12 Tribes of Mars
Is planet Earth weighing you down? 12 Tribes are ready to take you away. Mars is the destination and their music is the spaceship. Drop your past to join them in a future where humans from all walks of life build new traditions, and music is the
language we all speak.
12 Tribes of Mars takes the basic elements of the Reggae, Ska, and Dub traditions and blasts them into outer space. A closer listen reveals that what might seem familiar at first has a truly unique and eclectic sound. Heavily influenced by the spirit of free improv, the music is as sexy and danceable as it is uncompromisingly gritty. On stage 12 Tribes really cast their spell: time and time again trance inducing acoustic grooves are torn apart by wild improvisations and electronics, before the musicians return to the rhythm as if nothing had ever happened. Concerts are both an intense, trippy listening experience as well as a high energy dance party, ultimately leaving the audience sweaty and wanting for more.
Paroah
Paroah is the moniker of Amsterdam based, Belgian born, sound and visual enthusiast Vicky de Visser.
When selecting tunes, she is known for heating up the dance floor with curveball after curveball, like a top level game of defensive, high rpm table tennis. That is, if the ball was your brain, and the expertly controlled, spin-imparting bats were unrelentingly fresh waves of acid, footwork, gabber, and other friendly yoga terrorism genres.
