Faustin (NL)

Faustin is an Dutch/Antillean artist and researcher who uses sound to navigate the complexities of identity and emotion. His DJ sets blend percussive sounds with a futuristic essence that simultaneously invite introspection, escape, and connection. Faustin effortlessly morphs through genres, sculpting transcendent moments on the dance floor, each infused with a narrative that feels both bound and uniquely crafted for that instant in time. He has been a favourite fixture on the Netherlands' most renowned dance floors, including SPIELRAUM, POING CLUB, De School, Garage Noord, and CLUB RAUM, where he currently holds a residency.

Deeply inspired by his heritage and the vibrant queer community to which he belongs, Faustin's exploration of mixed cultural identities spans diverse mediums beyond the DJ booth. From curating multidisciplinary club nights at POING CLUB during his residency there to exploring sound through visuals with his A/V performances, Faustin demonstrates an unmatched ability for captivating storytelling. His most recent A/V shows include collaboration with Sondi, showcased at Kunsthal and WORM Rotterdam. He further delves into collectively redefining, exploring, and remixing cultural heritage through his resident show cccriojo* at Operator Radio.
