Dj Simon MIXDOWN

DJ Simon si avvicina al mondo Hardcore fin da giovanissimo. 
Alla fine degli anni '90 organizza le prime feste private che lo porteranno all'Area Indoor, 
dove creerà eventi caratterizzati dal suo inconfondibile stile.

Proprio grazie a queste feste e al suo stile, diventa sempre più conosciuto e apprezzato dagli amanti del
genere e inizia a suonare in diversi locali in tutto il nord Italia. 

Nel 2006 abbandona la scena musicale, ma nel 2012 decide di ritornare nel mondo Hardcore e propone un nuovo progetto
dedicato ai veterani di questa musica: "100% Area Indoor", organizzato nell'omonimo e storico locale.

Fin dalla prima edizione questa Reunion riscuote un enorme successo facendo riavvicinare al movimento 
chi, come lui, è legato all'hardore "vecchia scuola". 

Il successo di questi party ha contribuito, inolte, a ridare spazio ai generi Oldschool, Early Rave e Industrial 
all’interno della scena hardcore italiana, stimolando altre crew a dar vita a nuovi progetti in "vecchio stile".

Ormai un riferimento per i veri appassionati del sound Early Rave e della mitica Sala 2,
dove il suo grande successo gli ha fatto guadagnare, nel 2013, la posizione di Resident Dj.

Nel 2014 è entrato a far parte del progetto BRAINWORMS RECORDS, etichetta discografica che organizza eventi e propone tracce rigorosamente
in stile "vecchia scuola".

Dj Simon started listening to Hardcore music since he was very young.
At the end of the 90s he started organizing his first private parties, until the great events at “Area Indoor” characterized by his unique style.

Thanks to these parties and his style, he became more and more famous and appreciated among the lovers of this music genre and started playing in different clubs all over the north of Italy. 

In 2006 he left the music scene, but then in 2012 he decided to come back with a new project dedicated to the ‘veterans’ of hardcore music: "100% Area Indoor", organized in the namesake and memorable club.

From the very beginning this ‘Reunion’ had a gret success and the supporter of the ‘old school style’ like him started to get closer to the movement again.

The success of these parties also contribuited to reintroduce Oldschool, Early Rave and Industial styles in the italian hardcore scene and motivated other crews to create new ‘old style’ projects.

Nowadays he's considered one of the main representative of hardcore music by the fans of the Early Rave sound and the legendary "Sala 2" of “Number One” disco, where in 2013 thanks to his great success he became Resident Dj.

In 2014 he entered a project called BRAINWORMS RECORDS, a label which produces tracks and organizes parties only in real ‘old school style’.

DJ Graat (Gerard Visschers) 

The name came from the very first party, when the record was playing named: 
Chosen Few – Name of the DJ. 

Everybody shouted “DJ GRAAT “  And the legendary name was immediately chosen not by the Chosen Few but by the audience! 

DJ Graat is consistent with his love for music all of his life.  
He is been involved in music as long as he can remember and especially his love for Hardcore! 

When DJ Graat was a child he would put cassette tapes together from his Father with all of his favorite music, the radio played everything he liked and so his love for recording and mixing had been born.  

In high school it really started to kick of when he knew he would be a DJ for life for the hardcore scene! 
He met someone who had more experience and the chemistry began, they soon became best friends with the same passion for Hardcore❤ After he visited for the first time the house of his new best friend he was totally sold to all the gear and equipment that was over there. It was a dream to work with all of this equipment.  

The time had arrived that he could afford his own DJ set, through a friend of his he could procure a set for a good valued price and the marriage between DJ Graat and vinyl had been fulfilled! After purchasing 2 brand new Technics SL 1200’s the love for the hardcore scene only grew stronger and stronger.  

The styles of music where the heart of DJ Graat belongs are Oldschool & Millenium but his absolute favourite will always be and remain Early Hardcore!
