Martha Spark(s) aka Martha ZMK, is always taking you on a journey. She has been doing this for 25 years with the ZMK Soundsystem and next to that as a DJ at all kinds of teknivals. She is known for her dynamic sets that make you freak.
BangBass has its roots in Italy, but they have been living in The Hague + Rotterdam for some time.
You probably know them from acid & tekno releases on labels like Zodiak Commune/Tekno Sucks/Narcosis & Hzd Records, but in recent years they have been mostly active with industrial techno.
Their home base, Scuderia Records, is ranked for hard kicks, hammered rythmics and dark atmospheres. For Loophole, BangBass will take you with them to their playground.
Gavin was a regular act at parties such as Masters of Hardcore, Decibel, Beter Kom Je Niet and Hardcore4Life. As D-Spirit, he has performed all over Europe.
He remains true to his roots, but as the saying goes: fish’n’chips are very tasty, but eating fish’n’chips every day is very boring. With his alter-ego Formshift, he moves through the wonderful world of electro, techno & acid. His track ‘Devolution’ has been used for Cyberpunk 2077, among others, he has released tracks with Lenny Dee. Next to that: a release from Gavin on Umwelt’s label Ravebreakerz is coming out soon.
In addition, Formshift is making a promo mix for Loophole, the link of this will be on our site soon.
The timetable is yet to come online, but we can announce the closing act of our vivacious rave: Collision vs Vexer. For the first time ever, these locals will do a B2B and take you back to the golden years of the 90s. A set full of high quality early hardcore, traditional gabber and more. Cult Collective vs. Rave-O-Lution, maximum carnage!
