About Me

The Story Of... 48 in DMC US Chart!!!!
The Story Of... 39 in ITunes’ Dance Albums Chart!!!!
Sound Bridge is a dj/production duo consisting of Egbert Dunselman and Pierre Pratley. Both have been involved in several successful releases in the past few years. The Sound Bridge project was born when all-round 80’s vocalist and musician Arjen Jager got in touch with the two through a mutual friend. On the first night they met in the studio, they recorded the super funky rhythmic guitar riffs that would become the basis of their forthcoming debut single: "The Story Of..." on New Yorkâ€™s System Recordings (DMC US chart, ITunes top 50 US sales).
During that night’s recording session, the three found out they had a mutual love: the melodic, nostalgic pop sounds that were predominantly heard in the 80’s. Hence, an eclectic mix of 80’s pop-rock, 70’s funk riffs and contemporary house music production was born. This unique sound is reflected not only in their productions but also in the DJ sets they play. Their carefully selected DJ sets are full of energy and very dance floor-minded, without losing their musical integrity. And the crowds love it. Recent gigs at Back to Basics in Leeds and at international festivals both in The Hague and their hometown of Groningen have left crowds asking for more. At the moment Sound Bridge is working with several instrumentalists on new productions which each in their own way will feature that typical catchy Sound Bridge sound.
