DJ/producer duo Sjoerd Huissoon and Tim van Doorne are on a quest to get one huge dance hit with their project Ducked Ape. In this episode of Composer Quest, I interview Sjoerd and his manager Budi Voogt about what it takes to break into the dance scene in the Netherlands. We also talk about what Budi looks for in new artists to sign on his label, Heroic Recordings.
