TheQ4.
the QuadraphoniQuartet.

The Q4 is a collaboration of three young Dutch producers: Arts The Beatdoctor, Sense and STW. Who, though they all work in rather similar ways, have a unique sound of their own. The (at the time 4 men) crew was formed in a sleazy, dark bar in Amsterdam during the fourth quarter of 2005; And have since then created an impressive amount of material together, coloured by a wide range of musical influences and artistic collaborations. As apposed to continually repeating a loop, the Q4 compose their tracks practically note-by-note by making collages of hundreds of dusty little samples and percussion hits taken from vinyl. Sometimes adding material recorded with session musicians giving the whole record a very organic feel to it.
