I have a triphopband called Demi-Sick, it's not really dance music, but it's
quite intelligent. We use mostly sequences of at least 8 chords, which is
(excuse for not being humble) too difficult for most listeners. We have two girl
singers, one rapper, two violins, a cello, a sax, a guitar and I do keyboards
and drum programming.  We started in July and we have already 6 finished songs.
We'll probably start doing gigs in May, here in Belgium.
I also do some occasional dnb, but I lack time and gear.
I play in Boerderij Van Krampen, which is a combination of sampling and live
percussion. We only go on stage once a year with one project (that'll be 3rd May
this year with a project called Oenderdoenuitskuik Ablamatskam Waapgoerl IV-XI).
Finally, I do some occasional stuff with musicians from the (rather small) scene
up here, like an acoustic remix of Daft Punk's Around the World.
