| Band Members | Dj MNO (realname Menno) was born and raised in Amsterdam.
The first time he got in contact with electronic music was probably about two decades ago when he listened to electric boogie and breakdance compilations including artists like Man Parrish and Grandmaster Flash. Music he still listens to.
But especially all the years that he is working at the local recordshop Concerto his musical taste was developed. Next to that he ‘worked’ for the pirate radio station Patapoe together with some friends producing a program called Psychozers.
Which was also their dj alias for a while, but thats history now.
As a dj his musical interests include raw electro, dirty disco, italo, 80s’, acid, breakbeat, tekno, psychedelic trance and lots of more. But dont worry: he also dislikes a lot.
His purpose is trying to combine these styles but sometimes he just sticks to just one of them. He played at local venues like Studio 80, OT 301, Ship Of Fools, Pakhuis Wilhelmina, The Winston, Flex Bar and some Legalize events. In 2004 and 2005 he even played abroad at his Irish friends Bass Entertainment parties in Dublin and Cork.
Some big events in 2006 were playing at Mysteryland on the Studio 80 stage and at the Robodock festival. At the end of 2006 he played at the Azart, Ship Of Fools in Tarragona, Spain. But one of his favorites of that year was playing a seven our set at the Use The Force party at a squatted location. Next to that he played on regular basis at the Robotrock nights, the Dirty Disco parties at Studio 80 and he became a resident dj for Basserk.
