About Me

Sweatshop consists of three people(Bryan Raffault,Balthazar Pinto and Fred Donche)coming all from different musical backgrounds. Bryan(producer&dj)has already worked with many British labels with his own project called Muskat Nuss. Balthazar began djing at the age of 14.Throughout the nineties,he played in almost every good Belgian club and did also significant efforts abroad.He started producing in 2001. Fred Donche is the “musicianwizard” of the band.He started to play many instruments(like the drums and piano) very young and decided later to focus mainly on analog synthesizers. Today he is active with many Belgian known artists like Mudflow,Marie Warnant etc. Sweatshop released a first ep“I like it dirty”on the very respected label Eskimo.After the success of the track,they became djresidents in the Dirty dancing parties. Many eps were released after that.Among them:”Back in the days” wich has been remixed by Kiki(Bpitch control).They also did a beautiful remix for Marcus Lange around the same period of time. In 2006,They work with Cosy Mozzy on the double Dirty dancing complilation “histoire d’amour”on wich appears the undo(factorcity records)remix of their hit “wake up”.After that,they remixed the track “Autounno” from Margot(kraftmusic) with a certain success. Their collaboration with Dirty dancing took end in 2007. They are currently working on their first album wich will be ready in 2008.
