About Me



>>> DNB OFF!CE website <<<
...It all started for me in the beginning of this millenium. Studying in Leuven got me in touch Spastik, one of the leading figures behind radio scorpio, Belgiums only alternative radio station. He showed me many different new styles of music and encouraged me to go out and search for the music that is my own, and to do something more with it; That music was and still is the jungle sound!!

Winter came, and along with it an old manually controlled technics, one Gemini 500 and a 4th hand mixer. Shangri , Imvamex & myself locked ourselves in with a stack of records and founded OFF!CE. For months and months we pretty much spent all our time either buying, playing or listening to dnb and jungle and when spring came OFF!CE went public with the first party: you're a freak

Months and years went by, playing on and organising numerous events across the country, trying to define the style that is OFF!CE. 04 /05 is when shit really kicked off. Not only as promoters, throwing parties every 3 months, but also as a dj collective. Like that off!ce got invited to play at a Badmood.net party in Lisbon,Portugal, I played at one of the REACTIV events in Amsterdam as wel as many different events in Belgium like Laundry Day, Radar, Therapy Sessions, Stealth Bombers, Breakdown, Steam XL, Dedkob cd release, Xprmntl, Mekitburn (www.mekitburn.be), Wasted, Boups NYE and venues such as Waagnatie, Hof Ter Loo, Silo, M.O.D., Decadance, Minus 1, Structure Beton, KultuurKaffee... and it keeps on growing bigger and stronger.

When it comes to what style I spin pretty much anything with the right vibe, ranging from old skoolio rave stuff, through jungle to drumnbass, seasoned with some scratching and big dick tricks. I'm not so much into the whole labeling of subgenres, if the tune sounds right it just has to be played!!!

Recently I started a little nameless sideproject, where I mix pretty much anything in my collection together, ranging from DnB to dubstep & breaks, over to house and techno, and some hiphop,ragga and whatnot...With this project I won the '45toeren' dj battle, more info about this at www.45toeren.be .But words are just words, so check it out for yourself at one of the parties Ez!!
