Slapdash 
Slapdash is an innovative jazz piano trio led by pianist and composer Ray Hijink, they're known for their unique blend between jazz and classical music. Joined by Dutch drummer Micky Laheij and Italian double bassist Davide Codazzo, the trio delivers performances filled with playful improvisations and deeply emotive compositions, captivating audiences with their rich textures and interesting rhythms. They've worked with notable artists such as Bill Laurence and Vadim Neselovskyi to further enhance their sound, which balances tradition with contemporary avant-garde influences. Through their music, Slapdash invites listeners to go on a musical journey, as their music is all about story-telling and interplay. Their music can best be described as peaceful, playful, thoughtful yet daring. 

Nuukulaer  
Experimental, eclectic, energetic - these words aptly describe the essence of Nuukulær, whose passion for electronic music influences their free improvisations profoundly. 
Their spontaneous, off-the-cuff interactions are surprising, refreshing, and transport the listener to an unusual sonic landscape, where their imagination can run free. 
Drummer Gaël Clément draws inspiration from drum’n’bass and beat-oriented music and supplies the rhythmic underpinning on which bassist Tom Schmit roams. His unique use of effect pedals defies expectations of the bass guitar’s usual setting and bridges the gap between the solid beats and hypnotic sound scapes keyboardist Moritz Schippers conjures up. 
Because their music can take an unsuspected turn in every moment, each live performance is a different, exciting journey.
