Friday, 11 December

State OFFF (NL/ZW) at the Laine club night.

State OFFF, born in Zimbabwe and based in Amsterdam, has been igniting dancefloors around the world with bold productions and high-energy sets, and earned a place on Mixmag’s “Top 25 Artists to Watch in 2025”.

His journey began with GQOM TODAY (2022), a debut EP that showed his forward-thinking approach to gqom. In 2024 State OFFF cemented his reputation with Simulacra and The Offering, two standout releases blending gqom, baile funk and other global sounds, alongside EDITSSS, his viral remix series that reworks pop, R&B and hip-hop for the club. These projects have racked up millions of views and critical acclaim, placing him among the most innovative producers of the moment.

As a DJ, State OFFF’s command of the dancefloor is unrivalled. From residencies at Amsterdam’s Parallel to landmark venues such as Berlin’s Tresor, London’s Ormside Projects and Brussels’ C12, his performances are immersive and electrifying. In 2024 he joined Jyoty’s We’ve Been Here Before tour, delivering an unforgettable set at Edinburgh’s Liquid Room. His festival appearances at Lente Kabinet, Listen Festival, Nyege Nyege and three consecutive years at Amsterdam Dance Event (ADE) further confirm his reputation as a must-see act.

With continued support from platforms such as BBC 1Xtra, Rinse FM, NTS and Kiosk Radio, State OFFF has become a movement in his own right. As 2025 unfolds, expect his unstoppable rise to continue, sending shockwaves through the global scene and confirming his status as a true pioneer.
