- Collecting, Playing & Mixing Vinyl Records. 

- Producing, Mastering & Releasing Easy, New & Original Electronic Dance Music. 

01. SHORT HISTORY

Born in 1983 and 'discovered' New Beat at the end of the '8o's. From that moment, I became a young fan of Electronic Music and started listening the local radio stations & recording my favorite songs on tape (TOPRADIO SIS & Dance Radio Plus). Good points at school resulted in my preferred present: a Compact Disc. I collected all Compilations and learned titles from Producers/Artists by heart. It was a period of listening all weekends to the charts. Local artists were pushed and there was a big local radio-community where greetings were given and you could call asking to play your favorite number.

02. DEEJAY

In 1997, I started to collect vinyl records (quite expensive for a student) although my first opportunities to play them was at the local radiostation and at schoolparties where the majority of the crowd experienced his first night 'going out'.
Later on, I continued my musical tour in local pubs, on Wedding & Birthdayparties, business events, some New Years eve parties but also the Belgian clubs, disco's and afterclubs. 
I was sharing the title of 'Forum Administrator' on a Belgian webforum which became a digital market of clubbing people who shared their emotions, experiences, opinions, musical preferences, publicity for parties and digitalised mixtapes (Legendaryclubs.be).
In 2006, I made my Thesis about the history of House Music and the Marketing Strategy of N.E.W.S. (2006).
In 2009 I was involved in a project powered by Studio Brussel (National Radiostation) and sponsored by Red Bull: This Book is Elektronic. A small selection of articles and flyers representing Belgian nightlife during a period of 30 years. This inspiring book also reveal some interviews with legendary Belgian artists.

03. EVENT ORGANISER

Balmoral, The Reunion - a yearly event with the responsibility of coordinating the marketing & the communication with my artists.
Love vs Life - an evenement which took place during Gentse Feesten and with the responsibility of marketing and publicity.

04. COMPONIST - PRODUCER

In 2021 I started composing or producing my own musical productions. The philosophy I have in the studio is based on 2 convictions. First of all, I remarked during last decades that a lot of new releases within electronic music were reworked, remixed or, at least, resampled music of previous music productions. The House scene gives me an image of deprivation between artists. I fully proof with my music there is still a lot of inspiration available and I always maintain 3 values while working in my studio: NEW, ORIGINAL & EASY.
My second conviction is the role of everybody in this artistical process. The artist is doing 'the artist-thing' and the deejays, radios, public places or 'the crowd' is doing 'the publicity-thing'. We should not gossip about the meaning of good or bad taste neither we should pay for it. In reality, it mean that I do everything on my own: Inspiration, creation, production, mastering & distribution of all my projects without investing 1 coin in it (except my Soundcloud-profile).

Feel free to listen & to share and do not forget to dance!

No accurate depiction of electronic music culture would be complete without special mention of Deborah De Luca. Widely acknowledged as one of the most prominent flag-bearers for Techno globally and a regular fixture inside the world’s most distinguished DJ booths, Deborah has the unique ability to transfix crowds with her electrically charged, technically nuanced sets, fusing hard techno with minimal grooves and melodic soundscapes to absorbing effect. A pioneer in the use of social networks as a promotional tool, whilst somehow managing to retain a strong sense of discretion in her private life, Deborah is unrivalled in her determination and passion, earning every part of her current status as one of the most exciting talents to emerge from the international Techno scene over the past decade.
Born under the shade of the infamous Vele di Scampia – one of the toughest districts in Naples – the now-globally recognised DJ, producer and label head came from humble beginnings, forging her path to international success against unlikely odds. However this was to become her making. “You shouldn’t let anybody tell you what you can or can’t become”, she expounded in a rare interview, referencing her early livelihood as a nightclub dancer. “It’s true, in recent years I have gained popularity, but I am very grateful for the long journey it’s taken”. More than anything else, Deborah’s roots and her unwavering ethic are an integral part of the flourishing artist we see before us today.
Deborah spent the formative years of her musical career in Northern Italy, following a brief stint at fashion school in Modena. Cutting her teeth on the European club circuit, where she quickly realised music was her true calling, Deborah’s hard work and relentless determination eventually began to pay off and in 2013 she launched her very own imprint Sola_mente Records. Created as a platform by which to release her own music, free from creative pressure and external constraints, the label went from strength to strength and in November 2018, Deborah marked a decade-long career in the industry with the critically acclaimed release of her debut album ‘Ten’. A huge milestone for the Italian producer, ‘Ten’ represented an important rite of passage and a body of work that she would cherish indefinitely.
