The story of Relativ starts at a supermarket in Utrecht, Holland. It was here the former Buurman & Buurman duo, Luiz and Tim, met while both working there. Their mutual love for electronic music is what brought them together and what has kept them together ever since.  At that time, around 10 years ago, Luiz was already dj-ing; something Tim had always wanted to do as well. So Luiz taught him how to.  

And while mastering these skills, the two hit it off like a house on fire and decided to form a dj-duo (Buurman & Buurman).   

From then on, not only would they regularly play at clubs like Basis (Utrecht) and Chicago Social Club (Amsterdam), but Luiz and Tim were already producing their own tracks too. Their first release ‘1970’, which came out in May 2014 on Armada Music, was an instant Soundcloud hit. The track opened up doors for the duo, getting them residencies with Verknipt and Nachtcollege, two well-known organizations in Holland.  In the summer of 2016 the two played at festivals like Lakedance, Wish Outdoor, Dance Valley and Verknipt Festival every weekend.  
The biggest achievement at that time in 2017 was their debut on STRAF_WERK Festival, something they dreamed of for a long time. 

In these 5 years of playing together as Buurman & Buurman the two have evolved and learned a lot about the business they work in. Slowly everything became more serious. Hence the new artist name ‘Relativ’, which was adopted earlier in 2017. Even though the moniker Buurman & Buurman paved the way for Luiz and Tim and had a very positive effect on their career, it was time for the next step.  

The sound of Relativ has developed into a more timeless sound, dj-wise as well as production-wise. As for productions, their first track was released by Max Chapman’s label Resonance Records at the start of September 2017. After that the duo released several tracks and ep’s on labels like Avotre, Reecords, MadTech and Lapsus to name a few.  
 
Since the change of their artist name into ‘Relativ’ they played at several big native events, festivals and clubs such as LOVELAND, Verknipt, STRAF_WERK, FLOW, Nachtcollege, Mystic Garden, Valhalla and Shelter. 

Playing together means to be connected and is all about balancing each other out. Something Luiz and Tim comprehend very well. They both have their own specialties, which results in the perfect harmony in their sets. Both on- as off-stage the modest, social and pleasant vibe of the two, combined with their love for making music and DJ-ing has got Relativ to the point where they are now. And there is more pleasure and love yet to come within this duo's bright future.

Like any story, Makèz's music carries multiple layers. Their recent projects reveal an approach that challenges listeners to listen beyond surface-level expectations. Inspired by artists who defy easy categorization -like Slum Village, Masters at Work, Moodymann and Theo Parrish- they create music that finds beauty in nuance. Each track becomes an invitation: a moment to explore, to feel, and connect.

The duo found each other in their early high school days, through a shared love for house music. They’ve spent over 15 years translating their taste and vision into music that lives somewhere between underground club grooves and songs that resonate beyond the dance floor. Drawing from the rich textures of hip hop, jazz, and disco, they craft electronic music that feels both familiar and fresh—a bridge between nostalgic rhythms and contemporary production.

Their journey from teenage music enthusiasts to international artists, is a narrative of organic growth and musical intuition. After moving to Amsterdam, they immersed themselves in the city's nightlife, transforming their youthful musical curiosity into a professional pursuit that would reach dance floors across the globe. The two developed an almost telepathic connection—complementing each other's strengths both on stage and in the studio. Their differences aren't obstacles, but the very source of their creative language.

Makèz’s discography has been marked by releases on labels like Heist, No Art, Balance Recordings, and Classic Music Company. However, 2023 marked their definitive international breakthrough with "Downstream ft. Life On Planets" as summer's most sought-after track ID.

Vaux is an upcoming Dj / producer from Leiden ,The Netherlands.
