Songpot · Amsterdam Dance Event 2026

Saunderson’s sets sit in sturdy Detroit techno and house: machine drums, rubbery bass, and clean, functional mixes that keep the floor moving rather than reaching for drama. Expect classics, KMS-era cuts, and newer Detroit-facing material rather than a nostalgia set.

More about Kevin Saunderson

He came up in Detroit as one of the Belleville Three and built KMS, plus projects like Inner City and E-Dancer, into core parts of the city’s techno export line. The key detail is the Reese bass, which became a staple sound across UK and European club music after his early records spread outwards.
