Jorick Croes Remix

Jorick Croes began to DJ in The Hague clubs like Silly Symphonies and Paard van Troje at the age of 22, mixing house and techno with European post-industrial electronic body music. He started producing in 2003, creating his own tracks – initially as "Hey Jo". His subsequent productions as "Jorick Croes" are going to help him to take the genre one step further in the near future. Croes has established himself as one of minimal-techno’s unknown innovators, a reputation cemented by his mix CDs. “I’d always wanted to move to Europe,” he says. “I needed somewhere that was inspiring and where there were like-minded musicians and artists, somewhere you could still experiment with music and with life. Holland is so liberal in so many different ways; there’s an amazing club scene, there’s a great development software tech scene, there are so many resources here. ”Croes has sometimes been portrayed as some kind of obscure scientist figure within minimal techno culture, partly because of his innovative use of music technology. Much of his time is taken up by music production and gigs to play anywhere from strong raves to tiny sweatboxes for small amount of people. He says that what he’s seen on his short but wild musical journey suggests that any pronouncement of the death of dance music is seriously premature. He has also done a number of projects which fall well outside the traditional role of the club DJ. Croes talks a lot about experimenting, but it would be incorrect to characterize him purely as some kind of electronic lab technician. Late 2005 Croes started the “Serotonine Drops” project together with Bruno Gets, which hasn’t been without succes. Mid 2006 Croes together with his cousin Kris Croes started the “Double Cross” project, which experiments just bit more with simplicity and minimalism. Late 2007 Croes teamed up with Jaillen, an experienced DJ and also friend, to start the "Divi Divi" Project, which is definitely something to look forward to. Early 2008 Croes teamed up with DiMarco, an experienced DJ and also friend, to start "Croes & DiMarco" taking minimal techno to new experimental levels. Early 2008 he also partnered up with Mesquitas, a uniquely talented young DJ/Producer full of surprises to create "NosDos". He also came in collaboration with Mproductionz, a new production team and soon to be managment and label, to expand the minimal party experience throughout Holland and abroad...
