Mike Carpenter

He always had a huge interest in music. He first got into contact with music when he heard and saw his father playing the drums. It was mostly rock at that time. As he grew older he got more interested in electronic music and more specific in DJ-ing. At the age of 15 he bought a little secondhand mixer and started mixing with only CDs. Later he switched to vinyl. He received the highest score at Top Radio's DJ contest in 1999 and started playing on Sunday at "Karrewiel" club in Hoeselt. His style was more retro and jumpstyle. He became one of the regular DJs at house parties in the neigbourhood. With the opening (2001) of club 'Cube' (Ex-Ypsilon) he got the opportunity to get his first real residency. Surely he couldn't refuse that. But after a short year this ended because his harder style didn't match with the concept of the club. He played some guest sets in the following months. Nowadays he still plays at house parties, but his styled has evolved into minimal, techno, tech house.
