Biografie
·Born and raised in Amsterdam.
I started to listen to music seriously when I was around 6 years old. I listened to the pirate radio a lot and recorded the tracks I liked on a little cassetterecorder and cutted of the djvoice.That's how it all started. I started to collect records in an obsessive way.My granddad bought me my first Jimi Hendrix record and from that moment on my interst in underground music started I was around 8 years old then. At my 14th birthday I got my first guitar from my parents.I studied guitar solid for about 15 years. In 1985 I did a producers-course and my interest in studiowork started.
After playing guitar in a succesfull house-project Mad Doc 20/20(lead by Norbert Mannaert) between 1990-1993 I was infected by the computerbased production virus.In 1994 I bought my own studio. My first record got out in 1992 and was produced in the studio of one of the members of Mad Doc named The Prophet(aka Dov Elkabas)who became member of the legendary Dream Team. Then a serious carreer kicked off around 1994-1998 in the psi-trance area of dance including playing big rave-venues under the name Metal Spark together with Lorenzo Zoeter(aka Sibilant) and DJ Lucas.I also had a solocarreer during that period under the names Syrinx, Hypercycle(with Frans Dordregter) and Microdome(with Ramon Sterman)
Then a search of new areas of music started resulting in some remixes(Ibiza-Style) for the Dutch band Zuco 103 and a compilation only track with Willem Heetebrij and Marusjka Sistermans under the name PMW. In 2006 I had an encounter with minimal techno on an outside party in Amsterdam and it struck me. I did 2 years of studying this music with the help of Riley Reinhold(Director of Traum Schallplatten) and Patrice Baumel(Trapez,GetPhysical).Lorenzo Zoeter helped me on the soundside.That resulted in a demo in 2008 which was picked up by Milanel of Ktlxmey Recordings(Miami, USA) and got released on his label and was supported by Wehbba, Patrice Baumel and Technasia and ended up on quite a lot of radio and dj-playlists.At the moment I am experimenting mixing vocals to instrumental minimal techno tracks and doing remixes for songwriterduo Willem Heetebrij and Ben Lutam. I am also co-producing a new EP with an old companion named Gino Lightner important founder of the Amsterdam techno scene.I picked up djing again.I am playing in various venues in Amsterdam and the 3rd and 4th of September 2011 I play on the Insound Minimal Music Festival in Altea, Spain.
