In recent years, dance music has almost been driven along solely by a regiment of top Dutch DJs, who even invented a highly influential genre of EDM, Dutch house.

But music from Holland is about more than house and trance, having many eclectic influences from surrounding countries and its history in trading with the World, shaping a wide range of hard rock, alternative rock, Nederpop, Nederhop, Europop, deep house, and disco tunes.

So, to celebrate the Koningsdag – Kings Day – holiday and wish all my Dutch friends and followers a great day – while avoiding the host of great Dutch EDM DJs (a blogcast for another day perhaps) – Hong Kong Beat presents a set of music from Dutch artists from over the past 50 years.

Proost!
