SPACIFIC MET O.A. CYNTHIA SPIERING

Getting in touch with techno at the young age of 18, Cynthia Spiering has made quite a name for herself over the past years. It all started when she began working at the notorious Rotterdam cultural venue Perron. Fascinated by the way DJs delivered such inspiring sets, she decided to start practicing DJing herself. After countless hours of practice, she played her first gig in 2016.

Her sound is described as euphoric and hopeful, driven by hard, uncompromising kick drums. Old-school rave and acid influences run through her energetic sets, while she draws inspiration from artists such as DJ Rush, D.A.V.E. The Drummer, and DJ Misjah, as well as from long days by the sea. Cynthia successfully combines the strengths of the past with the present — a fusion clearly reflected in both her productions and DJ sets.

As a fast-rising DJ and producer, Cynthia has performed for some of the biggest organizations in the Dutch scene, including Rotterdam Rave, Welcome To The Future, Unpolished, and By The Creek. After releasing tracks and remixes on Everyone On Acid and ERADYS, she founded her own label and event series in 2019, titled Courtoisy Records. Through this platform, she releases music from both herself and other talented artists such as Falhaber, Brecc, and SWART.

"With a background in classical music, the cello being her first instrument, Locus Error brings a unique depth and dynamism to the techno stage. Years of musical training shaped her ear for detail and composition, which now translate into powerful, layered sets where her classical roots still resonate. Her resume includes performances at Awakenings, Loveland, 909, Sisyphos and Intercell. Locus Error’s sound is driving and dynamic, always balancing precision with raw energy. Beyond the booth, she co-runs the BALANS label and event series alongside Darko Esser, and serves on the board of the Stichting Nachtburgemeester Nijmegen, where she actively supports and shapes the cultural heartbeat of her city’s nightlife. An artist with vision, energy, and a distinctive musical signature — ready to take any dance floor into her universe."

Emerging from Zwolle’s underground, DJ Barkie is a core member of Nachtkantoor and a name synonymous with raw, unfiltered energy in the Dutch club scene. What began in the depths of electro and house has evolved into a full-throttle exploration of high-energy techno, trance and speedgarage. His sets are a relentless assault of fast-paced rhythms, deep low-end pressure, and euphoric breaks that keep the floor locked in and moving.

Driven by a love for dark grooves and high BPMs, Barkie blends the nostalgic grit of 90s rave with the raw pulse of modern club music. No frills, no compromises, just pounding kicks, warped basslines, and an instinctive sense for what the night needs. His sound is unpredictable but always laser-focused: genre boundaries blur, and the only constant is intensity.

As a producer, Barkie brings the same energy to his own releases. Recent highlights include "Corona – Try Me Out (DJ Barkie Remix)" and the original track "DJ Barkie – Together", both echoing his love for high-impact dance music with an edge. Whether he’s shaking the walls of a late-night warehouse or driving the energy in a packed club, DJ Barkie channels the spirit of the underground.
