Songpot · Amsterdam Dance Event 2026

Expect bright disco edits, Latin-leaning percussion, and glossy vocal hooks, with the kind of club tempo that keeps the room moving rather than grinding it down. His releases and live sets lean toward post-disco, house, and freestyle crossover material, with a lot of familiar radio-friendly melody and extended DJ mix energy.
