Douglas Firs is Gertjan Van Hellemont,
a young singer-musician-producer from Belgium who plays Harmony guitars and americana-like songs.
Beautiful music, actually.
The Hangin' DJ (Roel Idema) plays the alternative and obscure but doesn't shy away from the contemporary indiepop/stonerrock. Be ready for a balanced mix of Wave, grunge, rock-'n-roll and tunes that will set your feet on fire.
This interactive and real shooting gallery is based on Marinetti's manifest Futurismo. Futurists reject to the idea of the vulnerable, everyday human chasing the dream of perfection. Instead they choose chaos as a starting point for art, Modern art? One 100 years later there is still an urge to clean up. We invite you to take a gun and Kill the Moonshine. Shoot your sentimental darlings, make way for the Future.
Casper Adrian's music is disarming and straightforward. In his songs he questions himself and the world around him. While he's not afraid to ask the big questions, life's simpler themes are paid attention as well. His style is a typical mix of folk, blues and pop and he strives to find a perfect balance between entertainment and awareness.
