About Me

Welcome to my little webspace! Just relax, listen... and have a drink : )
I am not an alcoholic... I am from outer space!!!... And i just had to leave a sign here for my fellow alien friends visiting this solar system. So i simply burried a black monolith on the moon. Anyone passing by will recieve this brief transmission :

"Intergalactic stop. Party planet! This is where you find all the drinks"

DJ Biography / Influences:

At the age of 13 somewhere in the 80's i started listening to electronic body music and industrial. A local radiostation had a great weekly 'electronic' show, and i adored it! So my passion for analogue synthesizers begun. Pretty young aged those days; i had never heard of people like Wendy Carlos, Kraftwerk; synths like Moog and ARP... i simply loved the 'synth' sound. Later on i started listening to easyer poptunes, new wave, (italo)disco and 70's and 80's funk. I always liked 12 inches; with extended instrumental parts, club/dub versions... made for dj's. I had no idea i was going to spin so many 12 inches myself one day. When Belgian New beat and early US/UK House music started to break trough here; i was about 15, the year 1989, i was completely hooked. Clubs like 'Boccaccio' and 'Fifty Five' set the tone around Ghent and visitors came from allover the Benelux and France. From my late 16 i played the local youth club for a while. Lot's of classic disco and funky stuff, some new wave. Later when i got the cash (poor student :/ ) i could buy my own records and started to play what i really wanted: mainly housemusic, and other synthesized cool stuff. Combine these tunes with my early influences(which i haven't forgotten off course!!) and you get my recent day mixture of house, disco, electro(funk) :D ...

Other music:

When discovering the world of fine audio i got hooked on tube amplifiers, but i'm not gonna start here about that! I truly admire the sound of any acoustic instrument as a music lover, it's purity... a jazz trio, a beautifull string ensemble, a mesmerizing voice... As one ages, one grows on music and cherises the past and present.
