The story of Relativ starts at a supermarket in Utrecht, Holland. It was here the former Buurman & Buurman duo, Luiz and Tim, met while both working there. Their mutual love for electronic music is what brought them together and what has kept them together ever since.  At that time, around 10 years ago, Luiz was already dj-ing; something Tim had always wanted to do as well. So Luiz taught him how to.  

And while mastering these skills, the two hit it off like a house on fire and decided to form a dj-duo (Buurman & Buurman).   

From then on, not only would they regularly play at clubs like Basis (Utrecht) and Chicago Social Club (Amsterdam), but Luiz and Tim were already producing their own tracks too. Their first release ‘1970’, which came out in May 2014 on Armada Music, was an instant Soundcloud hit. The track opened up doors for the duo, getting them residencies with Verknipt and Nachtcollege, two well-known organizations in Holland.  In the summer of 2016 the two played at festivals like Lakedance, Wish Outdoor, Dance Valley and Verknipt Festival every weekend.  
The biggest achievement at that time in 2017 was their debut on STRAF_WERK Festival, something they dreamed of for a long time. 

In these 5 years of playing together as Buurman & Buurman the two have evolved and learned a lot about the business they work in. Slowly everything became more serious. Hence the new artist name ‘Relativ’, which was adopted earlier in 2017. Even though the moniker Buurman & Buurman paved the way for Luiz and Tim and had a very positive effect on their career, it was time for the next step.  

The sound of Relativ has developed into a more timeless sound, dj-wise as well as production-wise. As for productions, their first track was released by Max Chapman’s label Resonance Records at the start of September 2017. After that the duo released several tracks and ep’s on labels like Avotre, Reecords, MadTech and Lapsus to name a few.  
 
Since the change of their artist name into ‘Relativ’ they played at several big native events, festivals and clubs such as LOVELAND, Verknipt, STRAF_WERK, FLOW, Nachtcollege, Mystic Garden, Valhalla and Shelter. 

Playing together means to be connected and is all about balancing each other out. Something Luiz and Tim comprehend very well. They both have their own specialties, which results in the perfect harmony in their sets. Both on- as off-stage the modest, social and pleasant vibe of the two, combined with their love for making music and DJ-ing has got Relativ to the point where they are now. And there is more pleasure and love yet to come within this duo's bright future.

Baskerville

“Life would be f****** boring without music…”

Dutch musician Baskerville has music coursing through his veins, pumped around his body by a heart that beats like a kick drum. He literally lives and breathes music. It surrounds him, it’s indelibly imprinted into his DNA and he has dedicated his entire life to his art. 

Baskerville is a one-man operation, helmed by Thijs van der Klugt. He progressed from playing drums and guitar in his childhood, to becoming a full-time producer for a variety of Dutch acts; from electronic-based indie bands to solo artists. Meanwhile, he dedicated his time to making his own music, initially teaming up with Bart Possemis, in 2009, to form Baskerville. Their electro-tinged productions launched them into the public consciousness, with many of the biggest labels in the business releasing their music, Boyz Noize’s BNR Trax and Diplo’s Mad Decent among them. While many of the scene’s most respected players supported their music including Madeon, Boyz Noize, The Magician, Fake Blood, Tchami, Bart B More, Alex Metric, Erol Alkan, DJ Snake and Fono among others. Their scintillating live set took them around Europe to appear at festivals such as Exit, Sziget, Lowlands, Leeds Festival and more, plus a plethora of DJ gigs, while their prolific studio sessions resulted in two lauded LPs, ‘Disco Biscuits’ in 2010 and ‘Strongroom’ in 2013.

Now working alone, Baskerville’s ambitions remain the same; to keep making the very best music he can, and to fill people with positive energy, encouraging them to dance the night (or day) away. Now he’s operating as a solo act he has the freedom to explore his sound in greater depth and expand on his ideas. Baskerville splices elements of the underground with melodies, indie, hip-hop, electro and whatever else he is inspired by when he hits the studio. His approach is professional, polished and full of panache. It’s dance music made with a distinct touch of class - high quality, layered productions that demonstrate the wealth of experience he has gained from being so deeply involved with music for such a long time. It’s music made to get the dance floor moving, the girls especially, but also intricate enough for the heads who appreciate technical flair. 

With his sights locked on the future, he is entering a new phase in his career with a fresh agenda and a new level of excitement fuelled by having the freedom to really do exactly what he wants. Baskerville already has a single signed to Chase & Status’ seminal label MTA Records - the breakbeat-tinged ‘Times’, which demonstrates his dexterity and professional touch perfectly, and there are more killer tracks on the way.

Needless to say, with even more behind-the-scenes production work in the pipeline, a reconfigured live show and plans to keep his club music moving forward, Baskerville will continue to be a Dutch production powerhouse…
