Plus Instruments
Born in Eindhoven but based in the States, Truus de Groot, has been an unsung hero of experimental and underground music culture for decades. Since 1978, she has been involved in the curation of the Plus Instruments project: a project which has inspired innovation across the world of Electronic music alongside a range of collaborators. At the time, the sheer free will for a group such as Plus Instruments was almost unheard of: their performances were largely improvised and their sound captivating. Her profile is low key and Plus Instruments is ever changing. She explains the rotation and progressive nature of the group. "It always comes from my own initiative; I decide who to play with. I believe that gives it new life each time. I was always more into improvisation with a minimal approach, less structured, more groove." After a successful few years as a band member of cult classic Nasmak and as reigning Queen of the “Ultra” movement, Truus left The Netherlands in 1981 at the young age of 21. She travelled to New York and began to immerse herself in the nightlife and clubs of the city that never sleeps. Within weeks she established a new Plus Instruments line up with David Linton (Rhys Chatham) and Lee Ranaldo (Sonic Youth), this yielded the timeless classic Plus Instruments “Februari-April ’81” which has been reissued numerous times over the years. Through the years Plus Instruments released a number of albums with a host of different collaborators from around the globe. Plus Instruments has been active on the stage and studio throughout these last (almost) 5 decades with no sign of stopping! In 2024 Truus will be joined by multi instrumentalists Kathy Ziegler (US) and Peter Sijbenga van Dockumer Lokaeltsje (NL) for a promising set of old, new and unheard Plus Instruments!

Former & Current Collaborators include: Brecht Camphuijzen (NL), Rik van Iersel (NL), Toon Bressers (NL), Theo Van Rock (NL), David Linton (US), Lee Ranaldo (US), Craig Kafton (US), Jonathan Schneider (US), James Sclavunos (US), Jim Duckworth (US), Annene Kaye (US), Marula Verbeek (NL), Younes Raid (NL), Solex (NL), Jimmy Virani (FR), Paulo Beto (BR), Miguel Barella (BR), Intige Taluure (BEL) – Cosmo Vitelli (FR) and many more!

Dorpstraat 3
On a slow day, some friends were walking past the vacant building at Dorpsstraat 3, where the old home of the village Priest, where they had grown up, was located. After wandering through the dusty house for a while, they ended up in the basement where, unlike the rest of the house, they did not just find what they had expected. The basement was filled with analog synthesizers, rhythm boxes, and a large record collection. Among this record collection, they found artists such as Grauzone, ZZ & de Maskers, Kraftwerk, and Erkin Koray.

Inspired by the record collection and the amount of empty wine bottles in the basement, they wrote a song about the priest in question and named themselves after the building where it all began, Dorpsstraat 3.
The music of Dorpsstraat 3 balances between post-punk and synthwave, drawing inspiration from various types of music that come from very different places geographically and temporally and blending it all together. Sometimes it seems as if these influences were always meant to be together, and sometimes you get confused by them. In this way, Dorpsstraat 3 tells stories that you haven't heard before.

DJ Zamity Mitelembe
Zamity Mitelembe is best known as the figurehead of the postpunk band salutingrome. Mitelembe has entrenched his vision through his evocative lyrics and emotive live performances.
