  • Bio

    After a turbulent year in Buenos Aires (Argentina) I've moved back to the Netherlands. The return to my home country fortunatley implies a return to (co)promoting the fckn wckd* nights in Tilburg. More important, it means I will be playing high-quality beats with low frequency basslines again! I picked up deejaying in 2002 at the age of 17. Soon I teamed up with John Doe (Counter Intelligence) and Kj3ld and started the fckn wckd* events at the 013 Pop Centre in Tilburg (The Netherlands). Besides hosting the night, I've always enjoyed playing out to different crowds. Thanks to winning the 2004 Dutch Drum&Bass Talent Award I've had many opportunities to play to many different people at many great locations such as 013, Effenaar, Tivoli, Paard van Troje and Nighttown. To do what I like best: 'spreading the gospel', or should I just say: playing my interpretation of drum&bass. But what is my interpretation of drum&bass? I prefer the deeper side of drum&bass, heavily influenced by dub and minimal techno music. However, I feel that a good set reflects the variety that exists within the drum&bass spectre. From labels such as Signature to Renegade Hardware: every type of tune has it's place in a set. Although I feel tune selection is the most important aspect of deejaying, decent mixing skills are indispensable. I try to give the tunes the attention they deserve. Mixing is not a contest of who can play as many tunes possible in 90 minutes. It's a creative aspect that should not be underestimated. I serve my beats tightly locked and in harmony. Nijmegen (The Netherlands), Spring 2008. >> Favourite Artists: Break, Calibre, Commix, Martyn, MIST, Spirit, Universal Project >> Selected parties where I have played: Dutch Drum&Bass Awards, fckn wckd* (residency), Night of the Drums and Red Zone. >>I've played alongside such as: Aphrodite, Bad Company, John-B, Klute, Limewax, Martyn, The Invaderz and DJ Flight.
