Artificial Intelligence is the buzz right now - it is happening, and it will have a big impact on our future.

The Funky Cat #6 will bring a taste of Japan… cute but creepy!
POSTED 24th August 2017
The Funky Cat will be back on Friday the 6th of October. This time with a Japanese touch... cute but creepy!
Geck-o -- One year after the release of his Alien Sound System album, there's lots of new music to present. Leading the way for The Funky Cat, he keeps looking for new musical realms to explore, introducing and surprising his audience. Surrender to the waves, and you'll find yourself dancing to a deep psychedelic journey.
Chris One (SE ~ cross-genre set) -- From Sweden, we have Chris One bringing an intense blend of many styles. Expect him to go through a tasteful selection of darkpsy, hardtechno, industrial, hardstyle and many other genres like they were always meant to be combined. Having a long history with Geck-o, dating back to the earliest Theracords days, we are happy to introduce him to our Funky Cat!
bitface -- Not only the key figure in organising the event, but also a brilliant selector of the best underground dance music. With his next-level transitions, he always manages to add new dimensions to the tracks he's mixing. Expect him to bring a broad selection of music you've probably never heard before.
Pietro (vinyl set) -- As a true crate digger, Pieter Vis will open the night with a special vinyl set. We know him for selecting the greatest gems, pure and with soul.
Sloperij Janssen (Japan special) -- If we can trust someone to shake things up a bit... ;) Prepare for an insane intermezzo with the cutest, creepiest and outright fucked up shit from Japan. Smashed up, thrown in a blender and pushed over the top before it reaches your ears. Can you dance, or does it leave you nailed to the ground in awe?
Photronics -- Our favorite Niels Verkaik will bring his guitars and hardware effects to do a wonderful ambient live performance in the chillout area.

Expect him to take you on a deep journey through confetti-space and party-time ;) Next to his solo adventure, he has invited some really special suprise guests to join him...
ACTI (IT) - We all know him for his Subground sound, and his performances at the legendary QULT parties.

Geck-o (NL) -- As the host of the night, Geck-o always makes sure to surprise you, overwhelm you, and take you on an adventurous trip. With his album "Alien Sound System" released recently, he is keen to showcase his latest magical productions, while mashing up all possible moods and styles.
Raito (FR, Boysnoize Records) -- We're proud to bring this French master to The Funky Cat! He has just signed on the legendary Boysnoize Records with his EP "Moon Dance", and that's just the first of many to come. One of the most exciting artists of the moment, fusing new and oldschool rave vibes into his powerful sound. Big chance you have already heard his tracks on our radio show, or played by Justice, Porter Robinson, Boys Noize or RL Grime... and the list goes on! A perfect fit for our party ^^
Wavolizer (DK, The Third Movement) -- After his fantastic set at our first edition, we're happy to welcome him back! Hailing from Denmark, infamously known as "Wafelijzer" in the Netherlands, and signed to The Third Movement. Expect him to switch through many genres, tempos and moods while he closes down our magical party in a way he wouldn't do anywhere else :)
Bold Action vs bitface (NL) -- Check the epic trailer...
The Undoing (NL) -- To open The Funky Cat in the best way, we have invited Guido de Beer to bring back his old alias. As a long time friend of Geck-o, they have even collaborated on a track long ago... but that's not what you're going to hear in his set ;) expect the finest techno, electro and some bassy surprises.
