Songpot · Amsterdam Dance Event 2026

Hard-edged live techno built from Roland x0x drums, analogue synths, and on-the-fly sequencing. Expect no two sets to match: rhythms are programmed live and the textures skew dark, punchy, and machine-forward.

More about Random XS

Random XS started in 1991 in Utrecht with Sander Friedeman and Arno Peeters, later joined by Frank de Groodt. Discogs ties them to Djax-Up-Beats through 'Give Your Body' and 'Braincloud', which puts them right in the Dutch acid/techno axis around Miss Djax’s label.
