For the cyclists, the Tour de France is ending soon. But for our Trans-Europe Music Express train, it’s already time to leave the country, after a trip that had us chatting with Fakear and Zaho de Sagazan, listening to Vladimir Cauchemar and Johan Papaconstantino and discovering the best spots around Clermont-Ferrand with Malaka. Let’s head to another great homeland for bikes : the Netherlands ! We’ll pass through Utrecht, before reaching Amsterdam’s vibrant music scene.
What’s better to warm up (on or off the bike!) than a playlist created in collaboration with Robert Meijerink, head of programming and booker for the showcases and conferences festival ESNS (Eurosonic Noorderslag)? Every year, in January, the best European discoveries play all around the city of Groningen, in the North of the country, in front of festival goers and professionals, before handing over the stages to a fully Dutch line-up. He’s one of the best interlocutors if you want to take the pulse of this profuse Dutch scene. Welcome to the Netherlands !
