Alec started his clubwarming career somewhere around the early 90's and has headlined ever since at almost every major club, festival and basement after-party in Belgium.

Originated from Antwerp he's probably one of the most adaptable DJ's around. Driven by passion and obsession, various types of music has seen a very rich musical history unfold during his long and varied career.

His ability to fuse together seemingly swiftly vocal and progressive influences is loved by his connected fan base. He's talented with a keen understanding for the needs of the dancefloor and the universal laws of housemusic.

Alec's DJ sets reflect his years of vinyl addiction bringing an encyclopedic knowledge, finely-honed skills and an irrepressible enthusiasm to the turntables, effortlessly blending quality deep and techhouse tunes and everything around and in-between to create an irresistibly sexy party groove.

After many residencies of several years mostly playing two or more sets a night in different clubs across the country he really made name in the Belgian profound music scene. He quickly became an overnight and daily phenomenon with his legendary Sunday night and monday morning sessions at Belgiums most famous after club, Creamm.

The musical identity of Creamm is based around his weekly residency. His late night, early morning sets are legendary - challenging, tripped out, quirky and never the same - an ever-changing soundtrack that has defined the musical identity of Belgium famous underground club. 

This was the moment he decided to spread the succes and collaborated alongside Tofke and Younes to create "The Creamminals" 

We won’t bore you all with a year by year history of what happened next and how they ended up with a name like "The Creamminals" as rumour and speculation are far more interesting.

In an effort to give something back to the community he teamed up with his partner in crime Tofke to manage there own record label called "Creamminal Records" a massive launch pad for some of the upcomming talents of the scene today.

He's been at it a for a while, but there's the sense that this talented DJ turns over a new chapter in his career.

His ability to command a dance floor, playing extended sets around Belgiums greatest clubs to a sweat drenched crowd is what drives him to do it over and over again..

It is warm, upbeat, energetic and most of all, irresistible: The Egbert-sound. Egbert VanderGugten is an ordinary Dutch guy, except for the fact that he is THE Dutch techno-act at this moment. In his loft in Rotterdam, Egbert produces one great dance floor track after another. However, no dance floor can hear it. The only witness to the magic he creates are the four walls of his loft until the Dutch techno legend Secret Cinema (Jeroen Verheij) finds him online. Verheij pulls Egbert out of his loft and gives him, at age 20, a stage to perform on and a record label. It turned out to be the start of an international victory tour. Having hardly recovered from his first two releases in the Netherlands, Sven Väth calls from Frankfurt: ‘Can Egbert deliver a track for Cocoon, stat.’ Vreugdevuur becomes one of the most prominent releases of 2009 and after that things go fast. Really fast. The loft quickly becomes history when Egbert closes the main stage of Time Warp, crushes Awakenings for no less than a dozen times in a couple years and graces Club Womb in Tokyo. Additionally, he is a frequent guest in Cape Town, Budapest, Ibiza, Melbourne and Singapore… Not bad for a guy who before his first release only flew in a plane once. But understand that wherever Egbert comes, all (let me repeat: ALL) hands will go up, and they will stay there. 

“Very proud of him to be the youngest Dutch techno-hero bringing quality music to
dance floors across the globe” - Rocco Veenboer, Awakenings

Egbert sets a new standard when he singlehandedly performs for 6 hours straight in a sold out club Melkweg in Amsterdam. The question is: what is someone who achieved so much in such a short period of time going to do next? No worries. Aside from the fact that he still has a countless amount of tracks waiting to see the world (thank you, loft), Egberts’ ambition and energy are limitless.

The entire world is his next stop.
