Wat Voel Je Nou

Geen Genade

B1 - De Ambassade - Geen Genade

"Formed in 2008 as an improvisation collective, at the crossroads between experimental and free jazz, @Dr-Dr-one in 2015 released Lyrebird, a genre-defying mix of jazz, avant-garde and drone music.
True to their reputation as sonic explorers (excavators), Dr(Dr)one today stand more or less as masters of the art of “covering their own tracks”, with a new EP, released on October 28th, 2016."

Album available : johnkoolrecords.bandcamp.com/album/dance-w-you-ep

All tracks composed and interpreted by Dr(Dr)one.
Mixed by Angy Laperdrix, except "Dance W/ You" mixed by Frédéric Soulard.

"Verloren" is like a late night pink Dutch sky after a long day of heavy rain, a sign that a warm summer’s day is just ahead. It will make you sweat tonight. This long awaited follow up 7' from Dollkraut moniker "De Ambassade" after succesfull "Wat Voel Je Nou" will be released in the same form as the first : a beautifully designed disco sleeve with cardboard artwork. The vinyl will feature perfect-not-perfect, melancholic yet very danceable tracks. The machines in here take you back to the 80’s, but sound very contemporary nevertheless.
