Unlike some other countries (Finland, Sweden, Germany, UK, Japan etc) the Netherlands doesn't seem to have a documented "scene" when it comes to Power Electronics, Noise, Death Industrial and other related genre's, besides Kristus Kut, Stirner, Onkunde & myself (Staalkracht) I can't really think of any other projects.

Does any of you know more projects from the Netherlands?

Odal is from the Netherlands, right?

What about Vene and his other projects?

Also, Kapotte Muziek and DMDN. But maybe you were looking for active projects?

Holland has tons of stuff of noise/noisy stuff and long history too. I think some of the labels mentioned below have done extensive job for noise of all sorts. Maybe that some of it happened long ago - like close to 30 years ago - makes these works distant for younger folks?

KORM PLASTICS label since mid 80's put out tons of stuff of also PE. Also internationaö a'la Death Pact International tape '86, Nails Ov Christ,.. etc

V2-Archief was another good label from mid 80's to forward. Nowadays different people run this and it has transformed into something else. Multimedia info center or whatever? Early days include releases of Merzbow, Eric Lunde, Laibach, Test Dept, Vivenza, Chop-Shop, and countless more.

Staalplaat exists since 2004 in Germany, but started and operated their most famous era in Netherlands. Since 80's put out great stuff. On their own label and also re-issues. NON, Korpses Katatonik, Master/Slave Relationship, Muslimgauze, Autopsia, Blackhouse, Zoviet-France, Etat Donnes, Nocturnal Emissions, Controlled Bleeding, Le Syndicat, John Duncan, etc etc etc..

could mention more labels too, but if talking of artists, lets say worth to check out instantly would be:

DMDN
Kapotte Muziek
THU-20 (especially old)
Beequeen
ODAL
..more.

From newer ones, I guess obviously would be TERG and BITTER, right? Fuckn'Bastrds is sometimes noise.

I'm sure there exists Dutch noise comp. For examples Dutch Fidelity 7" I have still in stock at FA. It's 7" from 2002. Even if it includes also electronic music ("techno") it is most of all abstract noise/electronic with 14 projects doing short assaults.

DMDN and Kapotte Muziek are still active. New DMDN 7" where he remixed KM that just came out in January is very good. I have been told he is also working with his new noise release!

The new industrial label Kurzwellen might be Dutch?  The blog has a .nl contact address, though the Soundcloud unexpectedly claims to be based in Paraguay.  I have no idea where the associated acts Precision Surgery and Necrosis are based, as I'm unable to find any information on either of them.

Thanks for the suggestions, I forgot about Odal and Kapotte Muziek.. It's hard to find any information about Dutch projects and labels. There were some one off live projects before but most of those dissapeared. I'll check out the labels and projects which you guys suggested.

also worth to mention is the radio station Patapoe, where Odal and God's Wil have their weekly radio shows
In Tilburg there used to be a sort of small 'scene' too a few years back
Does anyone know if the label Kwark still exists? They had good shows in Eindhoven

Staalkracht

Thanks Bart, I'll try to get a copy of both of the compilations.. The "south" of the Netherlands seems to be where most Dutch noise artists hang around.

Thanks again for all the suggestions.

I'm very fond of the early 80's one-man project Het Zweet, who were kind of the missing link between :zoviet*france: and Z'ev. Several tapes are available for download over at Simon Crab's blog, http://crab.wordpress.com/category/het-zweet/

Beequeen is another huge favorite. Search the forum for a thread dedicated to Frans & Freek.

I used to listen to quite a lot of Dutch postpunk back in the day, groups such as Minny Pops, The Ex, Kiem, and Nasmak. Some of it was pretty experimental, but probably too lame for diehard noiseheads.

I guess you mean current scene because this seems so weird to me. I went on pilgrimes to the Staalplaat store in Amsterdam in the way back land. Seeing the Women of the SS box in the window you know you where in the right place (it was only their for a couple of days before they got the window smashed) and going down the stairs into the basement of the leftist bookstore you could feel a shift in the air. The cassettes where all over the metal walls attached with magnets and spotting more s/m imagery than my teenage mind could handle. It was heaven.

I have some old recordings with Zombie under Stress that was pretty good (before they turned EBM) but my favourite Dutch recordings are two compilations Καθαροσ and Exhaustion released by the Katharos Foundation http://www.discogs.com/label/Katharos+Foundation .
