More about the artists
Pink Oculus
Esperanza Denswil, better known by her stage name Pink Oculus, first introduced herself to the world in 2013 with her incredible Bouba Dola collaboration ‘Sweat’.

Tim Vantol
Ups and downs, victory and defeat, hope and despair; life probably provides more stumbling blocks than stepping-stones. For this very reason, it’s nice that there are musicians like Tim Vantol that accompany you not only on the sunny side of life, but also help you through rainy days. The singer-songwriter has been a sought-after guest on smaller and larger stages for a number of years having become support act of choice for punk legend Chuck Ragan and appeared at festivals like Lowlands and Groezrock.

Klyne
Earlier in the year Klyne introduced themselves with the confident and fully formed sound of debut single Paralyzed. The song delivered an amazing mix of effortless and hook-laden production courtesy of Ferdous and a vocal pitched with such soulful warmth that its bearer, Nick Klein came across with an undeniable star quality. New single Closer, sets the duo apart as a hugely exciting prospect for 2016.

PAUW
Fresh from conquering Eurosonic, Dutch psych rockers PAUW have recently released their debut album ‘Macrocosm Microcosm’ through Caroline International. PAUW meld influences including Earth & Fire, Pink Floyd, Tame Impala and Temples to soporific effect. Drowned In Sound called the album “Macrocosm Microcosm is an accomplished and ambitious record that works on every level” joining the likes of MOJO, Clash and Shindig praising their innate songwriting ability on their new LP. PAUW are undoubtedly psych pop’s new ambassadors.

Amber Arcades
Amber Arcades is the moniker of Dutch-born musician Annelotte de Graaf. Her new record, recorded in New York with producer Ben Greenberg (Beach Fossils, The Men, Destruction Unit) and backed by a band consisting of members of Real Estate, Quilt and Kevin Morby is as dreamy and esoteric as it is gripping, presenting floating pop melodies over a mixture of kraut-inspired drums, cutting guitars and fuzzed-out organs.

Causes
Four piece indie pop band Causes’ debut single Teach Me How To Dance With You was released in late 2014 in Holland and proved an immediate success; first being playlisted across all major radio stations and then quickly gaining Platinum status. With massive tours now under their belts including stops at Pinkpop & Appelpop as well as a headline show at the prestigious Paradiso in Amsterdam. Causes’ debut album, produced by Ian Grimble (Bears Den, Daughter) will be released in 2016 through RCA/PIAS.
