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.
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.
Highly recommended. Starting out with Daan Hendriks’ trademark moody beats, it quickly develops to his own special blend of electronic afrobeat and thunders forward like an unstoppable train. A highly uplifting live set, just hit play and let it roll!
Daan Hendriks is one of those artists that creates leftfield music without alienating his audience: his trademark is catchy, almost easy-listening music, but highly detailed and engaging. Musically, think steady hiphop/breakbeats with irresistible groove, topped up with beautiful, lyrical reed and brass melodies. He used to release under the moniker BASIC, also available on our site.
