[moos] (“mohs”), a Dutch producer/VJ duo (Maurice Dohmen and Jorrit H Poelen), mixes dubstep, electro & techno with distorted visual samples in real time. The sound: danceable dubstep and electro with a London, Detroit and Berlin flavor; a digital wash of vocoded noise and analogue bleeps; the love-child of Kode9, 2562, Tiefschwarz, Plaid and Underground Resistance. The look: organic visual stimuli that tickle the lizard brain till it turns flips. [moos] got the second prize at the renowned Dutch Grote Prijs 2009 Dance competition.

[moos]’s distinct beats and tech treats earned the attention of Dutch radio station 3voor12 that gave [moos] their first airplay, and the [moos] track Golven was selected for the Push the Buttons compilation CD (Dutch Rock&Pop Institute NPI). After this exposure, the lowlands electronic scene took notice, and [moos] was invited to play at the Popronde, Festival a/d Werf, Tivoli De Helling, and Biton Open Air.

The visual half of [moos] also collaborated with Chicago-based experimental noise groups such as unseen|unknown (Enemy 2007), Flux Bouquet and Golden Sores (Schubas 2007, Green Lantern Gallery 2007, Enemy 2008), Estesombelo (South Union Arts 2007) and United Steelworkers Union (AV-aerie 2008). Most recently, he designed a video installation piece for the Last Supper Festival 2008 in Brooklyn, NY.
