Doudou MD

Born from a Dutch classical singer/pianist player and a Congolese percussionist drummer, it comes as no surprise that the art of playing music literally runs through her veins. Her mostly vinyl sets are 90's UK/US/DE inspired, supported by strong percussion, rhythms and a spiritual touch. Always aiming to engage in a conversation with her crowd, dancing to her sets will release that inner gangster gut feeling in you. Body focused, voluptuous house and techno at its best. Doudou MD strongly believes music has the power to heal and serve as a medicine, which is one of the main reasons music has always been at the core of her life. Following her ears and heart when digging for new records, her bag is constantly being re-filled with a rich variety of music. Although the rhythms and genre of her selection may vary, the constant factor is her unmistakable love for every track she lays on the record player. After spending her early (club)years in Utrecht and Amsterdam, surrounded by her forever cherished Slapfunk and VBX brothers, she spent 5 years in Berlin. Here clubs like Berghain, Hoppetosse and Ohm played a big influence on her musical and personal developments. She takes much of her inspiration from artist like Zip, Roman Flügel, Paul Johnson, as well as Steve O’Sullivan and Mr. G. Back in Amsterdam today, never taking the experience of the dance floor lightly, she fine-tuned her view of the ultimate club experience all over the world. Perfecting this craft is a never ending process, making her upcoming gigs all the more interesting for both crowd and artist.

Matisa

Born in Rome, but currently based in the Italian capital of fashion and design, Milan, Isabella (aka Matisa) has been plugging away at her sound, formulating her signature energy that is bright, bubbling and emotional. Matisa picked up DJing in her mid-teens after feeling her creative expression was hindered by traditional musical instruments. After graduating with a degree in Political Science, with the prospect of working in government, Matisa felt her creative side yearning for more freedom, hence studying and later receiving a Masters in Fashion Product Management at Polimoda: one of the top fashion institutes in the world. Since her debut EP on Optimo Music in 2019, Matisa has released music with Permanent Vacation, Biologic Records, Dischi Autunno, Butter Sessions, On Loop and Steel City Dance Discs. 2023 releases include the hugely successful Tongue EP on Peggy Gou’s imprint GUDU Records and Cuddle EP on SOS Records.

The forthcoming releases include two singles set to drop on Future Classic. Gaining support from Dixon, Seth Troxler, Ben UFO, Jennifer Cardini, Gerd Janson, Nicola Cruz, Sally C, Moxie and Peggy Gou amongst many others, is all testament to her infectious energy. Now with no boundaries to artistic influence or expression and keeping strong ties with both the fashion and music industries, Matisa not only works and collaborates with top brands and talented designers but seamlessly and authentically ties both careers and passions together. “My music is born to inspire expression and encourage you to lose yourself in the moment.”

Prunk

DJ/producer Prunk is working at his own pace, but this doesn’t mean he’s taking things slow. His label PIV, which he started in 2015, has been steadily releasing EP’s, like his own production ‘Sexy Brasil’ for instance. The EP was released on the imprint in the spring of 2016. Next to being head honcho of the label and producing records, Prunk has been playing gigs around the world, with Brazil (D.EDGE, São Paulo) and Bali (Jenja) as two of his main features. Prunk, who’s been dj-ing for over 10 years, has found himself the perfect way to remain relevant and relaxed and that’s by doing all he’s doing his own way, together with people he likes working with. This relaxed attitude towards his dj-ing, plus his infectious vibe in the booth got him resident for Straf_Werk. Prunk is also regular at DGTL, this year he played for their festival in Barcelona as well. It’s not just Prunk’s relaxed approach that gets him to play the gigs he does though. His warm and sexy, but always dancefloor orientated and uplifting sound that finds its influences in artists like Kerri Chandler, Djebali, Mark Farina and Mr Ks is definitely attracting attention from many promoters as well. These past two year he’s played at places like Miami, Dominican Republic, Moscow, Monaco, Barcelona, Austria, São Paulo, Switzerland and many Dutch festivals like Awakenings, Amsterdam Open Air, Verknipt Festival and Loveland Festival. With his Indonesian roots, playing at Bali’s finest club Jenja, where he’s been asked back twice, feels like a homecoming party to Prunk. While playing at Sao Paolo’s high-end club D.EDGE was nothing less of a dream either. Coming year sees more respected gigs for Prunk with another round of Amsterdam Open Air, Nassau Festival, All We Want Festival, Welcome to the Future Festival and the highly anticipated PIV stage hosting at The Ark; a party cruise which sets sail in Barcelona and then travels to Ibiza. From the start of the PIV label Prunk has been hosting labelnights at clubs like Chicago Social Club, De Marktkantine, Annabel and also in Malta. PIV has found its newest residency in Amsterdam’s freshest club Claire, where the first edition in April has Paolo Rocco and Mr Ks are on the line-up next to Chris Stussy and himself. It is with Stussy that Prunk has found his sparring partner. Prunk scouted the young artist a couple of years ago, as he also did with Bas Roos. Prunk and Stussy have played multiple gigs together, but they also spent time in the studio. Which resulted in the release of the ‘Material’ EP on EWax in the winter of 2016. Another production by the duo, the ‘Life EP’, was released on Moulton Music. Both EP’s caught the attention of vocalist Alex Mills, who you can hear on Miguel Campbell’s hit Something Special. Prunk and Mills hooked up in the studio with No Cure as a result. Together with Roos he produced the track What I Do, which found its way unto the Defected in the house Ibiza 2016 compilation. By the look of things Prunk has found his place in the fast moving world of dj-ing and producing and it doesn’t seem he’s going anywhere soon.
