Songpot · Amsterdam Dance Event 2026

Tom Trago moves between clipped drums, synth lines, disco bass, and house swing, with enough soul and broken-beat seasoning to keep it human. In a club context he can go wide and colourful, but the records still hit as DJ tools first.

More about Tom Trago

He came up in Amsterdam’s coffee shops and broke through with Rush Hour’s 2006 release “Live With The BBQ.” His work sits in the Dutch underground that connects Rush Hour, Voyage Direct, and the city’s deeper house-and-disco tradition.

A story

His first big break came when Rush Hour released his debut single “Live With The BBQ” in 2006. In their own words
