Last Friday was a good day. Because on that day I got to hang and bounce and drink with Rotterdams finest: Doktor Schnitt.
The band consists of three (when playing wrinkeled, but usually quite goodlooking) guys that are called Nique Quentin, Philipp Ernsting and Bruno Ferro Xavier da Silva. And last friday, they brought live Drum 'n Bass to the house in Het Poortgebouw in Rotterdam, and they brought it hard!
The cool thing is, these boys used to practise in the basement of the (gigantic) old school @ Willem Buytewechstraat where Dutch Dolls had their headquarters. You would always know when they were there, cause they produced so much bass that I could hear it on the fourth floor. My coffeemug would be dancing on my table. I loved their sound then, and I loved their sound even more last Friday. There were more pads, more gadgets, much more freaky and psychedelic elements and it was just so tiiiight!!
Bruno is the one that makes your guts feel that bass and knows which pad to hit when. Nique is the one with the complicated drumkit and the jembe's bringing the brazilian-element and Philipp hit the bass and the snare so tight, fast and hard, I could not believe it. If you have a problem picturing live drum 'n bass with a psychedelic sauce, just imagine a fine blend of Tortoise, The Fucking Champs and something awesome that doesn't exist yet.
Listen to Paprika by Doktor Schnitt above. And if you like them, go check them out on July 16th @ Exit!
