Musician Profile
Veniek:
They originated from Lichtenvoorde and later settled in Rotterdam and Winterswijk, respectively. Their musical journey began when they discovered their shared interest in techno and house music, leading them to collaborate under the name Folie a Deux.
Zone Focus
Folie a Deux: As mentioned, this is the collaborative project between Robert and Kees. They started producing together in the early 2000s, blending their individual styles to create a unique sound. Their productions often feature a mix of minimal techno and melodic elements.
KeeZz: This alias is likely used by Kees van der Ven in his solo projects.
Kobalt Nomad: This could be another solo project or a collaborative effort, possibly linked to the same network of artists.
Gear and Techniques
The use of trackers like FastTracker was prevalent in the 1990s for creating electronic music. These tools allowed musicians to compose music using samples and sequences, a method that was both cost-effective and innovative at the time. The inclusion of hardware like the Roland TB-303 and TR-909 suggests a deep engagement with acid house and techno genres, known for their distinctive basslines and drum patterns. The Roland D-10, a digital synthesizer, would have been used for its rich, layered sounds, while the Arturia MicroFreak is a modern synthesizer known for its versatility and unique features. Zoom FX units indicate a focus on sound processing and effects, essential for shaping the sonic landscape of electronic music.
Labels and Collaborations
The mentioned tracker groups—New Hardcore Mixer, Execution Records, United Core Production, and Decademusic—were likely platforms for distributing and sharing music within the underground electronic scene. These groups provided a space for artists to collaborate, remix, and release tracks, often bypassing traditional record labels. The association with these groups places the musician within a network of like-minded artists, contributing to the evolution of electronic music in the Netherlands during the 1990s.
