Après des années d’errance dans la ville natale bien-aimée de Lars, Hank, il était temps pour lui d’explorer la ville et la vie nocturne d’Utrecht. C'est là qu'il a commencé à organiser Disko Disko avec ses amis il y a 5 ans et à en apprendre davantage sur toutes sortes de musiques et de personnes. En plus d'organiser des fêtes, sa recherche constante de musique n'a cessé de croître, au point qu'il a décidé d'acheter 2 platines et une table de mixage. Avance rapide : Lars est désormais l'un des visages familiers de la vie nocturne d'Utrecht, devant ou derrière le stand, toujours souriant avec une bière à la main.

-----------------------------------

After years of wandering through Lars’ beloved hometown Hank, it was time for him to explore the city and nightlife of Utrecht. This is where he started organizing Disko Disko with his friends 5 years ago and learning more about all kinds of music and people. Besides organizing parties, his everlasting search for music started growing and growing, to the point that he decided to buy 2 turntables and a mixer. Fast forward: Lars is now one of the familiar faces of the Utrecht nightlife scene, in front or behind the booth, always smiling with a beer in his hand.

Bibiche, a DJ from Amsterdam, has a passion for disco that has evolved over the years to include various early 90s house genres, especially Italo (dream) house, deep house, and Latin house. Her heart also beats for Balearic and Brazilian sounds. It was during the Covid pandemic that she first stepped behind the decks, during her own organized festival weekend.Since then, Bibiche has continued to spin records, still evolving and refining her skills. This set is a blend of many genres that she likes, ranging from chill vibes to high-energy dancefloor bangers. However, it's the latter that she loves most. 


Biechy's Top 3:
1. Lone Saxon - Mio Tempo: an Italo dream house banger capturing the authentic essence of 90's.
2. Human Soul – Delight Of Love (Club Mix): an amazing Japanese Funky house track from 1991.

Deodaat, known for his infectious disco grooves and deep crate of vibrant records, he masterfully weaves together sounds inspired by South African, Latin, and Brazilian rhythms, with percussion as the heartbeat of his genre-blending sets. With an ear for storytelling, Deodaat believes each track carries its own message, and his sets create a narrative that connects the crowd.

Recently returning from a journey to France, Spain, and Portugal, where he discovered the music history of these countries, with a focus on the 1970’s disco revolution, collected records in their context, and met inspiring music lovers, Deodaat has woven these experiences into his musical diary published on Youtube called "Deodaat's Diary".

Last year, Deodaat’s vibrant sound captivated Utrecht and Amsterdam with performances at NAR Café der Kunsten, HappyFeelings, UUnited Festival at Tivoli, Vechtclub (U?), HuisVanIemandAnders, and soon, Rotterdam’s Operator Radio. As the programmer of Birdcage Radio, he finds inspiration in supporting emerging talent. Through Plaatjes&Maatjes Soundsystem, which he co-founded, Deodaat and his friends unite diverse Utrecht artists, sharing energetic, feel-good club music that brings people together on the dance floor.

Today he will take you on an adventure across the heart of South-African Pantsula. Journey through the discovery and evolution of electronic sounds in South African music, from the vibrant tones of Champeta, Bubblegum Disco, and Kwaito to the high-energy rhythms of Pantsula and Tribal House.
