Dutchican Soul

Sometimes a surprise meeting can lead to some true inspiration. In this case, two renowned producers, Niels Schroder & Jasper Drexhage, bumped into each other at Amsterdam Dance Event 2008. This lead to the succesful formation of Holland’s latest quality house sensation, Dutchican Soul.

These two experienced industry professionals met whilst discussing the future of the dance scene. They found that their approach to making music was the same. In that random meeting they spoke passionately about making music from the heart and soul.

They play most of the musical parts themselves with real instruments (drums, programming, guitar, saxophone, piano, etc). They quickly agreed to open a new studio together in Amsterdam, and the rest, as they say, is history.

Within a short space of time Dutchican Soul’s releases have gained a spot in the bags of renowned spinners such as Miguel Migs, Sergio Flores, Danny Marquez, Hardsoul, Born to Funk, DJ Jeroenski, Brian Tappert, Rasmus Faber, Alfred Azzeto, Roberto de Carlo, Jay-J, Jask, Random Soul, DJ-Spen, Aaron Ross, Axwell and Shane-D to name just a few.

Dutchican Soul productions have also been played on the airwaves, with Hed Kendi, Ministry of Sound and Miss Moneypennys.

The boys are getting set for 2010 as we speak. They are now ready to use their years of musical production experience to form a live band/act. They are also on the verge of setting up their own label called Solitone Music. The imprint will be a home to cross-over productions for soul and pop artists.
