“Are you ready?” And ‘Okay Let’s Go’. With these cries you should immediately think of the fair. For the Tilburgse Laurens van Dijk, better known as DJ and music producer smooth eel, they even form an inspiration. During the Tilburg fair, he made a song together with Omroep Brabant with all the sounds of the fair. The song with video clip was released on Friday.
Smooth eel went on the Tilburg fair in recent days to record those real, classic fairground sounds. “It doesn’t just have to be funny. It can also be a sound with a certain ambiance, for example such a coin slider. That is really the fair.”
Even at the roller coaster he manages to catch a sound. “You can use the rattling sound of the cable from the roller coaster as a kind of structure of the song. This is already quite top. And it is the sound that you bring up. That is also the function that it has to fulfill in the track.”
“It is very fair, but that is also the intention.”
He uses the sound of the roller coaster as a structure and then comes “The drop.” “You suddenly go there. Just like in the roller coaster,” he says during mounting. “It is very fair, but that is also the intention.”
Smooth eel has been living in Tilburg for seven years. “So I like to give something back for the city.” On Friday evening he will perform at the Stadhuisplein at eleven. On top of that he will run his latest track entertainer.
Listen here the new song and appropriate video clip of smooth eel in collaboration with Omroep Brabant:
