dj Fusion

The Past:
Most precisely he started in 1992 listening to Steve Mason's radioshow on BFBS (British Forces Broadcasting Services) but also to the dutch radio show For Those Who Like To Groove with radiohost Robin Albers. Visiting London on a regular basis enabled him to listen to: Grooverider & Fabio (Rage), Goldie & Doc Scott (Metalheadz Sunday Sessions), Ltj Bukem & Peshay (Speed) but also acquired a versatile record collection from various UK recordshops such as: Section5, Unity, Black Market, Lucky Spin and Record Exchange. While commercial pop music dominated the charts of the dutch venues and only a very small selection of clubs invited DnB dj's in the Western part of the Netherlands, Fusion and co decided to produce the first full Jungle/DnB event in the Eastern part of the Netherlands in the year 1993. Soon after he was asked to be the resident of the dutch club Atak, an eclectic openminded non commercial dance temple where he played for more than 5 years, and influenced a whole new generation of electronic music addicts.
Fusion explaines:
"I had the chance to play different kind of musical styles in one dj set, playing Breakbeat, Jungle Tekno, Drum and Bass all at once. The parties back in the days had a very unique vibe, at least since the XXIst Century when the venues became so musically specialized and their sounds so repetitive. Untill this day i am still proud to have developed and most importantly contributed my part to the dutch Jungle & DnB sound!"
The Present:
After 15 years Fusion still upholds the Drum and Bass scene with many performances and most important meeting like minded people all over the world! The large musical background he acquired during these 15 years, (including working for a dutch DnB record distributor as a sales & buyer person) enabled him to play many diverse Drum & Bass sets wich can be described as the "Fusion" sound. His agenda still includes the best clubs, parties and festivals, including cities like: London (UK), Prague (Czech Republik), Gdansk (Poland), Ghent & Leuven (Belgium) and Tel Aviv (Israel). He co-organised dutch tours for UK DnB artist & supported many well known dutch & foreign DnB organisations wich included performing alongside: Doc Scott, Optical, C4C, Matrix, Klute, The Insiders but also for non Drum 'n Bass acts like Pete Philly & Perquisite and Kubus & Bang Bang wich proves he can easily adapt to versatile audiences. Nowadays he works as an export manager for the Clone Record label and organises the bi-monthly Tempo events together with it's residents.
The Future:
Setting up his own independent Tempo Records label with his productions in co-production with Deepflow and others.
