlei genres, waarmee ze een heel eigen stijl heeft ontwikkeld. Op Vanilla Town werkt Pieternel samen met Anne van Wieren en Gijs van Veldhuizen. Drums door Julian Langeler. Mastering door Michiel Cornelisse, Blaisdell Studio. Muzikale invloeden zijn ontelbaar, maar in elk geval Joni Mitchell, Bettie Serveert, Villagers, Andy Shauf, Skyradio, Laura Marling, Neil Young, Cat Power, Tori Amos, Björk, Bob Dylan, alle 1980s hits en Zita Swoon.

Techno project, founded by Johan Faber (RADIUS). Inspired by the Berlin techno scene and years of rockmusic. Pure, programmed but also many handmade fills & tricks. A collaboration with friends in life & music, like Nico Plantenga (also RADIUS member). First tracks online 5-10-2025, more in progress. Thank you for listening, Johan

Backwoodsmen don't come more musically talented than awkward i, even if the birth of this talent has seen some complicated twists and turns. After holing up frustrations in Groningen, and experiencing spiritual and artistic sojourns in Pennsylvania and Michigan, Djurre de Haan – a true son of the bleak expanses of Northern Holland – bit the bullet, went to Amsterdam, and found himself getting matey with fellow Northerners Alamo Race Track. So much so, that he joined the band and decided to make a solo LP. Makes sense, no? Every artist that has roots in Groningen seems to have an edgy, underground vibe, and De Haan is no different. His music can be described as quiet, slightly intense alt-folk. Check out tracks such as "World Well Lost" and "Sea Life". But belying that homespun image, it has to be said that there is a brooding, restless intelligence that just can't be contained. His début album, "I Really Should Whisper", is choc-full of surprises, not all of them gentle.
