Songpot · Amsterdam Dance Event 2026

Expect a live set built from programmed drums, piano, synth lines and tight edits rather than a straight DJ mix. His work sits between club pressure and concert-room phrasing, with a cleaner, more harmonic pull than a peak-time warehouse set.

More about Henrik Schwarz

He comes out of Berlin’s Innervisions orbit and his own Sunday Music, with releases on labels including !K7, Defected, Ninja Tune and Verve. He matters because he made the bridge between house records, jazz players and orchestral writing feel practical instead of theoretical; his projects with Bugge Wesseltoft and MEUTE sit right in that lane.
