Dekmantel

Whatever medium it is that @sevdaliza_ speaks through, she's constructing a world of her own that mirrors and distills the world we all share. The Iranian-Dutch artist approaches her work from a multidisciplinary perspective, constantly challenging her self-taught skills as a singer, songwriter, producer, visual artist and director. Poignancy comes first in Sevdaliza’s sound experiments, which mainly incorporate and warp elements of trip-hop, electronic, R&B and pop. Catch her at #Dekmantel23 on Thursday August 3rd – secure your ticket via our website. [link in bio]

Memories of Mala (@maladmz) dropping The Bug's 'Skeng' at #Dekmantel19. Taking over the reins for #Dekmantel23, @bugmanldn and @big_flowdan will join us on Friday the 4th of August.

“Designing emotions is a lot more complicated than designing a brand, but it’s highly satisfying.” In conversation with art curator/writer @helena.e.julian, designers @mirkoborsche & @jeanpierremeier (@bureauborsche) let us in on the making of their sensory #Dekmantel23 identity.

Our Connects stage powered by @bud_nl returns to the Amsterdamse Bos on August 4th, 5th and 6th. This year’s lineups—curated by Dekmantel mainstays @youngmarco, @madmiran and @suze.ijo—are once again entirely comprised of local artists, repping the most audacious nooks and corners of The Netherlands' electronic music scene. #Dekmantel23

All that sunshine is making us think of just one thing: #Dekmantel23 is coming closer and closer, and we can’t wait to be back ❤️‍🔥

Marie K (@marie_k_music) knows what’s good. Continuing our Artist Picks series, the Dutch DJ/producer shines her spotlight on ‘Exercise of Concentration’ by emerging artist Javi (@luludinamo). “It gripped me from the start, as it has such a unique energy that really sets the dancefloor on fire. I love the way Javi combines old school trancy grooves and pop sounds with meticulous modern bleeps and bits.” [link in bio]

Wherever @madmiran goes, real vibes follow. In our new #Dekmantel23 short with @bud_nl, Amsterdam’s favourite music maniac lays out the road to “playing her stories for people” and doing things her own way. [link in bio] Track ID: @a_q_u_a_r_i_a_n - Rene Likes The Steak

Repping the Afro-diasporic underground by way of Portugal and the UK, @djdanifox is a master of heavy but infectious club rhythms influenced by Kuduro, Tarraxo and Lisbon ghetto.
