Petroll
Petroll is a young producer from Groningen, The Netherlands. With releases on the rising label Differential, Skank & Bass, Celcius recordings, Soul Lab and Influenza Media and with exciting collaborations with Arch Origin, Dustkey, vocalist Lottie Woordward, Aetherial and Alex Tweaker he has presented his sound to the drum and bass scene.
This mix was inspired by the Covid-19 outbreak. So used to DJing every weekend for the last two years, and spending every free summer day partying at some festival or stage, it was hard having to sit at home alone. Like many, I felt isolated and became very insecure about the future and importance of DJs, performers, the nightlife and art in general. This led to a strange kind of anger directed at the people I normally love and adore.
This mix is the attempt to turn this anger into something positive. You’ll hear songs that motivate you to keep going and never forget how awesome and wholesome the nightlife is; reminding you what it’s like to dress up in amazing styles and find love and acceptance in dancing together in the dark.

Coco Coquelicot
I started DJing in 2014 because I wanted to dance to more alternative music than the Groningen scene had to offer at that time. Soon after that I became a part of the team of radio Oorsmeer, a local, weekly, underground and hipster radio show that has been running for over ten years.
After years of working and DJing mostly in the live music scene of Groningen, in particular that of jazz and indie bands, I’m now taking my first steps into the more electronic dance music genres. The result is a unique sound that transcends the limits of any specific genre but is notably, and without a doubt, me.
Our music is only available for purchase through Bandcamp. Other stores take a too high share. Also we haven’t developed our own store yet.

Abokin
Elmar van Arnhem, stage name Abokin, was born and raised in the local area of Groningen.
His interest in music started with Drum & Bass and other underground electronic styles. Slowly he started to get into Dubstep, Bass music and Breakbeat,
and even later on Techno and House.
Following his passion for all things groovy, he started to work in a record shop in Groningen. Following the latest trends, what people would usually buy and had interest in, while always being on the lookout for what new styles had the most chance in becoming the next hype.
After a while he started having his first gigs as a DJ, playing around the Netherlands in venues like Club Hemingway (Leeuwarden), ACU (Utrecht), Simplon, Vera and Paradigm
(Groningen), with a steady focus on growing further in the scene.
Welcoming him to UNDFND, he’s coming with a full-on Album to showcase his love for all styles he fell in love with since his beginning, which will contain DnB, Dubstep, Techno, House, Breakbeat, Ambient, and some guitar performances as well.
For UNDFND SET #5 we have Nicolò Faggiani; the Groningen-based vinyl master!
The mix reflects such a passion for music, including some of his favorite atmospheric dub techno and ambient tracks from his vinyl collection. This musical journey is a moment of suspension from everyday life to dive into an alternative world shaped by echoes, reverbs, and infinite sonic landscapes.
It features old records from godfathers of dub techno such as Deepchord, Fluxion, Cv313 as well well recent releases discovered during a long process of selection and listening.
At the end of the mix, you can also recognize Nicolò’s dub-reggae influence, with some tracks paying homage to such a music genre.

Marcus Deniz
Marcus Deniz has been keeping himself busy with a lot of creative yet straightforward material. Being active in photography, music production, DJ’ing and hosting his own parties, he won’t be stopping anytime soon.
Starting out in photography work and collaborations, he met some people who also played out records in clubs, which inspired him to do the same.
Already having an interest in all things music, he started delving deeper into groovey house and clubby minimal territory, and would be on the lookout for the next best records to play, slowly but steadily building up his collection.
After a while, he created his event series, which was called 7even Collective. The premiere would be called Time Vault, which was themed about taking us back in time to club culture 20 years ago.
Next to that, he’s done sets already for Hello Strange podcasts and
Deep Electronics, upping his name and also his game.
He currently also has his BOYS LOCKER ROOM Series, in which they showcase many styles of electronic music, with a continuously growing audience.

Aron SC
Dutch born and raised Aron SC didn’t begin his music production journey in the realm of dance music. Tapping into genres like future garage and witch house, he initially focussed on achieving an atmospheric and dreamy sound rather than wanting to make people dance.
In 2018 he started experimenting with techno after being heavily exposed to Groningen’s underground dance scene, frequenting clubs like Paradigm and OOST. From then he discovered his new love for hard and upbeat techno.
Heavily inspired by the UK and French techno scenes, AronSC strives to create fast, driving techno with hard-hitting kicks.

The first track creates the base, the second track solidifies and the third track will make you dance; are you ready to undergo this journey?

Rabee Kanafani
Rabee grew up regularly going to the cinema. This was a foundational experience for him, as he soaked up the textural soundscapes of the music made for the big screens and the emotions behind the motion pictures.
Rabee is passionate about creating visceral music. He drew inspiration from the people around him, nature, and the incredible experiences we go through as humans. For Rabee, music has always been an inward search and an introspective and cathartic exploration.
In music Rabee explores the symbolism behind light, darkness, spirituality, and the meaning of life. His compositions are poignant and emotionally moving.
