KING & COUSIN

About Me

It all started in the summer of 2006 when Peter & Adriaan bought their first turntables & mixer. Their musical backgrounds were completely different: Adriaan was a classically schooled pianist, and also a fanatical jazz listener, while Peter rather preferred Trash Metal and was into the Hardcore scene.
Until 2008 they weren’t more than 2 bedroom dj’s who played a few times on small private parties but they decided to team-up. Since then things are going fast! In May 2008 Peter was selected for the pioneer pro dj contest and Adriaan gained himself a spot at Café Capital by being one of the winners of a mixtape contest of Silenced in collaboration with the Belgian national radio station Studio Brussel. In February 2009 they decided to change their DJ-name and they became: KING & COUSIN.
In the meantime they played a lot in Leuven (STUKcafé, Rumba, Musicafé, Machine) but also at Café Capital (Antwerp), Hotel Bloom (Brussel) and many other venues.. One of their mixtapes was even broadcasted on Pure FM in Cosy Mozzy’s radioshow ‘Dirty File’
They both are vinyl collectors and in those 3 years they managed to get a lot of old school rarities and fresh 80’s records. Their dj-sets are a blend of 80’s synthpop, italodisco, cosmic balearic beats, chicago house, new disco & electro tunes and even melodic Detroit techno & soulful deep house.
Their objectives are very clear, they just want to play their favourite tunes as much as possible and everywhere they can. Don’t expect noisy rave records or a set full of mash-ups but an original dj-set with vinyl records!
