(UK, 1980), like the philosopher, remains curious about new things. Always pushing boundaries and incorporating fresh music. He approaches each set as a unique road trip with a wide range of styles and countries passing by. His kaleidoscopic sound includes global reggae, trippy cumbia, UK bass, slow rave & African acid. With 20 years of experience under his belt, Socrates has matured like a good wine to celebrate life with. During Writers Unlimited Festival, he will provide a swinging Silent Disco in the foyer of Theater aan het Spui during Friday and Saturday Night Unlimited from 23:15 hours onwards.

There are only a few bands that know how to transmit as much energy as KUENTA (formerly Kuenta i Tambu). With their raw base-oriented afro- caribbean dance music, or their own tambútronic genre, they get everyone on the dance floor. The band combines hip hop and dance music influences with Caribbean Tambú, resulting in a unique mix of hypnotising beats. The Amsterdam-based quintet has throroughly proven itself as the ultimate festival act during the past couple of years, performing at prominent festivals like Glastonbury, SXSW, Eurosonic Noorderslag and Welcome To The Village. They are currently making a success of their first tour on the club circuit. Get ready for an energetic and infectious dance party!
