The Story,
I was 13-14 years old when I got in touch with electronic music like hard trance and rave.
I was immediately fascinated by Members of Mayday, Marusha and so on.
My fascination even rose when I had seen a movie of Mayday - Rave Olympia.
I was astonished by the music, the atmosphere, and the lights.
Until now I haven't been able to go out there, but it's my goal to go to Mayday once.
Further on I learned to know the Serious Beats - series and the program Rebeltime on a local radio (Topradio).
Heavenly sounds fell from the sky. When I was 16-17 years old, I went for the first time to a house exhibition in the ICC in Ghent.
There I bought my first vinyls, Dave Clarke - Red 2 (remixes) on the Reload Label and Green velvet - Land Of The Lost (remixes) on Musicman,
although I didn't have a descent vinyl player, only one on a Hifi-installation. On the next house exhibitions in Ghent and Brussels I grabbed again some vinyls.
It was in the fall of 1999 that I bought some material.
Since my budget was tight, I started with a second-hand Jb mixing panel & jb systems CD550. In 2001 I bought 2 Technics SL1210 Mk2's. From then on, the ball kept rolling.
I bought more frequently new materials and new vinyls.
At the moment i'v got a rodec mx240mk2 mixer, 2 technics sl1210mk2, a Korg Koass Pad KP-2 (effect path) and a Jb System CD550.
The first time I performed was at a birthday party some friends of mine held at Cafè Zottegem in Ghent.
From then the fury was released and I wanted more. Since then I played a couple of times at Cafè Zottegem,
a few times at JH t'Stadt in Oudenaarde and JH Jena in Nazareth.
In April 2004 I performed at The Dôme, ....
