Dean the Machine

Hi! I'm Dean, a bassist from Ghent in my mid-30s with a passion for funk, classic rock, and instrumental music. I love playing loose and funky grooves 🕺 as well as tight, driving basslines 🔥. I enjoy everything from vintage funk sounds 🎶 to modern post-punk and rock ⚡. Some of my favourite artists include Sly and the Family Stone, Parquet Courts, La Luz, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and The Prodigy. I'm looking to meet like-minded musicians who enjoy the energy and fun of surf rock, funk, and alternative sounds — whether it's for regular rehearsals, live gigs, or starting a new project. If you're into funky grooves 🎸, great melodies ✨, and good vibes 😎, feel free to get in touch!
