About Me

Myspace Layouts by Pimp-My-Profile.com

Jovax was born in January 1988. It was a cold night and he had rather stayed in that hot womb! Unfortunately, he was forced to meet this world and its crazy people. (Yes, you’re one of them!) At the age of twelve, he discovered some old speakers, cd players and an old mixer while looking for interesting stuff in the basement of his grandfather. He got permission to use the equipment and started to collect and buy all kinds of electronic music.After a period of serious training, the first (Bday)-parties were a fact. A few years later, he got the chance to play at some techno-parties along the Flemish Coast. (From House 2 Techno, Night of Techno, Intekligence, Tektastik, B.A.S, …) Although the great experiences, something didn’t feel right about the music… Almost every nice and funky techno record was an old one! People preferred schranz (Boem Boem) and minimal (Tik Tik) nowadays and Jovax didn’t know where to find the funky and clapping grooves he liked the most! It was a depressing period which suddenly ended hearing a 2hour set of Jensen&Bugsy. This music felt so right! Honest, pure jackin’ jazzy Chicago sounds with lots of funky tunes and samples! He got involved in this kind of stuff and with a little help from his friend and part-time-deckbro’ Marbelicious he discovered lots of jackin’ labels and artists! In 2007, Jovax decided to collect some (accessible) electro, electrohouse and tech-house as well; to create more variation in his dj-sets.Spinned Chicago House / Electro at several parties and clubs such as L’Amaral (Bruges), Decadance (Ghent), Jetlags [organised by Bruges’ Young House Movement!] (Entrepot/Kelk/Comma - Bruges), Presidents, Red Nose Party, BK SHUT Down (Broedkasse - De Haan), Anno07 (Entrepot), Jack Ur Body (Kreukel), 3House (Zedelgem), JH Thope (Brugge), ...

Small update

10 minutes video-preview of an electro/electrohouse/techno dj-set; recorded in my studio. It's not as 'underground' as usual, but I wanted to try something different! And I like it! : - ) http:/...
