Througout decades of music, he used to work with renowned labels such as Kne’ Deep Records and DJAX Up Beats. Providing mastering, production and remixes for labels, all the while building his repertoire of twisted pristine sounds. 
Besides, Never one to rest on his laurels, he was also performing across Europe, South America and North America, spreading his blistering Techno from intimate local clubs to big festivals such as Love Parade in Germany, ADE and many more.

@comradewinston1984 could not have wished for better soil to grow as a DJ. The scene in his hometown of Nijmegen, located in the eastern part of the Netherlands, has given him ample opportunities to hone his skills. 

Now based in Amsterdam, his sound has caught the ear of many music enthusiasts, dancers and promotors. Fast mixing techniques and a taste for old school records from the 90’s with real groove and funk have achieved mayhem on many dance floors and have given him a strong reputation within the techno community. These abilities at the decks have earned him a position as a steady player at the infamous @reaktorevents parties as well as a residency at Operator Radio. 

His own imprint Comradery is in the making – a promise to dust off classic grooves and bring back the sound of a forgotten era. With no signs of slowing down, Comrade is ready to bring the past into the future.

C’est cet éclectisme que nous voulons vous transmettre par le prisme de nos invités.
Après un panel de podcasts au rythme rapide, c’est aujourd’hui à notre cher ami et artiste Andres Komatsu de nous montrer une autre forme d’intensité. Venant tout juste de sortir son dernier EP « Static Advice » sur le label mexicain NUFF music, il est co-fondateur du récent collectif Slug Rave, dédié aux musiques lentes, dont la première s’est déroulée nulle part ailleurs qu’à la Station (Paris). Andres nous a proposé un podcast à la sélection instinctive, qui mélange Down tempo, slow techno et slow EBM. Une heure de voyage mental et rythmé pour notre plus grand plaisir.
