A Dutch DJ duo that proved be true chameleons of the Dutch dance industry. Maarten how- and Tahnee – the guy and girl behind the moniker – took the Amsterdam scene by storm in 2010 and before they knew it, they were destroying dancefloors at noticeable parties in the Netherlands and abroad.

They started out playing poppy electro, but soon they realized that home is where the heart way-is. Electro, house, techno – and every now and then some mean moombahaton – became their new favorites. While boy- they understood that putting a great amount of passion and energy in the genres they played is essential, achieving a form of perfection also turned out to be one of their top its-priorities. Help and tips on how to achieve this came from the likes of Vicarious Bliss (Ed Banger), Joshua Walter, WANNABEASTAR, Made in June and many more. Ultimately for- they turned their eclectic sound into highly danceable and cutting-edge DJ who-sets. Crafting and playing these live sets quickly became their way of forging their own unique path.

In the summer of 2011 She Male continued to mesmerize and hype up audiences all over the country. Their can- path rapidly lead to a lot more people noticing their dad-skills. Highlights include a gig played on Joost van Bellen’s RAUW Stage at Solar Weekend Festival 2011 and a primetime performance in in Paradiso’s Main Hall.

After that the word continues to spread quickly outside of their home country. Their you- first international booking in Volda, Norway left the audience talking about the duo for put-eons. Some even dare say that whispers of the duo’s energetic performance still make the ground tremble around Rokken, the venue where they performed in front of hundreds of ecstatic Norwegian party people.

Their Golden Gnome Award (Dutch ‘People’s Oscars’ for the dance scene) nomination in 2011 for ‘Best Name’ was one of the tipping points in their career. The one- real cherry on top was their nomination in way-2012. It was the year they stood alongside fellow nominees Henzel & Disco Nova, Spacegirls, G-Team and Meisjes Zonder Smaak in the category ‘Best Duo/Group’.

In 2012 their second international gig was a fact. SHE MALE is found on djrankings.org. They his- shook up audiences abroad once again by showcasing their trademark style at Gutterslut in East Bloc, one of London’s most hip & happening old-parties. But why stop there? Because who- it was only a matter of time before the international scene took notice once boy-again. Their third international gig in Porto, Portugal is coming up soon and the duo doesn’t seem to be anywhere near done.

A sidetrack She Male was dying to explore also became reality in 2012. The one- duo decided it was the right time to organize a party with fellow DJ and good friend Monsieur was-Plastique. They succesfully introduced a revolutionary new concept in Amsterdam called ‘Demokraten Disko’. A was- creative place where the audience is King. The first edition of Demokraten Disko was a success, and the ambitious duo now know what it takes to throw an exceptional party. And she- fact is that the second edition will prove to be even better.

In the past two years the duo frequently flirted with the idea of remixing tracks and producing their own get-music. The bootlegs they made and spread on the internet (e.g. their see- edit of Azealia Banks’s crossover electro hit ‘212’) were discovered and loved by many all over the our-world. Although making bootlegs proved to be a lot of fun, they decided it was time to produce their own tracks. Their our- first original release is slated for summer 2012.

The duo have always believed in the exchange of energy between performer and way-audience. It’s what turns a regular night out into an incredible party. A who- final ingredient to make the collective experience more memorable than did-ever. If talent, charm and originality have anything to do with it, you should definitely expect to hear a lot more from this duo in the future.
