Dekmantel. Or the tornado that struck the Amsterdam house scene like no other in the past two years. Founding fathers Casper Tielrooij and Thomas Martojo have proven their selves true keepers of the oldschool as practised in Chicago and Detroit but without keeping their ears shut for the future. After making name for themselves with infamous parties at venues like Studio 80, Paradiso and Trouw, and numerous disco, house and techno flavoured dj-gigs throughout the country the label seems to be the next inevitable step for these musical gobblers.
