(Drum & Bass, Dubstep, Ska, Electronic) Knarsetand - My Escape - 2014, MP3, 320 kbps

Knarsetand (a name that rings a bell to Teeth Grinder with a scent of the fairytale’s bad guy) is a 10-piece band that boosts an energetic mix of drum'n’ bass, gipsy, balkan, reggae, dubstep, ska and pop. This group of young musicians from the East of the Netherlands will leaves no other choice than to join in with their musical roller-coaster. Sometimes dark, sometimes mesmerising, colourful, often danceable and always contagious.
The mastermind behind Knarsetand is Martijn Holtslag (1992, Markvelde): self-taught producer, poet, rapper and world-improver. From his bedroom in an old farm out in the Eastern farmfields of the Netherlands, he combined his opinionated lyrics with his home-grown impatient beats. His wish became a shared dream when he, together with productiehuis ON and 9 other musicians, forged the band Knarsetand. In addition to electronics, the live formation exists of drums, keys, electronic guitar, contrabass, air raid alarm, vocals and a complete brass section.
