My personal wish happened! “Beyond Our Shores” our new orchestral hip hop album of Valvetronic featuring 13 different rappers and vocals! Seventeen songs with guest appearances on every song. I put a big stamp on that by writing, arranging, co-producing most of the album together with my buddy
@paulvdcalseijde . Furthermore I recorded the majority of the guest artists in our new
@soulclapstudiosamsterdam . Every track, every session has its own story. The album talks about personal experiences around trust, going out of your comfort zone and sharing that to the next generation! Very happy and proud that it’s finally out and it’s available on all streaming platforms, and on Vinyl or CD in our webshop!
So far we played our epic release show in Melkweg and the final act of Jazz in Duketown. Next one is Graceland Festival and Blow in Kerkrade in August!
