Magnetron Music operates like a close-knit family business, founded by longtime friends Bas Bron and Kostijn Egberts. The label focuses on releasing music from a group of Dutch artists who frequently collaborate. Their sound blends hip-hop, house, techno, and electro-funk, reflecting the shared musical vision of its founders, who were shaped by the music and technology of the 1980s.

Magnetron’s breakthrough came with the Dutch rap group De Jeugd Van Tegenwoordig, whose 2005 hit “Watskeburt?!” catapulted them to fame. Bas Bron, a versatile producer and performer, has been central to many Magnetron projects under various aliases, including Fatima Yamaha, Seymour Bits, and Comtron. His track “What’s a Girl to Do” became a cult hit, gaining wider recognition years after its release.

Magnetron Music continues to support emerging talent, always pushing creative boundaries and looking to the future.
