Dorpsstraat 3
Dracula/cleopatra
For their very first live performance at a Halloween party in 2021 Dorpsstraat 3 played Dutch '60s classic 'Dracula' as the last song to pay tribute to ZZ en de Maskers. Two years later time has come to release their version of the cult classic. With heavy usage of rhythmboxes and analog synths Dorpsstraat 3 translates the song into the style they're known for without taking away the charm of the original. Originally quite an upbeat song about a lost love, Dorpsstraat 3 take the original beat song and takes away the teenage angst and make it sound eery and hunting by slowing it down... a lot. Adding a fat sounding analog synth bass to the driving rhythm box with new textures slowly building and building throughout the song slowly reaching the climax/the conclusion that the end has been unavoidable. B/w another Dutch '60s classic, 'Cleopatra' by Ernie Bender & The Robbins.
