Son of 8-Bits ()
Born in 1982, according to my mom I was able to put a needle on the record before I could speak.
My love of music was clear. At 8 I was collecting CDs and records. No children’s TV soundtracks either! But techno and house compilations and mix
albums. The music kept getting faster and harder and that’s how I found techno, and myself. Because it wasn’t just hard or dark, but also had softer edges, bright
spots and silver linings. A deep introspect that can, most of the times, only be found in electronic music genres like techno, electro or drum & bass and jungle.
In 1999 I started making my tracks in a very basic DAW called Music and later Music 2000 for Sony Playstation. In 2003 I had my first steady job and bought turntables and a DJ mixer with my first salary. The rest, as they say, is history. My first parties were in my hometown, Utrecht, at house and garden parties. Later a few clubs. Until I started studying music production in Leeuwarden, where I played the local venues and in the nearby city of Groningen. In 2010 I held a summer residency in Japan at a local club in Kobe and played some other bars and music cafes in Kobe and Osaka.
In 2016 me and a friend organized 2 small festivals for a maximum of 150 people, both sold out. And in the meantime plenty of illegal raves around Utrecht, where moved back to. In 2018 and 2019 I was lucky to be able to join the kind people of Fuerteventura for 2 parties, both in the middle of the desert.
