Simplon UP
Praatstoel + Cody

‘‘Hij zit weer op de praatstoel’‘. How many times have you heard it? De praatstoel  is seen as something bad, something vile, something vain – and rightly so. People who sit in the talking chair say too many things you don’t want to hear. That’s why we sat on it. Talking Chair is there for the things you do want to hear. It is the world’s newest musical trio consisting of frontmen Thijs van de Vorstenbosch (Leuk Gevonden), Tom Röfekamp (not sure, Lauwe Kriek, tomas) and producer titan Giga Roy. With their mix of rock-hard hip-hop, danceable electro and unbridled enthusiasm, Praatstoel gets even the stiffest of rakes moving.

Cody is a 22-year-old artist from Groningen, known for his versatile and self-reflective musical style. With deep, personal lyrics and a compelling sound, he invites listeners to dive into his story. His music has solid roots in hip-hop, but also incorporates rich influences from funk, soul and pop. Inspired by artists such as Anderson .Paak, Mac Miller, Black Wave and Kendrick Lamar, Cody creates a distinctive style that stands out on the Dutch music scene. Be surprised and come dance on 5 June during Simplon UP.
