Yellow Claw

Playing a mash up of Trap, Hip Hop and at times Dubstep and Electrohouse, the group’s sound has always helped them stand out, especially in their native country. Consisting of DJ’s Bizzey, Jim Aasgier and Nizzle (real names Nils Rondhuis, Leo Roelandschap and Jim Taihuttu) the group’s popularity began in 2010 when they formed the Yellow Claw party night at famous Amsterdam club, The Jimmy Woo. They began to release singles in the years that followed and even experienced some chart success in the Dutch and Belgian charts.

The popularity of these songs and the group in general was accelerated by a number of popular videos which, after going viral, received millions of views on Youtube. The profile boost this gave them allowed them to ink a deal with one of Electronic Music’s most powerful figures, Diplo, who welcomed the group onto his Mad Decent label. The label has since released a number of Eps for the group including ‘Amsterdam Trap Music’ and ‘Amsterdam Twerk Music’.

In this time the group has also founded their own label, Barong Family, which has taken on many artists including Mightyfools and Yung Felix.

Not just a studio collective, the group also play huge shows around the globe with their European following being as large as the US following that partnerships with labels like Mad Decent and Fool’s Gold has given them.
