THE STRANGEST FREAKS – THRILLS GALORE (2016)

Since 10 years Binkbeats (Frank Wienk) and me have been making beats together as The Strangest Freaks. Up till now we only officially released Dit Nooit Meer, a song which we made together with Typhoon (vocals) for the Knalland project Volhard in 2014.

Over these 10 years we have been gradually working on our first full album Thrills Galore, which consists of vocal tracks as well as instrumentals.

Guest MC’s on Thrills Galore are Dudley Perkins, Buggs Tha Rocka, Bless X Shahmen, Jay Colin, Reazun, Joe Kickass, Bfake, Moxy Lebowski, Unknown Eye & Sheikh Tijan.

The artwork for this project was made by Marleen Wienk, the final mix was done by Robin Rump and the mastering was done by Statinski Mastering.

Thrills Galore was released in September 2016.

PRY – FUTURE, PAST, PRESENT, INFINITY (2016)

Since 2006 I’ve been making beats and producing as PRY. After 2 albums with Pax & Pry and some songs for other projects it was time for the first solo album as a producer: Future, Past, Present, Infinity.

This album was recorded over a longer period in lots of different studio’s. Some rappers recorded together with me in the studio (Atactic, Reazun, Incksalonius, Jay Colin and PAX), some recorded in their own studio’s in the USA (Everliven Sound, Buggs Tha Rocka, Donte, Moxy Lebowski, CP, Dicap and Asylum 7). There was never a solid idea to make a full album, but after a while everything fell together and it all seemed very natural to see it as a whole.

Other guest musicians on the album are Frank Wienk aka Binkbeats (percussion and vibraphone), David Beukers (saxophone), Prace (scratches) and Maarten Rischen (keys). The artwork for this project was made by Rebecca Solcer, the final mix by Shai Solan and the mastering was done by Statinski Mastering.

Future, Past, Present, Infinity was released in July 2016.

REAZUN – IK, BEN HARTMAN (2014)

In 2013 I hooked up again with Reazun to make some tracks for his upcoming solo album Ik, Ben Hartman. Surprisingly he wanted to rap in Dutch, instead of French, of which we’re all used to. I produced 2 songs for the album: Wagwaan and Rijk. The final mix was done by Delic.

Ik, Ben Hartman was released in 2014 on CD by the Dutch label Beter Dan Dat.

207 (2006)

Around 2005/2006, the Utrecht hiphop scene was alive, with the 207 crew (PAX, Reazun, Atactic, Perceptie and DJ Mseize) being part of its core members, we jammed a lot and held sessions in my studio.

For Girly Pants I delivered the beat, Nighty Night was recorded together in a late night session. Girly Pants has never been released so far (apart from the 207 live shows), Nighty Night ended up as a hidden track on their Enjeweet EP.
