Biografie
Koen started his deejay career in the summer of '04 as a local Dj in a small club at his hometown. He grew up being a kid always listening to rap and hip-hop. It didn't take long before he got into the Belgium clublife. At a young age he got introduced to the early Belgian house scene. At that moment the house scene in Belgium was all about retro house, acid house, old techno and trance, … This came out on record labels like Bonzai Records for example. Eventually this scene disappeared, clubs started to close down and it was time for something new. He started going to places like "Silo" and "Fuse" where he got involved with the underground house music scene. He started playing more underground records and met some friends who had the same passion as him. Since then he's been buying more and more records, and this became and still is his big passion. Untill today he's still digging out his recordcases to find that vinyl that will make u move. After a few years he started making guest appearances at clubs like The Zoo (Hasselt) and Silo (Leuven) for the best House / Techno party's from belgium at that time called Forbidden Fruit and Down_Under. Since then he played alongside and invited quality underground Dj's like;
