Spag Heddy

Born in Holland, based in Spain, sights set on America: Spag Heddy is as international as he is prolific. And he’s amped for his forthcoming US tour… “I’m crazy excited,” he laughs. “I’m already feeling super nervous as I prepare for it. Most my fanbase seems to be in America and for years I’ve been asked to come over and play so it’s dream come true for me and my fans.” With such a hard hitting bass sound that’s directly inspired (and supported) by the likes of Datsik and Skrillex it’s crazy to think he’s not explored America yet. “Totally inspired by American music!” says the Dutchman. “All those guys the rougher, growly side of dubstep. That’s what I’ve been making and what I started with. Since the beginning it’s been my ultimate dream to tour America. That’s where my stuff is at!” Probably been asked a whole bunch of times before. But not by us. “Well I was already making music – hip-hop beats for Dutch rappers to buy – but when dubstep got the Holland hype around 2011 I found myself most comfortable and inspired in the studio to make that sound. My earliest of that sound was on Partyscratch. Kypski, the label owner, asked for an artist name as he didn’t think my real name was cool enough. I’d already been joking around with my housemates that I was going to be Spag Heddy because I was always making pasta and noodles and cheap food and my friend was going to be MC Roni. Like macaroni. I thought it was funny so I stuck with it.” Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
