CUT_

CUT_ started their musical journey as a duo back in 2014, Improvising and creating music on the spot for a live audience as an electronic improvisation act. The musical spark was strong and the performance moved into a tiny studio were their first success would see the light within the year. Since 2014 Sebastiaan Dutilh and Belle Doron have been experimenting with production and songwriting. Pushing boundaries of pop and electronic music, combining the two in what proved to be a golden marriage. With a string of successful releases, millions of streams, and many international shows they decided to expand the band, welcoming Jelle Huiberts on drums and Korné ter Steege on bass. The live performances of CUT_ are as essential as their online presence, leaving audiences breathless with their dynamic light show and and a band as strong as a tsunami.

After releasing their debut album in 2019, the second single “Out of touch” ended up Netflix show Elite. It was featured during a steamy and quite crucial scene between two main characters Ander & Omar. After airing “Out of Touch” quickly rose to the #1 position on the Global Shazam Chart and stayed there for weeks. Next to the success on this Shazam chart the song got into over 10 countries’ viral playlists on Spotify making it a viral hit (in the Spanish world especially). It’s now good for over 50 million streams on all platforms.

Past years CUT_ has been touring Europe with a very special immersive liveshow that is focussed on inclusion of people with a disability. Trough not only sound and lights but also touch, smell and taste they bring an immersive experience to their music. Not only with the focus of inclusivity but also with the goal of fully immersing the audience in their world.
The concept of the show circles around a ritual bringing the audience in a different state of togetherness. Creating a safe space and a level playing field for everybody present at the show and embracing our differences. The goal is to invite people to play, move around and connect with strangers the’d otherwise never met.

Now entering a new creative chapter, CUT_ has crafted music that feels more playful and upbeat than their previous work—without losing its emotional depth. The songs embrace the humor hidden within life’s darker corners, all written from a distinctly feminine perspective. Belle: “As a woman you deal with abuse and suppression regularly in your life but womanhood also comes with sisterhood, desire and ever-changing power dynamics”. Together, these themes shape an collection of songs that are as empowering as they are vulnerable, offering a raw yet uplifting perspective on modern womanhood.
