About Me


Biography:
"I don't feel like a dj, I feel like Dual Damage"
Rock on! Dual Damage is a drum&bass group from Brussels, Belgium. The band comprises 2 musicians, Kevin Crombé & Niels Craenen. DD was formed in 2006 when both members played a succesful dj-set together at a local club, which forecasted their similar musical ambitions. As their bookings suddenly increased, they found themselves working harder & harder each day to create the perfect sonic experience for a hungry audience of modern electronical music.
The DD-sound combines heavy beats with rocking basslines, sometimes overlaid with synthesized leads & epic soundschapes. Finding that something essential is missing from the current drum&bass-scene they seek inspiration in rock-, electro- & hiphop-music, melting the best of several genres while staying true to their roots. They refer to their music as "Dream&Bass", a name which indeed suits their sound perfectly. DD creates fast music with one intention: to rip up a dancefloor!
Their dj-sets always consist of an epic intro, a sexy selection of hot new-school tunes, special digital effects & tons of adrenaline. Using laptops & midi-controllers instead of traditional decks, DD seeks the experiment & sounds fresh! The crew is not afraid to play self-made bootleg remixes, which makes every DD-performance something special. Intruder MC (also known as the singer from the reggaeband Jammin' Fireheadz) features as a resident-vocalist for the DD-gigs. He is an undisputed lyrical master & takes any DD-set to an even higher level.
The last few months have seen Dual Damage retreat to their studio to work on some new tunes (coming soon on this myspace!). The boys are very busy bees & have a lot of other projects besides performing. In 2006 they were approached by FM Brussels & Radio Panik to mix some electronical jazz & breakbeat on "jazzstation" & "jazz my ass". Both stations were very pleased with the result & invited DD to do dj-sets on air more often. Currently the crew coöperates with Flava Circus, a D&B party-collaboration which sets up free drum&bass sessions in Belgium. They are now the respected residents at every single Flava-event. More recently, Synapse invited them to become residents at their parties as well. Synapse is a big collaboration between several musicians & artists which will bring forward a new era of clubbing & raving in Belgium.
Who knows what more the future will bring for DD & their side-projects? Fact is, nothing's unpredictable if you invent it. Time for Dual Damage!

How they signified EternityFor time or for eternity immense They did depict the moon or else the sun - Which planets twain of time are elements - Nor of infinity the sign did shun. In shining gold they causèd to be done The basilisk that with its tail so tight Its body in a circle covers quite. With edge of gold this circle they decked out, Painted and formed it to impress the sight. Their gods with serpents they did gird about. Que denotoyent par le serpent BasiliqPar le serpent l'Egiptiène afferme Signifier le temps comprins en l'eage Encor qu'en soient troys espèces conforme, Les aultres meurent de mort, ne crainct daumaige Immortel est, car de son seul visaige Par son aleisne aulx aultres mort faict estreEt en tenent de vie et mort l'usaige Dessus la teste des Dieux ont le vient métré. What the Basilisk serpent denotedTh' Egyptians did withal the serpent use To signify of age the passing time, Of which three species represent three views. While some the death do die, shall fear no crime Th' immortal whose sheer facial paradigm Breathes death to others who are mortal made And subject are to life and death and time. Far, far above the gods he is portrayed. Comment le mandeVoulant le munde escripre et vénérer Ung serpent paignent de diverses escailhes Distinct qui vient sa cueue dévorer, Figurant l'astre du monde par ses tailles Cest animal a en soy de grandz faillie, Est fort poisant respect sa magnitude Comme la terre, aussi lubrique et crude Ung chascung an changeant peau et vielhesse Que par raison des ans change jeunesse, Ainsi le monde, et quant ce que son corps Vient dévorer, la divine action Du monde vient produyre foybles et fors, Aussi défailhent par son extinction. How they represented the worldWishing the world to show and venerate They paint a snake with divers scales indent Who clearly would his own tail masticate And by his shape the world would represent. This creature is by nature crude and bent, Yet in its size imposing as you wish, Like unto earth, as smooth as any fish, That every year doth change its state and skin, Thus ever staying young, year out, year in. So, too, the world: and when its body it Would fain consume, the act of God, they say Makes weak and strong alike from out of it Who all would fail if it should pass away. Comment Ilz signifiaient l'anNous voulant l'an monstrer par note honneste Paignoient Isis leur royne et déesse, Par ceulx d'Egipte estoit une planète Dicte en leur langue sethos par vraye adresse, astromyon dicte par ceulx de Grèce,Sur toutz aultre aseumant force et pouvoir Quelquefoys grande ou moingdre on la peut voir, Donnant clarté à sa prime aparanse Qu'à son lever souvent ont vient prévoir Du temps futur la juste cognoiscense. //XII 4 FEu, flamme, faim, furt, farouche, fumée Fera faillir, froissant fort, foy faucher : Fils de Denté. toute Prouence humée. Chassé de regne, enragé sans cracher.FEu, flamme, Faum, furt, farouche, fumée, Fera faillir, froiƒƒant fort foy faucher, Fils de Derité : toute Prouence humée, Chaƒƒé de Regne, enragé ƒang cracher.Feu, flamme, faim, furt, farouche, fumée Fera faillir, froiƒƒant fort, foy faucher.

These are they that follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were purchased from among men, to be the firstfruits unto God and unto the Lamb. 14:5And in their mouth was found no lie: they are without blemish. 14:6And I saw another angel flying in mid heaven, having eternal good tidings to proclaim unto them that dwell on the earth, and unto every nation and tribe and tongue and people; 14:7and he saith with a great voice, Fear God, and give him glory; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made the heaven and the earth and sea and fountains of waters. 14:8And another, a second angel, followed, saying, Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great, that hath made all the nations to drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication. 14:9And another angel, a third, followed them, saying with a great voice, If any man worshippeth the beast and his image, and receiveth a mark on his forehead, or upon his hand // - L'enfant désherité s'enivre de soleileen voetafdruk geluid in grint & maanlicht op de wagen viel tot dat lichaam zich weer sloot, tot het lichaam zich weer sluit.kleur bedacht ik om het haar & om het vlak der ogen te betasten, warmte om het einde van mijn koude op haar poorten voelbaar stuk te slaan.een korte nacht wellicht is dit bestaan.- Envoie-toi bien loin de ces miasmes morbides;vel op derrie, roos in slijk, op vegen nacht een vaal gezicht tot het lichaam mij bekoorde, tot dat lichaam mij bekoort.vlees verhaalt de zeeën hoe het vocht vergaat in grond & mijn onkruid brandt in monden die mijn aandrift nimmer schonden.tekort aan haar wellicht is wat ik deed.- Et vous, femmes, hélas!
