Coco Coquelicot (NL)

Driving, spirited and fiercely unapologetic: Coco Coquelicot’s distinct blend of club sounds unites warm grooves with heavy rolling bass. A music nerd through and through, Coco digs deep for her gems, no matter the genre. Aiming for more than just a good time, her sets radiate with her passion for the social and the political. By amplifying queer and other marginalized voices, she empowers those seeking refuge in the nightlife. As co-founder of Relate Radio and part of the team behind Butts, the renowned queer club night in Oost, Coco cultivates music from the ground up. Besides being a DJ, Coco is also a Narrative Scholar at the University of Groningen. All her research, whether that is into philosophy, cultural leadership, or storytelling, is about emancipation. She hopes to understand why cultural systems are the way they are, and why we as humans so often fail in understanding one another.
