this short review by Norman Darwen was published in BLUES IN THE SOUTH (UK):
B&T 969 – All The Way Down – ElectroBluesSociety feat Jan Hidding.
Another download single from this Dutch outfit with singer Jan Hidding. ‘All The Way Down’ runs to four and a half minutes, with Jan’s big, deep voice backed by a riffing guitar, bass, drums, blues harp and occasional electronic noises. The song itself is a soulful, blues ballad, a little reminiscent of the mid-60s but certainly contemporary, though the electronics add to the track rather than detract from it. Do try to give it a listen!
today Black and Tan Records released

Today we released our new single on Black and Tan Records
B&T 966 – Will The Circle be Unbroken – ElectroBluesSociety feat Roscoe Chenier
The original acapella recording of this old gospel tune was done by Roscoe Chenier and released on Black and Tan Records in 2006. On this single we added a new musical background to Roscoe’s voice. Jan had the luck to work with Roscoe on several releases and tours in Europe from 1993 on and he certainly was one of the nicest guys to work with. Unfortunately Roscoe died (far too soon) in February 2013.
The track is released on Black and Tan Records and will be digital only. This means it will be available on all the download and streaming platforms. Here are the links to a few popular ones.
Im Im neuen „Mais 12“, gab es von der „Electrobluessociety“ jede Menge intelligent genutzte Soundtechnik, die immer wieder Staunen machte und einen dichten, mal raffiniert verfremdeten und mal orchestral vervielfältigten Blues erzeugte.
De ElectroBluesSociety is een stel heren die elektronica mengen met het geluid van echte instrumenten. Deze heren zijn Jasper Mortier (bas, drums) en Jan Mittendorp (gitaar, elektronica). Beiden hebben ruime ervaring in de blues en hebben het podium gedeeld met mensen als Preston Shannon, Philip Walker, Paul Oscher, Boo Boo Davis en Byther Smith om er maar een paar te noemen. In mei doken zij de studio in met harmonicavirtuoos Kim Snelten en het resultaat hiervan is nu als single “Duck” verkrijgbaar. Het is een instrumentaal nummer dat duidelijk bouwt op elektronica. Niets voor bluespuristen, zou je zeggen. Maar in dit geval wordt het goed ingezet en is het als een van de gebruikte instrumenten hoorbaar. Het is een lekker swingend nummer, waarbij vooral de harmonica van Snelten indruk maakt.
Here is a new video from us recorded live May 2017 in our rehearsel room in Vorden (Netherlands). We are using vocal parts from Electric Chair Blues by Guitar Welch. For handling the camera’s we had assistance from Peter Tump.
