Somewhere between minimal synth, electro punk and new wave is the irresistible sound of Raderkraft, a.k.a. Amsterdam-based musician/producer Willem Stinissen (1980).

Raderkraft released his first EP 'Keine Richtung' in 2016 on Testlab, the record label of legendary Dutch DJ/producer and former creative director of Amsterdam’s Club RoXY Eddy de Clercq. It’s followed by April 2019's 'Smart ControL' on the Belgian Die Blinden Records. For Autumn 2019, Raderkraft was selected to be a part of the Dutch Popronde, a traveling festival of 140 acts in 40 cities spread across The Netherlands. His third EP ‘Dust And Debris’ is released by the Dutch new-wave label ‘Wave Tension Records’ on April 2021.

For late 2022 Raderkraft scheduled a new EP and an EP for a new side-project called ‘Furniture’ with Stephan Hofland, the singer and guitari
