About Me |

Driftkikker / drift-kik-ker (de ~ (m.)) - language / Dutch - literary translation / impetuous frog - common translation / someone impulsive "... I love it! It's adventurous, contemporary (with obvious good roots), an adventure to listen to..." - Elliott Randall guitar player on Steely Dan's "Reelin' In The Years", "Fame" (the motion picture) and many more... "Soul. Jazz. Cool analog funk. And an ultra heaping helping of infectious groovedom - that's the Driftkikker steelo, and it's wowing heads at NYC's Cellar Bar, where I kick it each week. Keep on y'all. Your flow is crazy tasty.." - Rafe Gomez a NYC's DJ and Radio Host on various major jazz radio stations (Smooth Jazz, WJSJ/WSJF, KJJZ/K Jazz) - USA. "... A superb combination of styles and eras: nu jazz, ambient, funk and rock… U2 meets Incognito. We love it !.." - Sandy Shore - President/Founder of Smoothjazz.com - SmoothLounge.com "...this album will be easy to fall in love with!" - DJ Suefo Radio Tilos in Hungary. "..The CD has the possibility to be set as a forefront of a fine jazz tinted music." - Roel Willems of Musicfrom.NL ""Every track gets me in a musical experience, this album is a must have" - Adia Prabowo Music Director for 99.2 FM Prambors Rasisonia Solo - Indonesia Driftkikker is a project founded and lead by Daddo (audio/visual artist) since march 2005.Daddo is a pupil of a last protege of Stephane Grapelli, Vitali Imerelli, Daddo is also known for his interactive performances at the North Sea Jazz festivals. Driftkikker started of as a studio project, when Daddo was searching for a new and fresh synthesis of jazzy and electronic expressions, this eventually led to a more intense cooperation with Ned and John, both of who worked with a line of prominent musicians on the scene, s.a. Sharon den Adel (Within Temptation) and Tasha (Tasha’s world ).First single “Your expression” was released in July 2005, this track came out with the re-mix by R.O.U.D.O.S. (renowned Greek producer). Half a year later, beginning of 2006, this cooperation evolved to a current band formation. In twining styles s.a. trip hop, ambient, latin, funk, jazz, rock, and utilizing the power of modern technology with traditional instrumentation, closest to definition of Driftkikker’s music is nu-Jazz.By the end of June 2006 Driftkikker released the debut “Coming of the light” containing 15 tracks of unusual but pleasing blends of musical styles. This debut is being acclaimed by the reviewers as a fresh, creative, innovative, forefront of fine jazz tinted music and easy to fall in love with.Since the release of “Coming of the light”, Driftkikker is enjoying growing inter/national attention, thus far the CD has been played on the national radio stations in Netherlands, England, France, Hungary, Indonesia and United States, it’s kicking around New York’s nightclubs, and next to that track “What” has been selected for a prestigious compilation “mixed tape” (edition 14) by Mercedes-Benz. |
