Plus Instruments (NL) + Desintresse (NL) + Hondenfokker (NL)

Plus Instruments is the ever-evolving project of Truus de Groot, born in Eindhoven and a pioneer of the Dutch underground scene. Since 1978, she has built her own musical universe where improvisation, minimalism, grooves and experimentation converge. Plus Instruments functions as an open collective that takes new form through changing collaborations - from the New York no-wave and experimental scene to decades of recordings and performances worldwide. Live, Truus works with Richard van Kruysdijk: driving rhythms, electronic sequences and hypnotic dynamics.

The Dutch coldwave trio Desinteresse combines vintage electronics, driving basslines and sparse rhythms. Founded in 2022, they quickly became a notable name in the European underground, with live shows where alienation and abandoned emotions take centre stage.

Hondenfokker operates between Amsterdam and Groningen at the intersection of rave and destruction. The trio throws sharp guitar riffs into a chunk of chaotic beats and analogue synth bass, with vocals that jump from catchy hooks to wild improvisation - made for the dancefloor and the moshpit.
