DOPPELDEKKER was a trumpet player as a kid, playing in a 50 headed orchestra for about his entire childhood. Extreme sports took over at the age of twelve, and there was a ten years break in his musical life, apart from some dj-ing at clubs in town at rather young ages. Grew up in a small town, found out it was too much routine and moved to the city to find some more permanent chaos. Found it, partially.
Lived in Amsterdam for about a year, qualified at SAE institute as a multimedia producer with 84%, and threw himself into the Belgian graphic scene, after doing a few social projects as a teacher in Amsterdam. Back in Belgium, worked as an art director on design stuff for Radio Klara, Pricewaterhouse Coopers, DHL, Fortis, Makro, Rumba&co, Depot concerts, the city of Brussels, Telesaurus, White Night, Silenced music, the city of Louvain, Machine, Silo, La rocca and other clubs, while providing design for hundreds or maybe thousands of small gigs.
DOPPELDEKKER is also an electronic artist, working with mood rather than guidlines.
He has played alongside Feindbild, Milanese, VEX’D, Snowden, Transit, ABB, Joshua, Deacoy, Sasha Appel, Thorsten Feld, Sylvie Marks, Hal9ooo, among others. Performing realtime impro hardware sets was the only thing he did untill now.
Expression and reaction is what it’s all about in his musical mindset.
Just recently he began a new project with Dan Droff (the founder of silenced European Music community).
They are neighbours, and all of a sudden got a musical spark to work together more often. The project is still building up, but a few tracks are already on the player above.
MACHINE club is also a part of his life, as he went along with the blood, sweat and tears when the club was founded last year. 3 friends are running it now, with him as their home designer/advisor and close friend. Part of the team that handles the everyday chaos it takes to promote talent. With pleasure that is.
His design company is called UBERTIGHT, and runs like a train.
