Sideways is Dutch composer / DJ / musician Bart van Wissen. .....What does one need these days in order to succeed in todays tough world of the music industry? A great deal of determination would be a big answer. Besides the obvious elements such as knowing the right people, managing a fresh outlook towards dance music and possessing a certain level of musical awareness, maybe the most important quality that Dutch producer Bart van Wissen brings to the table is his genuine raw talent. His dreams began around the tender age of seven, when his grandfather gave him his first keyboard. It didnt take long before he taught himself to play some basic songs with it. After some time, his parents decided that it wouldnt be such a bad idea if he took some lessons to help develop his musical skills. At age eleven, when most people are listening to bland pop songs on commercial radio, Bart started producing drumnbass tracks on his computer. His taste continued to evolve and he absorbed a larger variety of different styles such as house, trip-hop, jazz, funk and a healthy dose of abstract beats, all of which remain a major influence in his present work. At the age of nineteen, Bart sent his first demo to Deep Records label boss Peter van Hal. After listening to just a few songs, Van Hal quickly decided that Bart was extremely unique. His fresh sound and incredible musical versatility really shined through his work. From that moment, Bart has been releasing music that has been played by the big DJs all over the world, covering a broad range of styles. Nowadays, he still refuses to limit himself to just one style of music. His dance floor-oriented work can be described as funky and danceable, yet at the same time very musical. His downtempo music (under his Sideways alias) contains elements from jazz, funk, triphop and even classical music.........
