Songpot · Amsterdam Dance Event 2026

Machine-driven electro with stripped drums, rubbery bass, and a dry, linear pulse. Based on the Djax-era material, expect close-to-the-grid club cuts rather than big-break theatrics.

More about The Operator

This is Frank de Groodt’s alias for the Djax-Up-Beats years, when he issued four EPs between 1997 and 1999 plus compilation appearances and a remix. He’s also worked under Fastgraph, Sonar Base, and The Optic Crux, and his records sit in the Dutch electro/acid lane around Djax and U-Trax.
