Zombie Nation

'Zombie Nation'
Zombie Nation is al sinds 1999 een bekend gezicht binnen de electro scene. De hit Kernkraft 400 staat bij vele in het geheugen gegrift en haalde in veel landen de top van de muzieklijsten. Zombie Nation heeft echter niet stilgezeten. 3 albums later is het nog steeds een van de leidende acts op het gebied van electro en dat gaan op 23 november tijdens Playgrounds zien!

Huoratron

'Huoratron'
Huoratron staat ook wel bekend als �The Bearded Beast from Finland� en dat is niet voor niks. Zijn mix van electronica is hard en direct. Huoratron weet perfect hoe hij het publiek moet opzwepen. Dit deed hij al online met zijn spraakmakende clips maar ook live is deze energiekeling niet te versmaden

Raveyards

'Raveyards'
Op Playgrounds Night is ook ruimte voor de betere dubstep in de vorm van Raveyards. Deze Belgen mengen vocals met glitch achtige beats wat zorgt voor een donkere melancholische sfeer die kan wedijveren met Nine Inch Nails.

Memory Tapes 'Yes I Know

'Memory Tapes 'Yes I Know" Music Video'
I love the CG use in this video. While the music is kind off Lo-Fi the CG could have easily mismatched it. But the use of Black & White and well executed VFX makes this a beauty!
