1UP
thecoolrapper + Captain J. Wright + Maryscoovy + Kronische VermoeidHeit

The last UP of this season is just around the corner, and traditionally we close with a bang: 1UP! This evening is all about retro video games. Play classic Mario games on the SNES, discover work by local artists in a special exhibition and dance the night away with a heavy dose of live music and DJ sets. Put on your best Pac-Man outfit and step into a world of 8-bit nostalgia!

thecoolrapper has a distinct voice from Latvia that weaves raw emotion, nostalgia and irony into quirky hip-hop. thecoolrapper surprises with DIY visuals, unpredictable beats and a performance that feels as personal as it is mysterious. An act that is sure to stick with you.

Captain J. Wright makes dreamy indie soul full of stories, with influences from the soul and jazz of the 50s and 60s, New Orleans and even Jungle Book. Expect warm guitar sounds, playful psychedelia and a performance that takes you to another time.

Maryscoovy makes garage psychpunk at its rawest – straight from a grimy kitchen in Friesland. This band serves up a chaotic, explosive sound with ever-changing line-ups. No two gigs are the same. Do you dare take a bite of their fuzz sandwich?

Kronische VermoeidHeit is a unique live techno experience with analogue synths, drum computers, visuals and even live guitar. Everything is improvised, hypnotic and immersive. This is no ordinary DJ set or band – this is an audiovisual trip you have to experience live.

Alongside the bands, DJ Zsazsa and Madurodarm are also on hand to raise the mercury. Expect a danceable mix of retro vibes, beats and surprises that perfectly match the theme of the evening. The roof will be off during this finale of the UP season!
