Born in 1973 in The Hague - Netherlands, Erwin started his carreer apparently when he was 3 years old (!)
At that age he was playing behind an old piano from his grandpa wich ended up into several keys smashed off the thing!
After playing some notes, he raised himself up onto (!) the piano, took a burning cigar out of an ashtray, from his grandpa who was
standing in the kitchen with his daughter. Pounding, jumping and smashing on the piano, Erwin slipped and fell, hitting
his eyebraw on a sharp point of a table, leaving a nasty scar above his eye - maybe his Hardcore era already had been born?
His style has always been rough, hard, extreme and controverse. That's why he loved the vinyls of the vicious Ruffneck-label at that time.
Most of the time you could find him at his local record-store 'Stad Den Haag-records' where he bought a lot of vinyl every single week,
and given by a lot of people he went by the name of 'the hardest DJ of The Hague'. Besides his spinning qualities he still wanted to produce his
own tracks and after a big investment in good equipment for his studio, he went producing on a more proffesional level, wich ended up into
a first demo. Of course his interests went out to Ruffneck-records, so he decided to sent the demo to its wellknown recordcompany Cardiac Music.
But he saw DJ Ruffneck (Patrick v. Kerckhoven) was about to spin at a rave near The Hague, so he decided to give his demo there.
At that rave, still deciding what was best for his future: to spin or to produce, he finally gave his demo to Patrick and after a couple of days he got
a call from Cardiac Music-manager Andrea v.d Rhee wich informed him that his demo was approved and they wanted to make an appointment.
At that point his carreer started to go way up and running!
And than he managed to produce his first album: 'Enemy Of The State'
From that point he placed his style of music up the charts every single time. Hits like: Human Experiments, Language Of Rhythm, Desolate One,
etc. etc were constantly licensed for dozens of CD's. The catalognumber G64 in all it's aspects and success was a happening Erwin never could
have dreamed off! Also his DJ-bookings went berzerk. Every single weekend he was booked and he was making a great reputation in the scene.
Nowadays, Nosferatu can be found every weekend spinning at raves (his schedule doesn't lie), infecting everybody with the vicious Enzyme-virus
and still he does that with great enthousiasm and lots of passion. Also a new location of his studio has been a fact. 66m2 studio, office and
gamecorner (!) are stationed near the location of his good friends and collegues Endymion.
He played in countries like, U.K./Scotland (Newcastle, Edinburgh), Italy (Rimini, Milan, Rome), Spain (Lloret De Mar, Blanes, Barcelona and more),
Germany (Köln, München, Dortmund, and more), Switserland (Basel and more), and offcourse The Netherlands where he spins in every city where
possible! Unfortunately, due to his fear of flying and air-sickness his capabilities to go further more around the globe has been limited; he gets
bookings for the U.S., Russia, Australia and last time even a booking for Venezuela (!)... It goes without saying that he defies the fact that he cannot
accept those bookings at all.
But for now, you can notice him every weekend on stage anywere in Holland!
"...live your life how you want it to live, yet keep it alive!..."
