about

Which started as tribute to one of the greatest instrumental hip-hop albums slowly evolved in a devastating breakup record:

Stepbacks & Setbacks shows Thijsenterprise (Reinier Thijs) his love for old school hip-hop with soul and jazz samples, dusty breaks and raw chops. Started in 2015 in Barcelona, the A-side is inspired by the city and dedicated to Dilla's Donuts, while the B-side deals with much more personal issues: cheating, heartbreak and solitude. This second part was made in Amsterdam during darker days, in the first half of 2017.

Stepbacks & Setbacks is Thijsenterprise first album as a solo artist, after releasing Je Hebt De Boem En De Klap with the 2-Two Legged Dogs earlier in 2018.

This album is in many ways more than just a beat tape.

'The samples in the last sixteen tracks do get a bit moodier and darker, but it doesn’t get too heavy. Stepbacks & Setbacks still makes for an enjoyable listening experience from front to back. Because, after all, setbacks are good moments to step up.' (The Findmag)

'Barcelona-based beatmaker Thijsenterprise drops mammoth beat tape.' (Sampleface)
