I used to be a dental technician with a very loud radio. Saturday night was my favorite night of the week, during my visit at the discos I was fascinated by the DJs and their magical non stop mixing of vinyl records. After a long but fruitful discussion with my parents I gave up my daytime job in the dental laboratorium and started to work in a record shop, Finally, I arrived in the eye off the storm. I stopped dancing and started to DJ, it felt like coming home. It took me 2 years to open up my own record label and shop, Basic Beat Records. I bought myself an Atari computer and found my way around in the studio, I learned how to produce records and discovered the nobel art of songwriting. House music exploded, I was on the move, the party became bigger and bigger, Sensation, Dancevalley, Barcelona, Ibiza, New York, and more, much more, been there, done that, good times! I was voted best DJ of the Netherlands and scored two hit records with the band Soulvation which I formed with Jeroen Rietbergen.Today this musical enterprise consist of Erland Galjaard and myself and we keep pushing for more. I’ m currently producing new material in the studio for the project Soulvation and finally for myself and keep expanding my horizon. Slave to the rhythm, in love with progress, thats me!
