Sentinel Island Disco invites Bonnefooi
Bonnefooi, real name Michel van der Meer, needs little introduction. Having spent nearly a decade at the legendary Rush Hour store in Amsterdam, soaking up sounds from every corner of the world, Bonnefooi is the “real deal” in the realm of ‘selector DJs.’ Well known for his deep knowledge of tropical nuggets from the ’70s to the ’90s, he seamlessly blends them back and forth with disco and other electronic grooves. More recently, he’s credited as the producer behind Dutch hip-hop projects with Raven Kangee.
Words from Barney (Sentinel Island Disco):
“Michel is one of the most passionate and knowledgeable people I’ve met in the music bizz. Beyond his jaw-dropping record collection—the most impressive I’ve ever seen—his expertise in audio engineering, music archiving, analog gear and audio fidelity is unmatched. He has literally devoted his life to this art form. He’s a walking encyclopedia of several corners in the audio world that few truly understand, and even fewer master. I’m blessed as he’s been a real teacher to me on multiple occasions. This is great but also time consuming haha; every time Michel notices you have a certain musical interest, he’s quick to point you in a direction that leaves you doing homework for weeks after.
This invitation comes long overdue and I’m super thrilled to share the decks with this legend over that warm Canvas sound system!”
