Ci Seryne started her career off in Hip Hop. She released two tracks on the “BBQ” beat-CD of Studio West and produced infomercials and leaders for Dutch radio stations as Getmixed Radio and FunX. This creative beast wanted more and nurtured her fine self with the DJ element as her second nature. As part of the all-female DJ formation Rags2Riches she turned tables on stages as Paradiso, Sinners, Powerzone, The Sand, Club Rain en Hotel Arena. Ci expanded the list solo with Club Nyx, The Supper club Amsterdam and Off Corso Rotterdam. She is currently part of the ambient, future, hiphop and electronic spoken word duo Poetronic.
This producer/DJ has a soft spot for the classics and a keen eye for the sound of tomorrow. Solo she is that DJ bringing you the freshest tunes!

The Alvares Sisters grew up with the love for dance. They all started around the age of 5 and are training ever since. Throughout the years they all developed a specialty in which they train, perform and teach.

Precious is a queen in Afro
Sigourney in Hip Hop Old skool
And Shanity is specialized in Feminine.

Although they've been dancing in the same environment for years now, they've never made a piece and performed it together. This Sunday we get that real taste of sisterhood! We are honored :)

Once she welcomed the violent love she had in abundance.
Then there were limited heaps and leftovers that she spat out every now and then.
Now the love is a calm ocean, with one toe dipped into this new life.
Tieka gives and Tieka takes, always, with love.

Heeeereeeeeeeeee's Tirsa With! She is the founding chair of the political youth organisation RADICAAL, which aims to provide youth with a platform to strive for radical equality. RADICAAL is the youth branch of the political party BIJ1, and Tirsa is the youth representative on the party's board. Next to her activism, she studies sociology and culture at Amsterdam University College.

Tirsa loosely identifies as Surinamese, Dutch, woman, genderq***r, q***r and black feminist. She started writing as an act of self care, which results in poetry that is personal, melancholic and socially critical. We bet you curious about the beholder of this mind huh?!
