Since electronic music's earliest endeavours, The Hague has steadily provided us with superior artists in different genres. The city's latest dance music generation is represented by the likes of Newton da Costa and Pieter Ridder. Brought together by their shared love of house, hip hop, jazz, soul and funk, they formed Le Chien Perdu in 2005. Even though they like to describe their own music as "House music with a twist", the goal remains to make uneasily categorized dancefloor driven songs.
Since their live act took off early 2006, Le Chien Perdu have been lined-up with some of their greatest heroes: Ark, Cabanne, Audio Werner, Agnes and Antislash. Their smashing debut on Cupari records, The Greed EP (2007), added a great deal to their fame in The Netherlands and abroad. With The Cause Of Tangerines EP (including an Ark remix) coming out on Paris' renowned Karat label and The Backyard Boogie EP on Amsterdam's fresh Made With Love, the world is set to hear a lot more of their quirky sounds.
