Vox supreme

As resident of the now-defunct Amsterdam festival Strange Sounds From Beyond, this Dutch-born artist with Algerian and Surinamese roots is never quite satisfied with simply churning out dance floor fillers, preferring to blur the boundaries between genres and toy with the expectations of the audience and his own.

Vox supreme has come a long way in the last years: from DJing and hosting events in The Netherlands and across the borders at clubs such as De School (Amsterdam), Berghain/Säule (Berlin), Garage Noord (Amsterdam), Laak (The Hague), Het Bos (Antwerp), arkaoda (Berlin) and festivals such as Waking Life (Portugal), Horst (Belgium), Draaimolen (Tilburg), Strange Sounds From Beyond (Amsterdam), Atlas Electronic (Marrakesh), to running his label traumgarten – which started as a conceptually brilliant show on Red Light Radio, currently holding residencies on the Amsterdam based radio station Echobox Radio and the established Brussels station Kiosk Radio. Traumgarten grew out to be more than just a radio show, hosting event series at places such as De School and Garage Noord in Amsterdam and Waking Life Festival in Portugal. Due to the forced and abrupt silence on dancefloors worldwide, as well as the urge to continue to share the vision, the next phase of traumgarten was kickstarted and the label was born, starting off with a 30-track benefit compilation, followed by a twelve-inch record of illustrious 90’s Belgian producer Xingu Hill and another benefit compilation after that. The benefit compilations featured artists such as upsammy, Nazanin Noori, Zohar, Bergsonist, Know V.A., Guenter Råler, Roel Funcken and Teqmun, to name a few. 2023 saw the release of the Noyau EP by French duo or+be, consisting of Orchid and Beatrice M. In July 2024 the fifth release on the label by the Spanish artist NAKANO BLU saw the light of day.
