Super-Sonic Jazz presents: Super-Sonic Showcase Fest
Together with OSHI and Steppin’ Into Tomorrow, Super-Sonic Jazz is introducing a brand new two-day festival at Paradiso: Super-Sonic Showcase Fest. In addition to the annual Super-Sonic Jazz Festival in November, this new initiative offers a stage to emerging talent that pushes the boundaries of jazz, soul, funk, and hip-hop—with a strong focus on the local scene.
Super-Sonic Showcase Fest brings together creators and music lovers, with a line-up that embodies the future of jazz. Expect innovative sounds, artistic cross-pollination, and an energetic atmosphere where talent and creativity take center stage. It’s a festival for curious listeners who want to explore what’s alive, growing, and blooming in the Dutch music scene.
Super-Sonic Showcase Fest is not just a platform for musical talent, but also a meeting place for artists, listeners, and lovers of music. A space where musicians can connect, spark new collaborations, and exchange ideas. Here, the local scene is not only celebrated but also strengthened—a space where the future of the scene becomes tangible.

Brintex collective
Brintex Collective is a collaboration between innovative musicians from Rotterdam, led by keyboardist Brenn Luiten. The six-piece band brings Brenn’s compositions to life in a vibrant mix of jazz, hip-hop, and electronic influences. Citing inspiration from artists like Alfa Mist, Joe Armon-Jones, and Robert Glasper, Brintex Collective is coming this summer with a brand new live set full of tracks from their upcoming album Make It Make Sense, set to be released on September 19.
Siegfried Hart
Siegfried Hart is an energetic drummer and composer from Aruba, blending the vibrant rhythms of the Antilles with jazz and hip-hop. His debut album Awa (Papiamento for “water”) is set to be released soon—a musical journey full of emotion, healing, and self-reflection. From deep grooves to experimental tracks featuring guest vocalists, Awa showcases Siegfried’s effortless fusion of tradition and innovation.
ii
The music of Amsterdam-based collective ii is a blend of hip-hop, funk, and electronic influences—a sound they describe as modern soul. Intimate, yet grand. On stage, ii draws you into their enchanting world with one goal: to reflect the full spectrum of the human experience. They’re currently hard at work on their debut album, but on July 2nd, they’ll give us a first taste.
Halfpastseven ft. Tallulah Rose
Halfpastseven made a strong impression with his debut Music To Walk Home To, both on vinyl and on stage—with hypnotic live sets full of tension, build-ups, and unexpected twists. His new album The Calm and The Storm will be released on May 16 and builds on that foundation: an immersive journey through electronic music, where hip-hop, house, and experimental sounds merge into one seamless flow. With rhythms that get under your skin, groovy basslines, and warm harmonies, it speaks to both dancers and dreamers alike.
At Super-Sonic Showcase Fest, he’ll bring this to the stage—joined by Tallulah Rose for a guest appearance.
