Globally, the Netherlands is probably most known for providing top dance DJs to the music scene. The influence of the Dutch on dance music is profound. Armin van Buuren, Afrojack, Hardwell, Martin Garrix are well known names, but there’s more to the Dutch music scene than you would imagine.
Besides a major dance scene, the Netherlands also introduced the world to retro pop with the likes of Caro Emerald, the first Dutch indie artist to achieve international success. And, believe it or not, the Dutch also know how to rock.
In fact, rock music has always been one of the most commercially successful genres the Dutch have known. There’s always a band of the moment and this time, there’s no doubt, it’s Kensington.
