Polynation
Polynation, a Dutch music duo known for their eclectic blend of electronica, ambient, and world music, has thrilled audiences worldwide, whether on festival stages, club dance floors, or through home speakers. Their distinctive organic and cinematic sound emerges from live improvisations and forms the basis for both carefully produced studio tracks and captivating live performances.
Connected by melancholic chord progressions, driving rhythms, and electro-acoustic textures, the duo's adventurous soundtracks are raw, sensual experiences crafted with finesse. Whether on record or performed live, their music is expansive and immersive, rich in meaningful melodies that draw from ambient, pop, minimalism, and techno. Since 2015, Stijn Hosman and Hessel Stuut have collaborated with the Dutch label Atomnation and have released three EPs and their acclaimed debut album Igneous. They have also remixed Joep Beving on Deutsche Grammophon and impressed trendsetters like Gilles Peterson with their artful sounds and complex studio wizardry.
Polynation is constantly evolving and has perfected a beautifully enriched sound that has garnered over 20 million streams on Spotify alone. Their dynamic live performances have enriched festivals such as Best Kept Secret, Wildeburg, Secret Garden Festival, ADE, DGTL, and clubs across Europe, offering both soothing respites and wild, energetic rhythms at 2 AM with equal style and finesse.
They utilize a variety of instruments, including drums, analog synthesizers, piano, kalimba, bass, and electric guitar, as well as pedals, tape (delays), and saxophone. These acoustic sources, mixed with electronic signals, lend their material a unique quality inspired by the infinite beauty of nature. Though meticulously crafted, Polynation's music is alive and imperfect, rooted in real emotions but warm with machine soul.
In spring, a very special and highly danceable live show awaits us when Polynation performs on May 21 in the Turmzimmer. Be sure to mark your calendars.
