The Tech House DJ duo existing of Sem Dieke and Damon van der Waal you might know them from the track ‘Keep On Lovin’, the podcast Silk & Fuss' Finest or from the dope gigs these boys did already. Their music is featured as groovy, rhythmic and soulful. Sem and Damon are busy creating their own kind of brand. Enough reasons to make sure you keep an eye on Silk & Fuss.
From early on the two friends from Alkmaar started playing music. They both were eleven when they made mixtapes with their just bought DJ controller. Their interests in music production came when discovering the DAW FL Studio. After a lot of practicing the first tracks were made and the DJ/Producer duo was born. The new DJ/Producer collective was called Silk & Fuss. Meanwhile the boys are working together more seriously and they released their first official tracks already and there are lot’s of new releases planned.
They also received more requests for gigs. What started with playing on the birthday parties of friends, became playing in clubs and on festivals, among which Woodlands Festival, Sportler Festival (in Germany) and SLAM! Koningsdag 2017. Silk & Fuss was the first act from their city who played on the famous SLAM! Koningsdag (one of the big-gest Dutch Kingsday festivals) in Alkmaar.
Their podcast called Silk & Fuss' Finest, started as a simple weekend mix. This radio show is gaining more and more listeners and is also broadcasted on six radiostations (in Holland, England and in the US). All the jingles and even the intro and outro of the podcast are made by Silk & Fuss. Sem and Damon are developing themselves each day and their own sound is starting to get shape. The productions made by Silk & Fuss are recommended by ANOTR, Siege, René Amesz and a lot of other big names in the Tech House scene. The main goal for the boys is to turn their hobby into their job and of course just to make people happy with their sound. Producing and DJing is the thing the boys love to do the most. Besides all this Sem and Damon started their own event agency called DaSa Events for the bunch of parties they are about to launch.
Other interesting projects like for example Silk & Fuss merchandise is also on it’s way. From 2017 onwards the boys are working full-time on realizing their dream. Sem is enrolled at Npac (Dutch pop music academy) and Damon is enrolled at PACT+ (another music producer study). There is progression every week and there’s no reason for not checking out these guys. Make sure you stay tuned.
