Michel de Hey

The Dutch underground scene is back on it’s way up and we love to help a hand! That’s why in this brand-new year Kweekvijver (translation: hotbed / breeding ground, literally translated: fish pond) will travel through the Netherlands looking for hungry little fish that want to participate in bringing themselves to the next level!

Kweekvijver, the night where young talents take a dive into the deep next to no other then the Dutch legend DJ and initiator MICHEL DE HEY! Kweekvijver will be the place where you will be pleasantly surprised by heroes from the future, all supported by the big boss himself and in one of your favorite clubs!

It’s going to be the night you’ll still be talking about in a couple of years, allowing you to say, you were at the debut of … It’ll be a memorable night you are not allowed to miss!

“I think the name says it all. The place where gifted musicians or DJ’s get the chance to take a dive into the deep with me. Are you a talented DJ or live act? Do you feel called upon to show your qualities? All fish are welcome in my pond!”

The Dutch underground scene is back on it’s way up and I love to help a hand! That’s why I founded Kweekvijver (translation: hotbed / breeding ground, literally translated: fish pond)! I travel through the Netherlands looking for hungry little fish that want to participate in bringing themselves to the next level! I don’t care about your follower count, your name or your looks. I will check your mixing skills and music selection and will pick the best talents.
