Randomatik is a music and multi-media project. The group was founded by Laurens Kagenaar (aka Lau) & Maarten Bousie (aka Dan Sanders), with a variety of artists alongside them. The name is based on two basic elements, ‘Random’ and ‘Automatic’. Random refers to daily life in general as well as to the project’s musical direction, being completely versatile. Randomatik therefore perfectly reflects the gang’s look upon life and music, being a random yet automatic process. Or was it the other way around?

Thinking outside the box of nowadays’ expectations is the main drive behind the project. Despite maintaining firm roots in the 4/4 electronic dance music scene, Lau and Dan by no means wish to restrict themselves to certain aesthetic boundries. Listeners can expect a wide variety of styles on the debut album ‘Best of Randomatik’. Three singles are expected to see the light of day in 2009.

The first album’s music has been put together over the past couple of years and can best be described as a colorful blend of a wide range of musical styles. Not content with only working on intriguing instrumental experiments, the Randomatik crew teamed up with a wide variety of befriended vocalists, like I-Repeat (Beef), Lilian Viera (Zuco 103), Michael ‘Rollarock’ Parkinson, Big Boy Caprice, Lyrical Roy, Senna Gourdou, Rock-attack Ten, Warren Morris and McInnes.

Randomatik’s live performances can be expected to be different each and every time. Based on strong musical ingredients the idea is to be as versatile as possible in mixing them together. DJ & Live sets will showcase a different blend of the recognizable musical and visual elements each and every time. Performances will constantly feature different artists.
