Paradigm x ZeeZout 2024
Saturday, Feb 3, 2:00 PM, Paradigm, Groningen
Even though summer’s still so, so far away, a daytime festival is a welcome surprise no matter the season. Eleven artists, including S-candalo, DJ Europarking, Naone, Job Jobse, and Helena Hauff, make their way to Groningen’s old sugar factory for a day of fast-paced trance and bass-heavy techno.
ZeeZout and Paradigm’s events were among the most sought-after in 2023, so imagine the force on the floor when they team up.

BASIS/ Rebekah all night long
Saturday, Feb 3, 11:00 PM, BASIS, Utrecht
Leave it up to Rebekah to entertain dancers all night long. She plays tracks so fast the speed is afraid of her and doesn’t shy away from basses that drill even the sturdiest ribcages.
To say Rebekah only plays techno would do her no justice because hardcore, breaks, and even hardstyle are nothing new to the London-based DJ. Catch her in BASIS, Utrecht’s rawest club, this Saturday.
