Line-up Relate Radio

August 14 | Ukab
Ukab brings a vibrant mix of Latin American rhythms and global club sounds to the dancefloor. His sets blend guaracha, tribal, electrocumbia, and dembow with breakbeat, house, electro, bass, and techno—all with one goal: to get your body moving. Whether it’s sultry downtempo beats or high-energy Mexican tribal rhythms, Ukab knows how to ignite every moment.

August 15 | Made Of Sugar
Made of Sugar (also known as Orsen Central) is a DJ from Groningen with a deep passion for the many flavors of electronic music. While Orsen Central focuses on the heavier, more serious sounds, Made of Sugar explores the lighter, playful side. Inspired by classic disco and 80s Italo, he blends modern production with old-school vibes for an energetic, nostalgic mix.

August 16 | aotp
Born with music in her blood and classically trained as a child, aotp discovered her love for electronic music in her early twenties. For the past three years, she’s been spinning records and exploring a wide range of subgenres, embracing the endless possibilities in between. She weaves sounds and rhythms freely across genres to create enchanting soundscapes that resonate with both listeners and dancers.

August 17 | Oldschooltronica w/ Neon Wasabi
Neon Wasabi is based in Groningen and her cultural background combines the best of both the Western and Eastern worlds. Next to dj-ing and practicing her love for music and dancing, she is also dreaming of space travel and the ways to realize it. As a kid, she used to (secretly) listen to her uncle's new age and dream trance cassette tapes, which resulted in her love for synth based and electronic music. Nowadays, 90% of the time she still prefers the classic sound from the 90's and Y2K, with genres varying from disco house, hard house, progressive and trance, as long as it has that old school vibe." For Noorderzon, she's taking it a bit slower: Sunday evening will be filled with lower tempos, loungy sounds, and genres like downtempo, trip-hop, and warm house. Still with that old-school touch, of course.

August 18 | Fruit Salad (hybrid set) w/ Ambu Bambu
Ambu Bambu presents Fruit Salad: a multisensory experience for lovers of fruity vibes. Known in the Groningen electronic scene for adventurous DJ sets and their radio show Electronic Identity Crisis, they now bring you a hybrid live experience full of ambient and experimental electronica—deliciousness guaranteed!

August 19 | MELT w/ Syze
Once known for the atmospheric drum&bass and liquid funk concept of the same name in Leiden (pre-Champion Sound), Syze now spins eclectic sounds on Relate Radio. He blends around downtempo, hip-hop, breakbeat and house with still the occasional dash of “fast soul music”. His sets build slowly and carry a raw, playful energy - perfect for dancing or simply vibing.

August 20 | Palla d'Uovo w/ DJ Firetower
Palla d’Uovo brought Mediterranean flair to the Netherlands’ northernmost city with italo disco and good vibes. DJ Firetower, founder of the collective, mixes genres using colorful synthesizers as his signature. Expect a sparkling set that’s sure to set Noorderzon ablaze.

August 21 | ONID
Hedwig, better known as ONID, is a Groningen-based DJ with a driven, distinctive style full of deep modular sounds. Her sets are marked by experimental tones, growling basslines, and surprising percussion. She’s performed at venues like OOST and Paradigm, curates events, holds a residency at SPOKEN, and contributes to programming at Relate Radio.

August 22 | Roly Poly w/ LGnius
After leaving her mark in places like Lake Constance, Stuttgart, Berlin, and underground raves in Stockholm, this genre-defying artist has made Groningen her home. Her sets blend Bassline, Dubstep, Juke, UKG, and Jungle—with one aim: to get your body moving before your mind catches up. LGnius treats every set like a story—a living archive that doesn’t just fill space, but shapes it.

About the artist

After previously residing in music venues OOST and VERA, Relate Radio now broadcasts from its very own studio near the Noorderplantsoen. Take a 1 minute detour from our festival, and you’ll find it. Streaming over 20 hours of music each week, the programming is inclusive, and DJs bring heartfelt selections to the ether. In a world where social isolation, gatekeeping, and xenophobia are on the rise, this community of music lovers pushes back - bringing together people from different backgrounds, while reflecting on the world around them.
