Name Explanation
Contrary to what the name suggests (driftkikker is Dutch for “someone impulsive”), the music is quite cool, groovy, and relaxed. When asked, Daddo replied with a smile, “Due to my temperamental and somewhat volatile nature I have been called driftkikker many times but music is my remedy.”

An exceptional multi-instrumental player, Satoshi Rei is most known for her skills with Asian instruments such as the “Yueqin” (Asian lute), “Ruan”, “Sha-Mi-Sen”, guitar and Lap steel guitar. In Japan, her music has been featured in various television commercials, as well as videos and as a beautiful backdrop at various events. To date, Satoshi Rei has released 6 CDs (2 as part of a rock band, 1 as part of Asian Music Project, 2 as a solo artist, 1 as part of improvised music group).

Satoshi Rei has also lived in France (2001) and the Netherlands (2003), where she continued to focus on music. Satoshi Rei continuously asks herself what it means to create/perform sounds as a person rooted in the Far East. Keeping the question as her primary focus, Satoshi Rei has strived to create her unique sounds by fusing the essence of Asia and Western, modern and traditional with her melodies of Asian ethnicity and also with Rock music. Through her works, Satoshi Rei has made an attempt to extract essences of ethnic distinctions and fuse them together. Ultimately, her sounds are driven for not being categorized into any of pre-selected musical style or associated with any ethnic backgrounds. Satoshi Rei also hopes that her sounds manifest protest to what our generation has lost (or is loosing) at the cost of modernization of the society in its recent history.

Thanks and see you soon!!

Thanks to Daddo and his design we have more updated look for the Silence Studio website.

The old and the  latest news are stil missing, some text is still messy, but everything else works fine. I’ll post the latest news a.s.a.p.

Thank you for your patience.

The sound quality for the casual Jazzy Lounge listener with the mp3pro plug-in will be upgraded from FM to CD.

In conjunction with the upgrade, Jazzy Lounge will have in rotation more tracks at 100 BPM or greater. Genres being eliminated from weekday rotation will be ambient, dance, most house, trip-hop, hip-hop and some electronica. Jazzy Lounge is aiming for a jazzier, funkier mix- more nu jazz, acid jazz, lounge, smooth jazz, downtempo, funk jazz, jazzy house and chill out.

The first segment of new format will probably be approximately three hours long and will be expanded throughout the day until it reaches a nine hour format.

So tune in and listen to some more Driftkikker on this wonderfuly eclectic radio station !

Marianne Fortuin, for Hart van Holland wrote:

Striking because of original music was the band Driftkikker. When asked for the origin of their name Daddo the singer/songwriter and gitarist of the band said: “We all three are not particularly impetuous but rather emotional. Fortunately we get along very well with each other and agree with the direction where we want to take our music to.”
