Always surrounded by world music like Latin, Rock, Jazz but also Hip Hop and electronic music like Trance. Rutger began his musical journey by playing a game called 'Music 2000' on the Playstation where he got to create music, sounded like African music with bongos and congas. Later on he found love for House music because of his uncle DJ DARIK (Erik Damwijk) who showed him the example. Unfortunately his uncle died at a very young age which left Rutger and his family with a whole they couldn't fill. Rutger decided ti reach in his unlce's footsteps and started practicing the art of DJ'ing and so his cousin Dennis helped him take his baby steps. It didn't take long before Rutger started playing in clubs amoung good friend JMP, Renco & DJ Slick.
