Songpot · Amsterdam Dance Event 2026

Instrumental quartet writing sits between chops, live groove and open-ended improvisation. The new material is beat-forward, but the textures stay loose: sax, keys, bass and drums moving from head-nod swing into dubby space and Brazilian-leaning harmony. On a live bill with Tomoki Sanders, expect a set that leans harder into interplay and pocket than into straight club mode.

More about RADIOHOP

RADIOHOP are a four-piece from Amsterdam built around equal parts and collective arranging, not a frontperson. Their debut All We Do was followed by HARD TO HANDLE on Melting Pot Music, and the Bandcamp notes place them in a lane touching soul, funk, jazz, broken beat and fusion. They also worked with Kid Sublime on a very limited Kill Your Darlings test pressing, which fits their connection to the Amsterdam beat and jazz crossover scene.

The track notes for All We Do credit Wayne Shorter’s 'Fall' as a composition source. In their own words
