The Netherlands are famous for their music scene, especially when it comes to techno
....not everyone's cup of tea, I know.
Before I came here I was listening to everything except techno so it was time for me to give it a try....and what shall I say about it? This music is like a piece of art, when you give it a chance and listen well!

Last friday I could enjoy some of Maastricht's greatest newcomers when it comes to techno.
In a one time collaboration with Summerbreak FSTVL, Kaap's Underground, a project focusing on connecting communities and bringing better sounds to the people, Leenaers & Brug, two amazing new talents were rocking the house. I was already lucky to listen to these guys before and they really take you on a journey. Influenced by a mixed musical background, reaching from Hip-Hop to Hard Rock, these two guys know how to take you by the hand and and run off with you into the amazing world of electronic sounds.
That's for me again a proof that also techno music has soul, when it is coming from the heart .
I always feel a bit like Alice in Wonderland walking through a colorful world of sounds and being amazed what this music is actually capable of and able to communicate.

Before they started with their set I had the chance for a short chat with them and one of the guys described their music as "being friends with the beat" and compared it with the feeling of meeting a good friend totally unexpected on a party - its pure joy!
Right now both of them are playing just for fun, next to their studies, but especially for giving something back to their friends. In my opinion exactly for the right reason. You can hear it in their music!
While the guys were doing their "job" I could sneak a few pics...

Kaap's Underground is a project within SV Circumflex, a Dutch student society, and a testimony to the inner diversity of its members. This time it was was organized by Sjors van Deijk and Alexander Lurvink, who's a brilliant DJ himself. Meant as a platform to discover secret talents and give young people a chance to come together and enjoy the power of music in its most absolute form. By connecting people from various other music projects, Kaap's Underground is full of creativity and talent and absolutely worth to keep an eye on in the future!
For me it was a great evening, proving again that my beloved Netherlands are full of hidden adventures and amazing people!
If you wanna enjoy a set from Leenaers & Brug, you can find them here and here.
So pack your bags and let them take you on a journey into the amazing world of techno.
