A place where the love for UK Garage, House, and hip-hop comes together in the night. Alter Ego is the party for a new generation of ravers and creators looking to escape reality and dance it all away.

Local hero Wantigga invites the best selectors for every edition. For this first installment, he has none other than Passion Deez as the headliner.

‍

Passion Deez

From sets at Boiler Room to Keep Hush, and from shows at Lowlands to Wildeburg: Passion Deez brings a high-energy mix of garage, jungle, grime, and percussive riddims. Raised in London, these influences are clearly audible in his sets. Expect a finale where standing still is not an option — DEEZ will close out the night in style.

Abiba

The second name on the lineup is Abiba. Drawing from her broad musical upbringing, she aims to break down the lack of diversity on the dance floor. In 2025, she performed at venues like Garage Noord and Lofi, surprising the crowd with a sharp track selection full of syncopation, deep basslines, and polyrhythms. In her radio shows on Radioradio and Operator, she also explores the boundaries between hip-hop and electronic music. We are looking forward to her selection during the first set of the night.

Wantigga

Alongside these two guests, Alter Ego founder Wantigga will of course be behind the decks himself. You may know this Deventer-based DJ/producer from his releases on Spotify and Bandcamp, and his tours across Europe and Asia over the past decade. Groove and musicality are the hallmarks of his eclectic sound, which has made him a staple both in the Netherlands and far beyond. He began his career in Deventer as part of the hip-hop collective FATA and organized Borrelnoot with his partner Vieze Vedi. Wantigga returns to the Burgerweeshuis with a danceable mix of cutting percussion, deep wobbles, and always featuring his own productions.
