Extince & DJ DNS
50 jaar Simplon
Spraakwater Forever
To mark our 50th anniversary, the ‘father of Dutch hip-hop’, Extince, is returning to Simplon to celebrate 30 years of Spraakwater!
Hip-hop in Dutch? That wasn’t cool - until Extince burst onto the scene. With his hit ‘Spraakwater’, Extince scored the very first Dutch-language hip-hop hit. And it didn’t stop at just one hit; this was followed by the album ‘Binnenlandse Funk’, which produced hits such as ‘Viervoeters’, ‘Kaal Of Kammen’ and ‘Zoete Inval’. The album has gone down in history as a true milestone.
With ‘Binnenlandse Funk’, Extince released an album that paved the way for many hip-hop artists who came after him. It is no coincidence that acts such as De Jeugd van Tegenwoordig, Opgezwolle and Fresku cite him as a major source of inspiration.
The hip-hop scene may have changed, but thirty years on, Spraakwater’s influence remains immense. And so it’s time to celebrate the thirtieth anniversary of this track’s release. What’s more, Extince won’t be taking to the stage on his own tonight; he’ll be joined by turntable champion DJ DNS. Two key figures from the Dutch hip-hop scene together on one stage: Extince’s iconic flows and DJ DNS’s turntable skills, plus 30 years of musical history. You’ve got to see it!
