Trickkits life story starts in Nijkerk a village near Amersfoort. At the age of 6, little Trickkit (what he still is) was already playing with his dads records. Records from the OJays, Howling Wolf and many more. He bought his first record to mix at the age of 11, at that time the music was Hardcore and the side paths of Hardcore. After a short time he stopped with buying records and mixing. His Dj career looks to be at an end.

After 9 years not buying records or mixing, he buys his first Techno record at the age of Twenty. This was after he got in contact with a drive-in and music rent company (MJFF). Who saw in Swen a Dj who feels what the crowd wants, and therefore would be a good all-round dj to get the crowd dancing. Besides the music technique and all-round Dj job. The company owner saw that Swen had more in him than the skills he performed, en saw that Trickkits interest lays with electronic dance music. Things like Techno, Minimal, Progressive, Club and Groove. So the owner of MJFF bought 2 technics a mixer and two table top players to give Swen the space to praktice his mixing skills and express his love for dance music.

Now he's also exploring the wolrd of producing. With Ableton live & Fruity loops. And sticks all his time in new productions. Productions of a wide variety from techouse to minimal en from minimal to techno with hiphop influences. He's working with a hip-hop producer (who is also upcoming) that call's himself Significant Dutch or Natural . Together they work with some big names in de Dutch hiphop scene but also from France and even America.

Trickkits love lies in the row of Techhouse, techno, deephouse, minimal. But club, groove, house also have his interest. In his record bag youll'd find techno, funky techno, minimal, electro, club, groovy stuff, classics and lots more things you wouldn't expect. However, he built an oeuvre that is without a doubt of a high magnitude: both quality and quantity-wise. Unfortunately, his busy DJ schedule puts a limit on the time he would like to spend in the studio. Yet, he strives for the balance that would satisfy his enormous artistic appetite and potential. His devotion to his dreams and inspirations drives him hopefully safely into the succesfull future.
