Laurie Ann can be recognised by her dreamy sound, with roots in indie/dreampop. Bigbeefsauce is a Dutch-speaking rapper with catchy raps and high stage energy. Together they made the song Paradise at a writers' camp in January 2024, and by now they have a veritable arsenal of new music.

Bad Luck Baby 22:20
Bad Luck Baby shows that adversity can bring the greatest creativity: after a long and ambitious search, Cath Harryvan and Ian Wijma have found their perfect place in the vibrant northern Dutch music scene. The duo blends the grungy alt-rock of Wolf Alice and the power-woman pop of Paramore into a unique blend of synths, riffs and sultry vocals. Bad Luck Baby tells stories - about despair and happiness and human existence - all of which is expressed in their dynamic live shows.
