Dutch DJ Producers duo with obsession for movies, TV shows, gadgets, FX and the sounds of it all, captivated by the weirdest noises. Pale studio outlaws, almost reaching an extraordinary phenomenon, with a laid-back urban soul, and energetic as crazy monkeys running through the electronic jungle of dance music. With gift for both DJ-ing and production it wasn’t long before they caught the astute ear of Spinnin’ Records and they were immediately signed at the ripe age of 17.

Double Pleasure is on a roll. Now that the curtain has lifted on Marijn and Sam they will not stop until the whole world knows. So to tune in for the rollercoaster ride of a lifetime, and make sure you’ve wearing your finest dancing shoes.
