About Me


Easy (27) started out as a classically trained guitarist entering music academy at the age of 10. After a period of predominantly blues-oriented electric guitar playing he got into electronic music around 1995.Greatly influenced by such labels as French F Communications he started deejaying himself by 1997, evolving from Detroit techno into soulful underground deep house.He met Sike at school and they began producing electronic music, experimenting in different genres at first but then moving steadily in the dnb direction. After a while they started playing out together which led to Easy giving up house music and fully concentrating on drum and bass by the end of 2000.In 2001, Easy joined the breakz.be team and helped create and run the first and largest Belgian dnb community website worthy of the name.After the breakz adventure he teamed up with Woodcarver and Sike in the Orka collective. Together they have been responsable for some of the finest liquid dnb parties Belgium has seen to date. With resident UK artists dj Jubei and SP MC alongside an impressive array of international guests, they have been instrumental in pushing forward the soulful side of dnb in Belgium.Easy graduated as an Audio Engineer from SAE college in 2004, and has been developing his own sound ever since. Collaborations include the Disarm project with Marcas, and, more recently, teaming up with dj Wontime.As a dj, Easy is known for his smooth, soulful and harmonically solid sets, and has built somewhat of a reputation for himself around Belgium. He has performed at venues such as Silo, Petrol, MOD, Tour & Taxis and Happy 6, alongside artists of the likes of Calibre, Marcus Intalex, Artificial Intelligence, Alix Perez, Sabre, DKay & Dj Flight. Radio appearances include Stubru's Switch, Jungle Fever and Fmbssl.The name Harmonix is meant to represent the soulful, musical side of dnb, and some of the smoother solo stuff that's heading your way soon...Enjoy your stay!
