Straf, a word that echoes consequence. For many of us, this isn't just a word.
It's a lived experience, a state of being. Art bonds where society breaks.
Straf Collective is a living, breathing community of young creatives, united not by sameness, but by a shared urgency to express, to connect and to leave a mark.

Exploring diverse soundscapes together, they aim to shape a sonic landscape in their sets. As more and more ideas were shared, gathered and considered, their vision towards an own contribution was shaped into this department at Straf.
