BRMD aka Brisa Roché & IX, an omnivorous musical duo inspired by 60s pop, 80s electronics and modern hip-hop.

In 2007, the young Dutch teenager Marnix Dorrestein got his hands on a compilation of Rock & Folk and discovered the solar and hypnotic title of Brisa Roché -
Heavy Dreaming
.
It's love at first sight.
Fast forward nine years and fate brings them face to face on an urgent composition, the beginning of a lively and close collaboration where their qualities (speed, openness in style) come together in 17 pieces written between Paris and Amsterdam.
Distilled into 13 songs, a refreshing pop album was born - natural, emotional and modernist.
The skillful voices respond to each other and dance in the wake of androgyny, mixing acoustic orchestrations, lush harmonies and electronic production and plunging us into a carefree musical atmosphere, in the manner of a contemporary Gershwingian blues.
Periods and styles intersect, from academicism to futuristic experimentation, a tribal rhapsody where you can lose yourself in the restorative bath of joyful chaos.
Marnix Dorrestein
received a Gold Disc for producing and co-writing the album
Kersvers
by Herman van Veen and an Edison Award for modern adaptations of 17th century music on the album
Hush
with mezzo- soprano Nora Fischer.
An independent producer, he has been a creative and manager in dozens of international projects.
