Polynation

Description

Polynation, a Dutch music duo known for their eclectic mix of Electronica, Ambient, and World Music, has captivated audiences worldwide, whether on festival stages, club dance floors, or through home speakers. Their distinctive organic and cinematic sound arises from live improvisations and forms the basis for both carefully produced studio tracks and fascinating 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 played live, their music is broad and immersive, rich in meaningful melodies drawn from Ambient, Pop, Minimalism, and Techno. Since 2015, Stijn Hosman and Hessel Stuut have collaborated with the Dutch label Atomnation and released three EPs and their celebrated debut album Igneous. They also remixed Joep Beving for Deutsche Grammophon and convinced trendsetters like Gilles Peterson with their artistic sounds and complex studio magic. Polynation is constantly evolving and has perfected a beautifully enriched sound that has achieved 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 calming breaks and wild, energetic rhythms at 2 a.m., all with the same style and sophistication. They use 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, give their material a unique quality inspired by the infinite beauty of nature. Although carefully crafted, Polynation's music is lively and imperfect, rooted in real emotions but warm with machine soul. In spring, we can look forward to a very special and highly danceable live show when Polynation performs on May 21st at the Turmzimmer. Mark it in your calendar.
