About Me

Bart Skils's career started in 1995 when he started working for the classic label and recordshop Outland Records. First playing in Amsterdam's legendary Mazzo club he became resident with his weekly VOLTT nights. Known for his smooth mixing and dynamic sets he steadily developed his own typical deep driving techno style. Nowadays he is considered to be part of the so called 2nd generation of Dutch techno that include artists like 2000 and One, Shinedoe, Joris Voorn/Rejected and Polder. His style ranges from rhythmic deep techno to minimal electronics, always funky and danceable.He is also one of the founders and host of the highly respected VOLTT, Traffic and Static events, all situated in Amsterdam. Traffic is based at the famous Melkweg venue and focuses on the classic techno sound while his VOLTT and Static events, based in Dutch poptempel Paradiso and Club 11, are more deep and smooth. With regular appearances from artists like Luciano, Richie Hawtin, Marco Carola and Ricardo Villalobos the Traffic, Static and VOLTT nights are seen as one of the leading club nights around with a great fan base and good atmosphere.On the production level Bart has been active releasing on Pure Plastic (London) and together with his production partner Anton Pieete as District One on 100% Pure (Amsterdam). Both labels have a long history and reached classic status through the years releasing artists like 2000 And One, Deetron, Derrick May, Joris Voorn/Rejected, Polder, Adam Beyer, Shinedoe, Mark Broom Steve Rachmad and Baby Ford. Their typical deep driving production style is charted and played by key players like Guido Schneider, Luciano, Adam Beyer, Deep Dish, Villalobos, Loco Dice, Sven Vath, Mathew Dear, Richie Hawtin and Dominik Eulberg to name a few.With his residencies in clubs like Paradiso, Club 11 and Melkweg alongside regular gigs at major clubs and dance events like Awakenings, Berghain, Cocoon, Lowlands, Dance Valley, Extrema and 10 Days Off he's built himself a strong solid reputation for quality music.More info at: www.bartskils.com www.myspace.com/bartskils www.voltt.com www.traffic.cd www.staticnights.com
