2Times

2Times is an electronic live act with one sound technician and one MC. He mixes and edit pre-programmed loops live on stage so every show is different. Being part of ZooCrew Zoetermeer they are able to perform at ZooCrew parties on which other No-Dex bands have played too.In the mid 90's Ryan Berger started making beats for Headliners with only a Roland MC-303 and a Yamaha SU-10 pocket sampler. When he got his own studio he started buying more synths, effect units and a mixer. Nowadays a lot is done with software but still use synths for certain basslines and stuff.When he discovered Jungle and Drum'n'Bass in 2000 he decided to use his equipment in his own way and came up with the idea to do Live performances instead of DJ-ing. In those days parties were dominated by DJ's which made it hard to get booked. Now live DnB was still kinda new but its growing fast.Ryan formed 2Times and started doing Live shows together with Dj Period and Mc P-Irie. Later on P-irie stopped mc-ing and Ryan got in contact MC Miko and Kosmoz. In the beginning of 2003 Zoocrew started to organise DnB parties in the Boerderij in Zoetermeer and 2Times became a resident act. In 2004 they performed at several party's in Zoetermeer, The Hague, Utrecht, Amsterdam and Venlo. Next to that they did some remixes for FunX Radio and work with Jahva Sound, a Reggae Sound System. In 2006 things started to get a little boring and there was no more inspiration. Since the Beginning of 2008 2Times got back to his roots and started making reggaedubs with a little jungle flavor. Easytunes with heavyweight basslines and some subtle breakbeats are the new ingredients.
