< b>INFO


After taking a deep dive into the dusty crates with Belgi an & Dutch music, Harde Smart now unearths a smooth selection of jazzy, funky & soulful gems from their collected vinyl stash. All the music you hear, was recor ded and produced during the 1970's, in either Flanders (the Dutch-speaking part of Belgium) or Holland. Besides exquisite grooves and hard-pounding drums, the s elected songs also have Dutch lyrics in common, making this a rather unique way to approach and compile lyric-driven Flemish and Dutch music from back in the da ys. Record collectors all over this language area seem to have neglected a consi derable part of their own musical legacy for a few decades, while firmly searchi ng for rare grooves and breaks in the bins with more exotic music.

Ye t nothing is so certain as the unexpected. 'Flemish & Dutch grooves from the 70' s' is the first 'Dutch' compilation album to uncover the genuine, Afro-American funk and soul vibe. A sound that - albeit infrequently - influenced the work of some of the popular and less popular singers and musicians in this small part o f the world in the 70's. Although influences undoubtedly also derived from the F rench chanson and rock music from that era. This 21-track album smashes all musi cal predictability and takes you on a weird and nostalgic trip; offering a revis ed set of 'essential homegrown classics' for the local listener, yet also being very exciting to the ears of the non-Dutch speaking audience.
