Hi there,

If you're reading this it means you must have come here through a bookmark or through an external link.

This part of the website is from now on (May 2009) officially 'closed', which means as much as it will not be updated anymore. We keep it online for a little longer though, because of all the sites linking to these pages.

Humanworkshop has gone through a major overhaul, and you can enjoy all great new stuff by simply going here: www.humanworkshop.com

 
     
 
 
     

  music Leisure-B's Big Bear Critter
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Firnwald is an electronic / IDM artist located in Bayern, Germany. He specialises in a form of IDM maybe best described as "Hectic Folklore Breaks", a combination of modern breaks and ancient instruments. His tracks are usually very cinematic and tell tales of the world like it once was, or at least, how fantasy writers depict it in novels.

After working with Firnwald on the forthcoming Dinky Toy Remix net release, he asked us to contribute to his Obscure Mountain Lore remix project. Leisure grabbed the opportunity by the balls and came up with the Big Bear Critter, a somewhat more conventional version of the very ambient original.

More information on both remix projects coming soon!

  Humanworkshop Live! Daan Hendriks live in Vilnius, March 27th
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It has been a quite long time since Daan Hendriks (formerly known as BASIC) played a live set, but on March 27th 09 he will be back from the land of the silent at the Satta Bar/Club in Vilnius, Lithuania. He was invited by Lithuanian DJ/Promoter collective DoomooStudio after hearing his 2006 live recording at Jetto Festival.

As it's been so long, expect a lot of new tunes and breaks in Daan's set, as well as spiced up versions of older material. For his millions of fans living outside of Lithuania not being able to make it to this gig, he will try to make a recording on stage.

In the meantime, here are two teaser MP3s of as yet unfinished new material that is expected to be in his set. Keep an eye on this space as more teaser material might be posted later on. Also, check out the video below of our new friends DoomooStudio pumping beats at a party in another Lithuanian venue.

  Humanworkshop news BASIC -> R.I.P
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Because our good fellow BASIC's music is always being linked to artists that operate in the realm of techno or deephouse or whatever it is called, the old boy decided it was time to change his name.

From now on you won't hear from BASIC anymore as he's dropped his moniker to continue by the smashing new alter ego of Daan Hendriks, which is in fact the name his parents gave him anyway, 27 years ago.

To honour this world shattering moment, we hereby release four tracks that were produced for Humanworkshop albums but never made it to finalised versions. Fair enough, two of these tracks were in fact compiled into a single tune which became the title track for his financially hugely successful album 'Do you know the word'. Nevertheless, even these two will prove a compelling listening experience to the millions of die hard BASIC fans whose craving for new (or old) material is comparable to a famine of the most devastating sort.

Sorry fans, all three of you, BASIC is dead. Long live Daan Hendriks!
Oh, and we have released a 'new' album by mr Hendriks on Last.fm, which is in fact an old but very smooth live set, chopped up and renamed. Now, start scrobbling!
