Bas Loubert

____________________________________________________________ ____ In 1979, at the age of 14, Bas was one of the guys, who set up a youth society in a small village in the province of Zeeland, The Netherlands. It was more a start of a kind of disco for youth from the neighbourhood and beyond. Bas played there for the first time as a DJ. Later he moved to the city of Vlissingen, and there he started to play in various Clubs.In 1982 he was asked to become resident of a Belgium radiostation, called Radio Saturnus in the city of Maldegem. This was a nightprogram, which attracted a lot of listeners from Belgium and the southwest part of The Netherlands. Radio Saturnus owned at that time a former cinema, which was converted and decorated into a Club. Bas played there as resident at sunday afternoons with great success.In 1983 to 1985, he became resident DJ in the weekends in a Club called "De Hooizolder", near the village of Westkapelle in the province of Zeeland. The Club could offer space for about 1200 people, and was very popular in summertime among young tourists, which spent their holidays in the vicinity. Of course local people visited the Club as well. In that period, the owners sponsored a new setup Radio Station called: Radio Popular in Belgium. It aimed basically on listerners of the southwest province of The Netherlands. On saturday evenings from 20.00 untill 22.00, Bas was presenting a radioshow called Discotime, and played the latest dancehits as a warmingup for the audience for that night in the Clubs of the southwest. In December 1985, Bas had to quit as a DJ, because he got a fulltime job in a complete different business, and unfortunally, DJ'ing could not be combined with this new challenge. But the interest for music remained to be alive.In 2002, Bas started to visit well known Clubs of the Netherlands in the cities of Rotterdam, Amsterdam, The Hague and Utrecht, being one of the crowd. In Rotterdam, one Club in particular was his favorite, called Club Revolution. The music outthere was really awesome. In that period he decided to come back in DJ business as a hobby. He decided to use the name Solar Ray, but changed this back lately to his own original given name. Bas occasionally played in Revolution, and the passion for DJ'ing became an important part of his life again. He played together with well known DJ's as Peter Gelderblom, Rene Amesz, DJ Jose, Louis Fortes, to name a few.In this period, Bas developed a wide spectrum of music styles, which he plays in his DJ sets. It varies from Club House, to Tribal House, to Iberican House, to Latin House, and even Electro-and Progressive House. He can combine these styles perfectly into one DJ set, because he uses the nearest neighbour soundtracks to achieve that.In the mean time, Bas changed in 2006 to another employer in his primairy job, which gave him more availability to perform as a DJ. Now these days, he sometimes also plays abroad in cities as Shanghai, China, and Galati in Romania. And there are more countries ahead to come. In 2005, Bas also started to produce tracks. "Let the music play 2008" , has been officially released recently. The other 3 tracks are also available to listen to in the player in his MySpace. At this very moment, Bas has been adopted by the " Addictive Tour Radioshow " at the island of Mauritius in the Indian Ocean. At least one DJ set a month will be broadcasted on the internet radiostation of the Addictive Tour on a friday evening. Check out the website: www.addictivetour.com. Bas would like to take the opportunity to give very special thanks to his girlfriend and partner José, who gives him the space and support to make him achieve and perform this awesome hobby of him.
