Jazzy hip-hop, broken beats and soulful vibes; with the iconic albums Mindstate and Mystery Repeats, vocalist Pete Philly and producer Perquisite toured the world between 2004 and 2009, from South Africa to Japan. After this they both took separate paths, but the love for their collaboration remained: in early 2023 the duo decided to reunite for a grand concert at the AFAS Live in their hometown of Amsterdam on November 17 2023. Furthermore, Pete & Perq announced a new album set for release in the spring of 2024.Their first new single, ‘Hot Sauce’, was well received and became TopSong on the Netherlands’ largest national radio station. Their second single ‘Mayhem’, a striking collaboration with singer/songwriter Naaz, was recently performed live on the most famous TV talk show in the Netherlands.
To celebrate the release of their third studio album, the duo will embark on a tour with their live band across Europe in May of 2024, performing in Groningen, The Hague, Nijmegen, Hamburg, Berlin, Paris, Antwerp, Eindhoven, London and Utrecht. Their performance will certainly include thier well-known classics, as well as new music from their upcoming album, which will be performed with the live energy that we’ve come to expect from Pete Philly & Perquisite.
SWAN
Swan sets herself apart with a blunt yet poetic songwriting style and intricate vocals supported by groovy productions. In the writing process, the storyline and visuals are deeply intertwined; creating a world that goes way beyond just the musical experience. In her songs she encourages her listeners to perceive their vulnerability as strength.
After fully focusing on her skills for the last few years, Swan is now ready to step forward. She already opened up for Jeangu Macrooy and legendary soul singer Gladys Knight in Royal Theatre Carré Amsterdam. Her debut EP, ‘Underneath My Façade’, which she produces together with Perquisite, was released on February 9th 2024, on Unexpected Records. The record revolves around trying to find the balance between loving others and loving herself. Swan fearlessly explores the concealed emotions we usually keep hidden beneath the surface; not afraid to delve into uncomfortable or highly personal subjects.
