BIOGRAPHY

As a kid I always liked music, and also to play with my dad's stereo (he didn't like it at al, but that's a different story ;) My dad played a lot of Queen and that kind of music, but I personally was interested in house music like 2 unlimited, and 2 brothers on the 4th floor when I got a bit older. Somehow I was looking for something harder at the age of 13, and I switched over to Hardrock with favorite bands like Iron Maiden, Metallica and Megadeath, but still listened to house music sometimes. At the age of 16 my eyes fell on a new compilation cd in the record stores: Thunderdome was born, and I really liked it from the first time I heard it. This was the sound I really enjoyed, the perfect crossover : House (which I liked from the beginning) and the hard and raw sounds I liked from Hardrock. Hardcore was perfect for me, and at that age I already played at some birthday party's as a "dj". (just playing some Top 40 tunes from 7" vinyl) I really liked it , but it never got serious. A few years later I only had two cd-players (without pitch) and a very old mix-table, and had to find two tracks with the same bpm, and then I mixed them over and over again. You can imagine that it became pretty boring soon, and my parents went totally nuts. So I stopped doing that, and then the moment came that I left the parental house. When I had my own apartment at the age of 21 a friend decided to put his turntables (Gemini - belt drive) here together with some records, because he didn't have the space at home anymore. And then I really got interested in playing records, and practiced a lot, and even bought his set of turntables after a while. Then a few friends started a organization (Foxs Hardcore) and asked me to play a opening 3 hour set together with a friend on the first Bone Attack in The Subway (Tilburg). I learned that these turntables (Technics off course) where a hell of a lot different from the ones I got. So after a few years I decided that I could not learn anything with the turntables I had at that time, and switched over to Technics. Then it became more serious for me, because I knew that I had the skills to put a nice hardcore-set together, and again practiced a lot. I think you could say that I became a "dj", when I played on that first Bone Attack which was held on the 2nd of October 1999...The more serious bookings did come a bit later though around 2002. These are just some of the party's i performed at: - Thunderdome 2005 (mainstage) - Nature one - Thunderdome area - 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007 & 2009!!! - Q-base - Thunderdome area 2006. - Outblast - The b-day edition 2008. - Megarave - 10 Years. - Slaves to the rave - Reflect's b-day edition. - Overload presents; Enzyme. - Mental mayhem (Zino) - Limo invites (Poema) - Raveland - Outdoor festival And many others... I also want to release some serious hardcore in the time to come. The studio is currently expanding, and the tracks are getting better quality wise...:) Keep you posted! Yuri
