On the 1st of June 2002, Franquillizer and his mates visited Qlubtempo in the HMH, Amsterdam. At that legendary gig, he got hooked on Hardstyle instantly.
Until now, Early Hardstyle Classics has been the most addictive drug he ever consumed and I can say, with a probability bordering on certainty, that that won’t change for the rest of his life.

After more than 23 years of being an addict now, Franquillizer knows almost every Early Hardstyle Classic track, in every detail, from front to back. For quite a while now he has had enough of (most) deejays who keep on playing the same tracks, every single time (!) they perform.
So late last year he said to himself; ‘Fuck that shit!’ and very shortly after that, DJ Franquillizer was born 😎

Franquillizer is ready to take you with him on a trip down Hardstyle’s History lane, which he likes to refer to as; ‘A Master Class in History of Early Hardstyle Classics’.
And you’re all welcome to join him! But y’all better make sure you’ve fastened your seatbelts properly when DJ Franquillizer releases the next chapter of his Master Class 🚀

“Never let age Extinguish your Inner Child.”

#8 - Early Classic Raw Euphoria Hardstyle (2000-2015) - 08/06/2025- live @ RaveLoods

Hi, I am (rookie!) DJ Franquillizer!            
                   
• Early Hardstyle Classics Addict 
• Partylover 
• Forever Young 

The first (big) event I ever attended was Mystery Land  Festival back in 2001. 
It was Qlubtempo (an anniversary edition held on the 1st of June 2002 in the Heineken Music Hall, Amsterdam) that got me hooked on Hardstyle. The music sounded beyond magical to me and it instantly made me an addict!

It changed my life (for the good!) and Hardstyle became a big part of it. In many ways it (positively) contributed to my life, throughout the years; it brought me my girlfriend (still together, 20 years now!), got me a lot of friends and countless other things that I'm lucky to have around me! 
Hardstyle (and all that’s connected to it) is the main contributor for making me into who I am today.

I started deejaying late last year (November 2024), so forgive me when my mixing sounds like shit! 

Still curious about what it means to be hooked on Early Hardstyle Classics and wanna hear the music through the ears of an addict?
Then you better stay tuned and make sure you're buckled up when DJ Franquillizer releases a next chapter of his musical autobiography!!
