3 QUESTIONS to BIESMANS:

Q: Talking about your mix, a vinyl only selection: How did you select the tracks and what do these records still mean to you?

A: I started buying (mainly Trance) records in '97 and I decided to put a mix together that shows my evolution over a time span of roughly 10 years. You can see it as a journey from playing records at home in my basement till the point where things got more serious and I was playing a lot in (local) clubs. Musically this translates into a trip from Trance to Techno with a pinch House. This mix brought back so much good memories, goosebumps all the way!!!

Q: How did you spend your time since the first lockdown?

A: I’ve spent my time in the studio. It’s my outlet, a way to stay sane and don’t get depressed I guess. I really cannot say where I would be without my music in a time like this. I’m not the type of person that can sit back and ride this thing out from the couch. I need to put my energy into something and that something is music!
 
Q: Which projects are you currently working on and what can we expect from you the next months?

A: I’m doing several things right now. First of all I gave myself a little challenge to make (unofficial) remixes of Belgian 80’s classics. I felt it could be a way to explore different musical territories and its so much fun dive into the music I grew up with. I’m even contacting the original artists behind these songs and they all love the idea! Apart from that I’m also focussing on new originals and also a few remixes for some amazing artists! This year there will be coming new music on a monthly basis so keep your ears pealed!

HOW I MET THE BASS is a concept series, founded and hosted by @marc-depulse. 

It's not about mixing the current charts - it's about your roots. A storyteller. Music from your childhood and youth that once had a big impact on your later doings, showing musicially how you got in touch with Electronic Music back in the days.

Marc tells about his project:

"Techno is a huge family. These are my experiences when I'm coming to different cities and places every weekend. Doesn't matter who you are and where you're coming from. It's about making friends and having a good time together. I have met so many interesting artists during the last 2 decades and all of them love to tell their own exciting story. So I'm inviting my favorite artists from time to time to mix their musicial roots within a podcast."
