In December I went for a short visit in NL my first one actually. Before my stay it had struck me that the Netherlands (and Belgium also for that matter) are real musicfolk. I know lately I’ve mostly hear/read about how they are one their way about to cure overpopulation, ca 15 million living on one square meter, with engineering an new island à la Dubai …tulipshaped. Also that the last years there has been some political murders.

When me and my dj first set foot in the country the kind meet’n'great-person said: -Don’t belive the rumour about NL. My mind quietly went: What rumour, what rumour???” and then it turned out that he was talking about the classical Redlight-district and coffeeshop rumour.

Amsterdam is the home of Rush hour and Kindred Spirit both these labels carry nobel Soul/jazz/dance/broken releases from acts as: Rednose Distrikt, Comtron, Carl Craig, Heavy, Jneiro Jarel, Sun ra, Rich Medina and many more

Anyone that has been following my blogging knows that my heart is a sucker coming to the beats, I will never ever be able to produce a wickiedy-wicked beat in all my life. Therefore NL is my dreamland! The home of instrumental music! I.N.T, Aardvarck, Louis Bordeaux, the Beat Dimensions guys, O.boogie & U-gene, Cinnaman. These are some but not nearly all of them.

So why am I NL:ing here on this blog right now?
The artist Ntjamrosie new album Atouba. I do think this soul/worldmusic singer is worth a spinn in your stereo. Check out the prelisten on the Appletree records site.

keep an eye/ear out for:
Yuro & Trago (soulfell techno)

La Melodia (Female Mc that vocaled the Rednose Distrikt song “Best Dj”)

Over and out //K
