NIGHT PROTOCOL

Night Protocol was created to unite the sounds of the past, present, and future with a cutting-edge style of electronic music. Formed in 2017 by Burlington, VT-based musicians and producers, Night Protocol has been active across New England in the live electronic and synthwave scene.

Night Protocol shows are driven by live analog synthesizers, pulsing basslines, ripping guitar solos, soaring saxophone leads, and harmonized vocals. Their live show takes a theatrical approach to music performance with coordinated visuals, lighting effects, and a contagious sense of passion and energy for the foundations of electronic music.

DUTCH EXPERTS

Dutch Experts was born out of the Covid Pandemic amidst the crumbling of societal infrastructure. This destruction mirrored singer/songwriter Hannah Hoffman’s own experiences during lockdown. Turning one of her lowest and most challenging points into a revisitation of her approach to sound, Hoffman began experimenting with layering synths and electronic drum beats in Garageband, creating a sonic landscape that bore the fruits of Dutch Experts and the creation of a debut EP, ‘Bound by This’. Inspired by her personal challenges, the gothic landscape of The Cure, and melodic choices informed by Kate Bush and Cocteau Twins, Hoffman locked into a sound that became uniquely modern yet captured an 80s sonic sensibility: synth pop with a darkwave edge. Dutch Expert’s debut EP ‘Bound by This’ is out now, and the band is currently in the process of writing a full-length album. Dutch Experts draws inspiration from excavating through darkness to find the light.
