16BL

Amsterdam-based production and DJ duo 16BL has been a significant force in underground dance music since their formation in 2004. Driven by a deep passion for electronic sounds, their journey has been marked by continuous growth and artistic exploration.

A key early moment came in 2004 when they gained recognition from Deep Dish, leading to a series of influential releases on their Shinichi label. This early success propelled their creative and innovative path.

More recently, Ariaan and Peter, the duo behind 16BL, have been instrumental in shaping the sound of Anjuna Deep. Their prolific output includes the enduring underground hit "Deep in My Soul" (2014), which continues to resonate with listeners.

Beyond 16BL, Ariaan and Peter are also vital members of Cubicolor, a collaboration with English singer-songwriter Tim Digby Bell. Their talents extend to music production and mixing for bands, film and game soundtracks, and artist development.

In 2024, 16BL is poised to release new music, bringing their signature warm, intelligent, and sensual underground sound to leading venues globally. Anticipate another compelling phase in their musical evolution.
