With a moniker like Hermanos Inglesos one could secure himself a lucrative future as part of a Columbian smuggling cartel or some cheesy Anglo-Mexican mariachi act.? Nevertheless, the real life brothers Cedric and Didier Engels (Engels being the Dutch word for English, hence Hermanos Inglesos = English brothers, comprende?) are none of the above. ?They feel best at home in their studio or behind a DJ-mixer, preferably in front of a frantic crowd, hungry for good times and exciting tunes.
The Belgian siblings are not only united in blood but also in a taste for music like irony never happened.
The boys wear their influences on their sleeves and are not ashamed to admit it. ?Belgium has a great tradition in electronic music, clubbing and bringing forth influential DJs. From the R&S label and the groundbreaking club Boccaccio, to Eskimo Recordings and Culture Club.
?Hermanos Inglesos sucked it all in and made it their own.
Result: eclectic DJ-sets including their own edits, remixes and tracks. Last year these Diesel-U-Music-winners/ex-Culture-Club-residents signed a record deal and released a few EP’s and remixes, with success (picked up by BBC Radio 1 etc.). ?Now they just finished their full album, to be released in the beginning of 2010 (Pias), with ‘Mastermind’ as first single.
Expectations are sky high...
