Polynation

Polynation, a Dutch music duo renowned for their eclectic blend of electronica, ambient and world music has captivated audiences worldwide, whether on festival stages, club dancefloors, or in the comfort of listeners’ homes. Their signature organic and cinematic sound stems from live improvisation, laying the foundation for both meticulously crafted studio tracks as well as mesmerising live performances. Bonding over melancholic chord progressions, driving rhythms and electro-acoustical textures, the duo’s adventurous soundtracks are raw, sensory experiences crafted with finesse. Whether on record or playing live, their music is widescreen and immersive, rich in meaningful melody that draws from ambient, pop, minimalism and techno. Collaborating with Dutch label Atomnation since 2015, Stijn Hosman and Hessel Stuut have released three EPs and their acclaimed debut album, ‘Igneous’. They have also remixed Joep Beving on Deutsche Grammophon, won over tastemakers like Gilles Peterson and gained over 20 million streams on Spotify alone with their artful sounds and intricate studio wizardry. Their dynamic live performances have graced festivals and clubs across Europe, delivering both soothing escapes as well as wild and energetic 2 am rhythms with equal style and sophistication. Though meticulously crafted, Polynation's music is alive and imperfect, rooted in real-world emotions but warm with machine soul.
