State OFFF, Zimbabwe-born and Amsterdam-based, has been igniting dancefloors worldwide with his bold productions and high-energy sets, earning a spot on Mixmag’s “Top 25 Artists to Watch in 2025.”
As a DJ, State OFFF’s command of the dance floor is unrivalled. Whether playing iconic venues like Berlin’s Berghain Panorama Bar or headlining his 24-stop Naughty Boy World Tour across 17 cities, his performances are immersive and electrifying. In 2024, he joined Jyoty’s We’ve Been Here Before tour, delivering an unforgettable set at Edinburgh’s Liquid Room. His festival appearances at Dekmantel, Lente Kabinet, Listen Festival, Climate of Fear, and three consecutive years at Amsterdam Dance Event (ADE) further solidify his reputation as a must-see electronic music act.
Lina Bautista aka Linalab, is a musician, artist, educator and developer who combines modular synths, DIY electronics and computers to make music. She’s part of collectives like Toplap Barcelona and Axolot.cat
Timo Hoogland aka tmhgld is a live coder, computational artist, music technologist and educator from the Netherlands. He livecodes electronic dance music and develops generative audiovisual compositions and installations. During his Master of Music Design he developed the livecoding environment Mercury. He teaches creative coding and algorithmic audiovisual composition in the Bachelor Music Technology at the HKU University of the Arts Utrecht.
Niki Scheijen aka Nikilia is a Dutch media artist with a passion for live visuals. In livecoding she finds the freedom of expression and error she craves, keeping things experimental and embracing the beautiful chaos of code performed in real-time.
Jobi traverses the Dutch hardcore and algorave scenes, using custom software to create a proudly joyful mess of hard experimental pop. Through live coding, they mangle together samples from video games, heavy machinery and chart hits into chaotic club bangers. Jobi is the alias of Jo Kroese, a data scientist, artist and musician based in Amsterdam. Their work focuses on using technology to make the world more joyful and just.
Sabrina Verhage is an interactive media designer and creative technologist highly fascinated by the influence of modern technology on human behavior. Striving to stimulate diversity and make knowledge more accessible, Sabrina co-founded Creative Coding Amsterdam a monthly meetup for enthusiasts. There she got introduced to the electrifying world of live coding and is excited to now help spread the love by live coding visuals herself. sabrinaverhage.com
Saskia Freeke creates generative, computational art on a daily basis. Both her works and her practice stand out by their distinctive playful characteristic. By creating her own rules and playfully adapting these as she goes, Saskia applies a notable evolving narrative to her work. The act of Live coding provides an awesome complementary context to her discourse - for it is the realtime exercise amongst and in conjunction with creative peers that make her contemporary artistic principles come into full play.
