Long Intro Mix

I am DJ Nesta The Originator, born in The Netherlands, from 1997 till 2014 living in the Czech Republic, then 7 years living in Brussels, and since summer 2021 moved to The Netherlands, the city of The Hague .
For more than 30 years I am collecting and playing reggae and dub. The name Nesta I am using already for more than 25 years – originally only as pseudonym for writing short political columns, since 1998 as DJ. Since the internet came up, I realised that there are more “Nestas” in the DJ world – So I added the The Originator to my name. Why “The Originator”? I started playing regggae more than 20 years ago in Brno, Czech republic. As one of the first, with bi-weekly shows in the cellar of an obscure pub annex laundrette called Mýdlo. That was the start of a blooming regggae scene. Many young people who attended my shows, started playing regggae themselves as DJs, MCs and Soundsystems. They brought regggae in Brno to the next level and beyond
