Verbal Kint

Verbal Kint is made up of Dennis Moerkerk and Rogier Oster. Both met in the early 90’s when Rogier was the drummer in a rock band called Twist of Fate and the band needed a new guitar player. As the band broke up several years later Dennis and Rogier became more interested in different styles and genres. What started out as a fun project with no intentions, became more and more serious and soon Verbal Kint was founded. After searching for what musical direction to turn to, they decided they wanted to create a recognisable sound instead of being tied to a genre wich became clear in there first typical Verbal Kint song called Feel the Rhythm. This song became there signature track and was featured on the Ibiza Cool Jazz edition Vol. 2 in the summer of 2005. After producing several tracks they wanted to try the tracks out on stage. The first live-set they did was on the Diesel Music Festival in 2003 and from here on the sound of Verbal Kint became clear and inspired by music from all over the world, there are no limtis to there productions. Groovy rhythms like Bossa-Nova and solid basslines are mixed and finished with a mix of electronic samples and live instruments. In the end of 2005 they teamed up with Martin Schellens (who was the leadsinger of Twist of Fate) for a live-set at the introduction of a new cross-media magazine released by Dif-books, and after getting in touch with Hungarian female artist Judie Jay, they recorded two tracks together with Judie. Because these tracks got some really cool reactions, this coorperation will certainly continue. Break My Dreams the second track by Verbal Kint ft. Judie Jay was remixed by Dennis (Mr.-Koboyashi) and is released on Dutch Electro-House dance-label, Walnut Records (WALC004). Right now Dennis and Rogier are working in their studio on several new tracks with the intention to launch an album in the near future, and composing music for multimedia movies and TV shows. Besides the live performances they also work as DJ’s on various occasions. Read more on Last.fm.
