Tarnation

Brent Spar aka Tarnation (Dennis Kaandorp), born 1975 in the Netherlands started playing housemusic in the beginning of the 90's.

His first contact with SL turntables he had at the age of 13, at his cousins house who played at a local Amsterdam radio station.
That cousin told him how to beatcount en adjust the tempo of the turntables.

And so the first time he had to play in front of a crowd he already knew how to work the decks.
With the age of 16, he had his first gig in a local youthcentre were they locked themselfs in for 48 hours with only turntables and lots of records. But nobody there was a dj or knew how to work the mixer. Dennis stepped up and jumped behind the decks.
And that night he realised this was the thing he was looking for. Playing for people and let them enjoy the music and make them dance.
