Den Haan is Glasgow based producer/songwriter Matthew Aldworth (aka Crème De Menthe) and DJ/songwriter Andrew Gardiner. They got together back in the summer of 2006 when they discovered a mutual love of Italo and Hi NRG. After getting together for a one off party, they soon realised the endless possibilities of their creative partnership and since then have developed their own unique approach to experimental songwriting and audio/visual production. Their style now encompasses bass heavy electro, breakbeats, italo, techno and hi NRG and various other forms of modern dance music but still retains that retro feel.

Using live bass, guitars, analogue synthesizers, vocal effects and Ableton Live their music has been gaining much respect from the likes of Vic Galloway, Death Disco and the Optimo crew. In fact their latest ep “Release The Beast” came out on Optimo Music back in February to much critical acclaim. With their debut album, working title, “Gods from Outer Space” due out very soon these boys are definitely gonna be an act to keep an eye on. We at Pins And Needles are absolutely thrilled to bring them to Edinburgh for another session of forward thinking underground dance music!

As ever Pins And Needles resident noisemongers MnKy and Paul Bendoris will be supporting with their trademark eclectic electronica and bass heavy grooves.
