Headfirst
Bright Shiny Beats(cd)
Why Not?(cd single)
New from the Netherlands, DJAX Records presents Headfirst! We
received an album of the new dance-crossover crew Headfirst a
few months ago. At this moment even Radio 3FM spins the single
more the ones a day (mid-days!), "Why Not?", is top-song of the
album. How can you describe Headfirst? Hmm, the first time I listened
to the album I thought it was a production of Urban Dance Squad
or Junky XL (also with The Silver Surfing Rudeboy) but with more
acoustic instruments. Listen yourself to track2 of the album,
its like Rudeboy hyped the crowd up there! Not, its Syklone the
MC of Headfirst (catching name b.t.w.). Members are Ype Wielinga,
the former guitar player of Eboman and does olso the beats, vocals
and keyboards, DaRule on the keyboards and DJ Rockid 2 times DMC
champ on the one and two's.
Headfirst started in 1997 and bombed the market with the single
"Dis" later the toured all over the Netherlands, performed at
Noorderslag, Metropolis and Lowlands. Headfirst has even success
in Europe and in America with first-class performances. In 1999
DJAX Records signed a license deal with Smile Records USA and
East West Records from Warner Germany. The single "Dance Fever"
of the album To Da Bone has been released in the USA at the begin
of spring 1999. The track "Dis" has also been licensed to many
worldwide compilations.
So now its time to let Holland know who they really are and have
launched there new album November 17th last year. The single takes
it away, so hopefully the hole album does.
The performance should be all that, cause of the solo show of
DJ Rockid and also a VJ show of Mac-Motion that should be worth
seeing. I always liked the crossover bands like Urban Dance Squad
and Junky XL but Headfirst has to many house influences, like
they say it themselves. Support the music productions from Holland
with international success and go to a concert or by the album
of them. It is worth while for real.
