Songpot · Amsterdam Dance Event 2026

Live-band versions of slick disco, funk and house with big vocals, synth sheen and a tight rhythm section. Expect songs from Velvet Seas alongside older cuts, with the band format pushing them warmer and more open than a straight DJ set.

Velvet Seas, released in 2025, was written between Leiden and Los Angeles and features a long list of vocal collaborators; the live show here is led by Berenice van Leer and Ivar Vermeulen.
