Songpot · Amsterdam Dance Event 2026

Badderman is a reggae-dancehall artist, not a club act. The set is likely to lean on sung hooks, steady skanks, and a live-room feel rather than DJ tools or hard-edged rhythm pressure.

More about Badderman

He is Mark Abente, first known alongside Koyeba and rooted in Suriname’s interior. ADE’s own text places him in Gowtu’s Suriname-focused scene, where Amsterdam-based promoters have spent years platforming new artists and tying Surinamese music to diaspora audiences in Europe. He has also moved further into a solo career, including a major concert at Melkweg.

A story
