Euro Cinema is a Dutch instrumental funk quartet. Groove oriented, jazz influenced and led by a twin attack of roaring Hammond organ and chicken pickin' guitar, their energetic funk sound often reminds listeners of a B-movie soundtrack - hence the name! Euro Cinema is Tim den Heijer (guitar), Niels Piay (drums), Dennis Orsel (bass) and Rob Schepens (Hammond organ). The band took off when the track Euro Boogaloo off the first demo was picked up by influential DJ’s including Craig Charles (BBC Funk & Soul Show). The group started gigging on a regular basis and built a reputation for their frantic, sweaty live shows. In 2010 Euro Cinema had the honor of opening Saint Paul Soul Jazz in France, the number vote festival in the world for raw, retro funk. In 2010, Euro Cinema released the vinyl single Brooklyn Groove on the U.S. deep funk label Hammondbeat Records. The single got airplay around the globe, from the Netherlands to BBC, the U.S. and Canada. In march 2011, full length album debut "Ten-4" followed. It was presented at music temple Paradiso, whose staff named Euro Cinema "Holland's hottest souljazz/funk band". Like the single, the album was produced by Dutch funk mastermind Phil Martin, known for the Soul Snatchers and Laura Vane. It received much acclaim from funk aficionados around the globe. In 2012, Euro Cinema collaborated with saxophone and flute player Susanne Alt, who regularly performs with funk legends like George Clinton and Fred Wesley. The result is the single Der Alte b/w The French Confusion, released on German label Légère Records, home to first rate funk acts like The New Mastersounds and Mocambo Allstars. The A-side is a funkafied version of the theme to famous German Krimi series.
