In 2009, you couldnt ignore Kyteman. It truly was his year. His album
The Hermit Sessions likely topped the year-end lists of many critics
and music enthusiasts. With his HipHop Orchestra, sometimes 25
members strong, Kyteman made more than his mark at numerous
festivals, including Pinkpop, Paaspop, Oerol, North Sea Jazz,
Lowlands, Appelpop, a sold-out gig at the HMH in Amsterdam, and
many club performances, always bringing the energy to the next
level. His appearances on Dutch televisionshows like Raymann Is
Laat and De Wereld Draait Door are also legendary. Now, 15 years
later, the music has not lost any of its power. It is high time for a
re-release of this iconic album in a special Anniversary Edition, with
an additional insert with photos, credits and a reflection by Colin
Benders.
