Muziekstad (2021 - 2021)

In the second episode, EVA Koreman attracts to Nijmegen. In the oldest city in the Netherlands, three artists from Pop Temple Doornroosje map their local scene. Waltzburg plays fresh pop songs, indie artist Leeuwten makes dreamy, subdued Indiefolkpop and 3FM talent Linde Schöne is working well on the road with her R & B / pop songs.

Eva Koreman is this episode in The Hague, where artists are artistic with a thick wink. She rolls along at the Club Pip for a meeting with construction worker boyband Goldband who has no less than five pop prices in The Hague in the cupboard. Contemporary smartlapse singer Sophie street brings life songs with a message. Emerging DJ / producer Dazion tells about his love for the court city.

This program Eva Koreman focuses on SMIB. This leading, alternative hip-hop collective from Amsterdam South-East releases a lot of music, but also works on art, fashion, literature and video clips, and knows how to inspire youth in all kinds of ways. Kees Koenders aka KC is one of the core members of the collective. He is a producer and rapper who has been involved from the beginning. Eva visits him in his mother's garden shed, where it all started. They also visit the creative breeding ground De Kazerne where SMIB now has its base. She meets Ray Fuego, who is seen as the frontman of SMIB and in 2018 won the 3voor12 Award for best album with Zwart. Eva also speaks with rapper Yung Nnelg, who is not officially part of SMIB, but works a lot with the members.

The region around Eindhoven is considered the most innovative place in the world in terms of technology and design. But in this episode of Muziekstad in Eindhoven, three bands from this region play who, with their sound, hark back to the sixties and seventies. Eva Koreman meets yéyé beat singer Fleur and the psychedelic rock 'n roll trio MOOON. You will also see a portrait of Sem Jansen and master guitarist Leif de Leeuw, who have been playing together for ten years. Five years ago Sem came out as transgender, and in the years that followed he went into transition. That was very exciting: because of the hormones your voice changes, and can you still sing?

With an extensive network of rock 'n roll-bars, countless deafening bands and hard music festivals, Tilburg is the Heavy Metal capital of the Netherlands, Europe and perhaps even worldwide. Eva Koreman speaks Michel Nienhuis, the band leader of the brand new Tilburg band Autarkh. Nienhuis is not new in the metal scene; With his previous band Dodecahedron he flew over the world. In addition to Carmen and Sarban, from metal band white wievs, EVA meets the members of Temple Fang. This band comes from Amsterdam, but had not been there without Tilburg. The leading Festival Roadburn laid the blueprint for their sound.

In this one-last-last episode of Muziekstad, Eva Koreman is in Zwolle, the hip hop capital of the Netherlands. We look at how it stands with Zwolle, twenty years after Rapgroep Gezwolle caused an earthquake with their debut album spezings on the mic. Rico shows how he helps to develop the younger generation their RAP talents and gives a taste of his upcoming album live in Hedon with the promising producer Guan.

In this last episode of Muziekstad, Eva Koreman is in Utrecht. Pop stage EKKO features the psychedelic southern rock band DeWolff, 45Acidbabies with grungy glitter pop and master pianist Pieter de Graaf, once one of the first musicians of The Kyteman Orchestra. DeWolff recently released their ninth album, Wolffpack, on which they address heavily loaded themes. Muziekstad visits the trio in their electrosaurus southern sound studio, in a wharf cellar in Utrecht. Pieter de Graaf he once started his career as a keyboardist with, among others, The Kyteman Orchestra, Wouter Hamel and with his own jazz trio. He got RSI and had to start all over again: that became a solo project with prepared piano in which he makes neo-classical music with subtle electronics. Pieter visits the new breeding ground of Colin Benders (Kyteman). 45Acidbabies was born at the Herman Brood Academy in Utrecht. They make hyperactive rock 'n roll songs, or "Bubblegum garage pop" as they call it.
