Concrete Sneaker

Concrete Sneaker was initiated in 2010 by producer/composer Wouter D. Snel and singer/songwriter Nikos Frangiskatos. Both were active in the music industry for a long time, walking their own separate paths. When they met, all pieces fell into place. Pieces that resulted in a new, refreshing and unique style combining tunes from the good old days of soul and jazz with the classics from the days when hip-hop, breakbeat and dance were hitting the streets for the first time. Soon, a band was formed with great musicians that share the same musical passion and Concrete Sneaker was born. Together they create songs with a mix of great groovy beats, old skool samples and rocking tunes that touch a broad audience in many ways. Songs that refer to the old skool legends, but are made into music for today's and future generations. Songs you can't get out of your head. Concrete Sneaker's debut single "Pretty Lady" was released on September 16th 2011, which resulted in the band being titled "Soul and Jazz Talent" by the Dutch Radio 6. The second single "Good Old Days" received lots of airplay among several national radio stations and on MTV brand new in the Netherlands. A convincing performance at Eurosonic Noorderslag '12 was followed by successful gigs around the nation. In September 2012 Concrete Sneaker was nominated for Radio 6 award "best Soul & Jazz talent" and is now working towards their debut album.
