Background notes
Archive material and source history
The Opposites are Willem de Bruin and Twan van Steenhoven, who started making music together in Dordrecht around 2000. They put out their first album in 2004, and later records like 'De Nederlander' and 'Succes' kept them going through the 2000s.
A song like 'Licht Uit' from 2005 gives you a sense of what they do. It's got a catchy, upbeat feel, and the lyrics are direct and conversational, often about ordinary frustrations or relationships. That plain-spoken quality shows up in other tracks too, like 'Sukkel Voor de Liefde'.
Their sound pulls from hip-hop, but there's a light, almost pop-friendly energy to a lot of it, with bits of funk and reggae in the mix. They kept releasing albums into the 2010s, including 'Slapeloze Nachten' in 2015.
