Born and raised in The Hague, Guilermo Schurman grew up steeped in his family\u2019s Surinamese culture. He started music production as a teenager, when he met a guy called Rishi, who introduced him to bubbling \u2013 a high-energy sound pioneered by DJ Moortje<\/a> and friends from the Antilles\u2019 diaspora, which brings dancehall vibes into the speed and structure of house music. In his own words, \u201cbubbling is a Caribbean secret weapon. It first resonated in the streets and slowly became noticed internationally \u2013 it\u2019s a way to put people from Suriname and Cura\u00e7ao on the map.\u201d Guilermo got his stage name, De Schuurman<\/a>, which means the Grind-man, from the moves on the dancefloor whenever his music drops (laugh).<\/em> This initial bubbling phase was followed by a deep dive into trap music, which he explored under the Godfulleffect<\/a> moniker, a musical universe made of soft orchestral melodies laid on a fierce yet much slower beats, switching gears from his earlier, more frenetic sounding work. With Nyege Nyege<\/a>\u2019s support, he is now bringing bubbling back to the fore, setting dancefloors across Europe \u2013 and most recently Senegal \u2013 on fire, collecting well-deserved accolades along the way, including a feature as Bandcamp\u2019s Best Club Music of 2021<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
