Songpot · Amsterdam Dance Event 2026

Bright, rolling trance with psytrance pressure underneath it. Expect long builds, clean synth leads, tight drums, and the kind of set that lifts into hands-up peak-time rather than going abstract.

More about Protoculture

Nate Raubenheimer is the South African producer behind Protoculture, and Discogs/Beatport place him in the trance and psytrance lane with releases stretching back to Refractions on Nano Records in 2003. He has remixed and collaborated with Armin van Buuren, Paul Oakenfold, Markus Schulz, and Max Graham, which puts him squarely in the international main-room trance circuit.
