About Me

BIO
Dutch house-dj Camiel is playing housemusic for over more than ten years now. At the age of 15 he got fascinated by dancemusic, its endless rhythms and driving energy. At that time it was mainly hiphouse from recordlabels like DJ International and the techno/house-sound of labels like R&S records that caught his attention. The more he got into the music the more he wanted to experience the magic of mixing records. A turntable, tapedeck and a simple mixer were enough to develop the basics of mixing.
A little later Camiel started DJing at a small underground club, soon playing there every Saturday night, learning how to interact with the crowd, learning how to create an upliftin' atmosphere. While developing his skills further on Camiel got himself some better equipment and started to edit records and to produce so called megamixes. A weekly dancemixshow at a pirate radiostation in Belgium followed, as also did two releases for Antler Subway, one of Belgiums leading independent record labels at that time.
In 1992 Camiel moved from the south of the Netherlands to Nijmegen in the east. He worked his way up in the local scene and became resident at the famous Club Extravaganza parties. Inspired by dj's like Derrick Carter and Kevin Saunderson and music from recordlabels like Prescription, Cajual and Planet E, Camiel developed more and more his own style. Today his style still is rooted in Chicago en Detroit housemusic, incorporating music from European labels like Playhouse, Music for Freaks and Paperecordings.
However funky housemusic undoubtably is Camiel's trademark, probably most important is his ability to stay in touch with the crowd, to respond to the atmosphere and to anticipate by choosing the right record for the right moment. That's what DJing is about in Camiel's opinion. This ability and attitude while staying true to real housemusic at the same time has resulted in numerous dj bookings over the years. This has brought Camiel to many clubs, parties and festivals, ranging from small underground parties in Nijmegen/NL to the beaches of Egypt (see references below).
During those events Camiel has shared the decks with djs like Kevin Saunderson, D'Julz, Justin Harris, Luke Solomon, Jef K, Koenie, Geoffroy, Sven van Hees, Ame, Charles Webster, Dimitri, Swayzak, Tony Senghore, Michel de Hey, Nuno dos Santos, Miss Monica, Quinten de Rozario, Francesco Pico, Joost van Bellen, Steve Cop, Wimpy, Jackmate, Ronald Molendijk, 100% Isis, Victor Coral, Stephanie, Steve Rachmad, and many others. In addition to DJing Camiel has contributed to art performances and fashion shows. From 2001 - 2005 he's also worked for a chain of three indepent recordshops (www.Waaghals.com) where he was in charge of selecting and purchasing new housemusic releases from the dancemusic distributors every week.
At this very moment Camiel's busy in the studio producing housemusic together with studio partner Ties van der Linden. First release was a remix for Dutch recordlabel Fingers Ltd (2005) and new releases will see light somewhere in the near future and will be featured on this virtual space as well :)
