Nova Caza, real name Tim Niewenhuis, developed his interest in music at an early age, like many other DJs he started playing records at school- and birthday-parties. In 1990 he started working for a record company in order to keep work and passion close together. It wasn’t until 1992 that Tim started releasing his own music when his first record came out on the Dance Factory label. The track was titled ‘Rave The Bass’ and was released as DJ Spinoff, followed by his ‘Bull and a Virgin Project’ release titled ‘Alright Keep On Moving’.

Not being satisfied with what he had been doing until the Tim decided to get together with some of his friends and they started organizing ‘The Next Generation Parties’ in De Hoeve in Hoofddorp. During the early 90′s these parties featured a lot of DJ’s that would prove to be very big names, Tim played alongside Stacy Pullen, Marcello, Dimitri, Joost van Bellen and many more.

Getting more and more involved in the production side of dance music and being aware of the growing potential of the computer and electronic instruments, he noticed there was a lack of knowledge for the average user. Seeing a big opportunity Tim and his business partner Guss started a specialized shop called ‘Midi Amsterdam’ and for the last 16 years it has been a stable source of the finest equipment and valuable information for many producers and DJs, both established and those just starting out.

As old habits die hard, Tim is now getting back into producing music full force. After being a resident DJ at ‘Chanders Residence’ and ‘De Fietznfabriek’ in Haarlem, he’s joined forces with sax player Stanley B as Mr Cazanova feat. Stanley B. Both of them also perform live, combining live sax and DJ sets on stage. Nova Caza is Tim’s solo project. His first release on the XQisit imprint is titled ‘Techtoy‘ and puts him right back where his heart is, blending music and keeping people moving.

As resident dj on vet! Deep Techno Club Night in Club NL Amsterdam he is really moving the crowed again.

Jamie Hugh O'Callaghan was born in 1963 in the UK of Welsh/Irish parents and grew up in South Yorkshire and the coastal area around Newcastle. Although he was involved in music from a very early age (New Wave, electronics etc), it wasn't until he turned 20 that he realised he wanted to become a professional musician/composer. So he went back to school to obtain the necessary qualifications. 

He completed his music studies at Kingston University London in 1991.

 

During his studies he became fascinated by music theory and composition and was inspired by composers such as Debussy, Messiaen, Alun Hoddinott, William Alwyn and Arnold Bax but also by the minimalistic and spiritual nature of Hindu music and (film) composers Phil Glass and Bernard Herrmann. As a viola and double bass player he acquired hands on experience of compositional harmony and balance in various orchestral settings. His love of orchestral, minimal and film music has coloured his work ever since and can be found in his contemporary compositions, his projects and collaborations with various artists as well as in the electronic/ambient music with his ensemble 'The colour of time'. With his Celtic origins as a continuous source of inspiration.

Sound on Sound is a live ambient project in which I use electric violin, looping pedals and reel-to-reel techniques to create organic music for spaces, interacting with the surrounding sounds, the energy of the people or the objects present. 

For over 30 years I have been intrigued by the interaction and synergy between visual arts, time, space and music. 

I started composing to visual arts very early on in my career, creating soundscapes/musical portraits to paintings by the French artist Leonor Fini, whom I befriended in Paris. Later on my encounter with Indian (Carnatic) music made me appreciate the illusions of time and space even more and I got inspired by composers of minimal music who used tape machines which enabled them to use and re-use sounds as layers of musical paint on an ever changing canvas.

In this project performing live on electric violin and (looping) pedals allows me to adapt musical character and shading to a particular space and moment in time, painting the atmosphere or catching the vibe of the moment, tuning into the energies surrounding us.

I'm phlegmatic and I'm a Scorpio, both of which relate to water. Above all I like to swim, floating far and away... in the water... in the music... and on many other journeys. With my music I like to create such journeys for others to join me, that's why I call myself Swimmer.


My music is mostly ambient, dub and techno, but I'm trying to infuse some ethnic influences and even some psytrance tryouts.
