By Claire van der Hall:
  
Ille Bitch, also known as Michael von L., crawled out of the Haarlem underground. His contagious enthusiasm and never ending attention for his fans has made him irreplaceable in the Dutch party scene. 
  
It was in 2002 when Ille Bitch first took place at the turntables. His flatmate, a dj known as Greg Martini, invited him to spin a record. It was a revelation for Ille, who soon started saving for his own equipment. In 2004 Ille had saved enough, he bought his first decks and launched his spinning career. He has been successful from the get go. With him a generation of ravers stood up and followed him to the best parties and supported him like he supported them. 

It didn’t take long or the country was infected by the Ille-virus. He found his way to the dj-booths of clubs like Paradiso, 11, Lichtfabriek, Patronaat, Club Stalker, Poema, Tivoli, Effenaar, Club Rembrandt en LVC. There was no stopping when Ille Bitch and fellow-dj De Man Zonder Schaduw decided to spin together. At the same time Ille got residencies at Club Stalker, R3corder, Full Spectrum, Upstruct and Gasten zonder Grenzen. He spread his mix of house-electro-minimal-techno over the country and abroad like ink. 
  
De Man Zonder Schaduw and Ille left a trail of satisfied dancers, lively party people and full clubs behind. After three years they decided to split up, leaving each other with the utmost respect as friends and colleagues. They said goodbye with a tour over the whole country. The last night took place in May 2008 and was a seven hour set in Club Stalker. 
  
But no need to worry about Ille, he’s fine by himself. He is a well known artist in Holland, without a single release.

Balancing life and this music thing.

BIO
Joakim Frithjof has been quietly making his mark in the underground scene. Starting out with a love for Hip-Hop, turntablism, and early House, his musical journey took a new turn when he moved to Amsterdam in 2005, where clubs like Club11 and Trouw shaped his evolving sound. Over the years, he’s played across Amsterdam, hosted his own parties in Utrecht, and even made appearances in cities like Copenhagen, Berlin, and Stockholm.

His style? Hard to pin down. He loves mixing things up, drawing from House, breakbeat, UK Garage, floathouse, rave, and classics. Always keeping it fresh but never forgetting the roots. He’s more about making people move than fitting into any one box.

Beyond DJ’ing, he applies his wide-ranging taste in music to curating playlists for brands and physical spaces. As Music Director at Kollekt.fm and with his own venture, Sonic Curations, he helps create custom playlists and music identities that not only fit the aesthetic but also enhance the atmosphere, leaving behind a lasting audio impression.

Fun Fact: The first CD he ever bought at age 12 was The Prodigy’s The Fat of the Land, a purchase that marked the beginning of a lifelong obsession with music.
