Rupert&Mennert's photostream

DJ and producer duo Rupert&Mennert started DJ'ing many years ago in a small cafe in hometown Den Helder called "De Bliksem". At some point both DJ's thought it was time to create their own music and produced a very danceable first track called "Modified" which was inspired by sample hero Matthew Herbert. Since that day several productions and remixes were created and a few years later their first full live band was a fact. In fall of 2004 their first band was born: Rupert&Mennert Electro Quintet. Spending too much time with talking about good music and having fun with the band members, RMEQ prooved not to be the most efficient/productive band in the world. Despite this weakness RMEQ was able to create some very beautiful songs. Sometimes with a jazzy sound, sometimes very electronic, but always a great combination of real instruments and electronics. Mariëlle (clarinet, saxophone), Louis (drums), Auke (bass, upright bass, saxophone) and Rupert&Mennert (doing all the other stuff) form the backbone of this band.
