LineUp: The Heykids! (NL), Dj Beware (FM4), Functionist (FM4)
Living and working in one of the dancemeccas of the world, THE HEYKIDS set themselves apart through their startling nack for recognising what’s new and exciting in underground dance music. Serving it up with big flair since 2007, they’ve rocked Amsterdam with a number of critically acclaimed, high profile parties and more memorable dj sets than they care to recall.
Things got started with the now-legendary Fightclub parties in 2007, where they hosted the likes of Ed Banger and Institubes crews, kick-starting the nu-rave electro hype for the lowlands. Early ‘09 they decided to rekindle the Fightclub fire with TAFKAF, to promote the fresh intensity of the contemporary house groove. This resulted in a six-month tour de force with guests Boy 8-bit, New Judas crew, Duke Dumont, Justin Martin, Solo and Renaissance Man. Their point was not lost on the Amsterdam underground and beyond, firmly establishing the so-called midget house sound as the next big thing to jack Europe.
In the spring of 2008, they took up a challenge in organising the weekly wednesday night for the hottest club of the capital, Studio 80. Within a year, Katapult was voted ‘Best New Party’ at the prestigious ‘Golden Gnome’ awards in poptemple Paradiso. Now the most infamous weekday party in town, Katapult serves up midweekmayhem for a diverse crowd of hipsters, hobos and hustlers united only in their will to party, plus a stunning lack of obligations the day after.
Although they keep themselves well busy throwing parties, DJ’ing is what THE HEYKIDS do best and love most. As a dj-team, they’ve specialised in a number of upcoming styles and genres throughout their career - not being afraid to move away from established party music they’re always one step ahead of the game. Ask anyone who’s been on their dancefloor and survived: THE HEYKIDS DJS play quality music to make you lose your shit with a smile.
Today the name of the game is housemusic and in Amsterdam, THE HEYKIDS are in a league of their own with a banging, versatile take on this most universal genre of dancemusic. Intensely inspired by loads of experience behind the decks, these guys know exactly what they want to play out for a crowd and are in the studio creating just that sound, expecting to start releasing it next year. Ahead of that, this year has seen THE HEYKIDS go international with gigs that rocked Berlin, Zurich, Lisbon and London, confirming them as members of the new group of defining artists for the continent.
