ACOUSTICK is a powerfull symbiosis between the driving sounds of the didgeridoo, the exhilarating power of the drums, and lyrical EDM top lines. Modern dance vibes carried by an ancient engine – 100% live.

This groove machine, consisting of MT-Yidaki on yiḏaki/didgeridoo, Pascal Schouten on drums, and Jan Terlouw Jr. as live producer with synths and soundscapes creates a compelling musical journey in which earth, breath, trance, and rhythm take centre stage.

 

Born in 2020, in the midst of lockdown, at Tijdloos (ID&T): four weeks as a resident, 10 shows, full throttle. In 2021, an FPK grant followed, and the ‘Colored Monkey HQ’ (Epse) was transformed into a pop-up club to play a 3-hour live show together with guest musicians. A number of tracks can be found on Spotify.

Acoustick started as a duo with Pascal and Michiel, sometimes driven by guest musicians. The audience didn't just stand and watch: they came forward and tore up the dance floor as if it had been summer for weeks.
Time and again, they managed to kick off the rave. With stages like Mañana Mañana, Landjuweel, Kattegat Festival, Booster, Elfia, Buitenlanding, and Green Vibrations as highlights.
 

With the addition of Jan Terlouw Jr. in 2026, Acoustick 3.0 is festival- and club-ready: more EDM, more punch, more drive—but retaining the organic edge. As a trio, with Jan Terlouw Jr. as live producer (electronics, synths & samples), Acoustick builds a set that pushes straight up towards peak time: hypnotic where possible, brutally hard where necessary. A compelling musical journey in which earth, breath, and rhythm take center stage. New material and a sharpened live show for clubs, festival stages, and late-night areas.

Since Michiel was adopted into an Aboriginal clan in 2003, respect for tradition and the connecting power of music have formed the core of ACOUSTICK. This mission is palpable in every live show.
