3 tips:

1) Frank Fairfield is not a regular songwriter. His voice is amazing and he plays folk & hillbilly music on the banjo, fiddle and guitar. He dresses like it’s the early 1900’s and his style of banjo picking is pretty unusual these days. It was popular long time ago and there are not so many young musicians who can play like that anymore.

2) Daniel Haaksman: German DJ, producer and labelowner of MAN Recordings. With MAN Recordings Haaksman established collaborations between Europe and Brasil with acts like Feadz, Edu K and Crookers. Not only the man behind the scene but als in the spotlights: he plays a great mix of baile funk, electro, kuduro, dancehall, funk, house.

3) Warbringer up and coming thrash metal band from California. These youngsters are not trying to capture the ‘old’ thrash sound but the add their own elements. They we’re opening Fortarock the Festival in Nijmegen last year: one of my favorites.
