Simplon UP:
Kidd Nebula + kotokid

Kidd Nebula is a multi-instrumentalist and daydreamer from Leeuwarden, who released his debut album I Don’t Like Any of You last summer. Kidd Nebula wrote, recorded and pressed this psychedelic indie-funk album all by himself. The 80’s synths, funky basslines, clean beats and storytelling lyrics are reminiscent of Funkadelic, Mac Miller and Red Hot Chili Peppers. Let this Simplon UP take you on a psychedelic trip through the cosmos with Kidd Nebula’s old-school jazzy vibes and modern beats!

The second multi-instrumentalist of the night is kotokid from Amsterdam. Through analog synthesizers, drumcomputers and samplers with live drums, guitar and bass guitar, Freek Mulder creates a dynamic fusion of 80’s jazz fusion, modern hip-hop and indie R&B. He uses improvisation as much as composition in his music and will perform it live with the help of Maarten Cima on guitar and Jonathan Szegedi on drums. After years of experience as a bass player and producer, it was time for kotokid to spread his wings and release his own music. He named his debut UP Fledge, as in the period that young birds go through before their wings are large enough to fly. You don’t want to miss this unique music experience, so join kotokid on his flight during UP!
