What looked like a setback in the lives of two young men, might turn out quite different, so it seems seven years later.
In the year 2002, Tim Schoordijk and Ivo van der Zeyst both found themselves placed in the same classroom. The same schoolyear in which they failed fourth grade of highschool in a small town very close to Amsterdam. A close friendship was born not short after, but not due to their mutual interest in music.

Both had already developed a specific musical taste in there early teens. Tim had a passion for phat, driven and extravert Hip-Hop beats, while Ivo loved the dark, raw and mystical elements of Rock music. Various attempts to convert one another to their style failed miserably and remained an amusing matter of debate for the better part of two years.

That changed in 2004 while the two friends found themselves at a relativly young age, through a funny course of events, at one of the legendary Awakenings parties at the NDSM warf. That night proved to be an eyeopener. Suddenly there was no need for discussion anymore, one extraordinairy night was enough to sweep that all away. Since that day, their musical discussions made place for frequent visits to Techno parties across the country.

While the years passed and their taste in techno developed, just dancing and listening slowly became only partialy satisfying. In order to bring it to the next level they started DJ’ing. Tim bought a pair of turntables, while Ivo bought a computer and some software. Practising individualy for some time now they have finally decided to team up and bring their love for Techno to the dancefloor together.

Together they go under the name ‘Locomotiv’focusing on deep, dark and danceable Techno. Uniting their original musical taste under the same banner, bond together by Techno. Slowly building but once on the loose unstoppable and massive like a train.
