Travel just thirty kilometers south from Amsterdam and you’ll find another world where jogging pants are the new cool and people actually feel free to smile when they go out. You have arrived in Utrecht. Call it Little Cornwall if you will, because it was in the South-West corner of England that lads like Aphex Twin, Luke Vibert and Mike Paradinas made their quirky yet emotional electronic music without acting cool as was common practice in the dancemusic scene at the time.
 
It’s exactly this Cornish way of life that appealed to the boys of Utrecht’s dj-collective and recordlabel 030303. Mind you, 030303 are not ashamed of their love for serious IDM and glitch flavoured tunes by contemporary hotshots .But they also enjoy watching the unsure expressions on the faces of their fellow music lovers whilst playing eurotrashy tunes by the likes of Twenty 4 Seven and Quadrophonia in trashy taverns such as Tivoli, Ekko, Melkweg and Kikker.
 
As healthier ways of living came into fashion in the 1980s, acid became more than a mere chemical substance and started to come out of machines as well. Despite their very young age, the 030303 crew became a huge fan of a particular bassline machine made by the Roland corporation and so did other now big names such as Cylob, D’Arcangelo and Ceephax amongst others, all of which come and celebrate the acid bleep at 030303 events around Utrecht and the dandy town of Amsterdam.
 
Being right in the middle of the happening acid-scene, the 030303 crew could not help doing what any other freak would do: they had to start releasing acid-tunes by Braindance veterans as well as by younger musicians. 030303’s chart-toppers range from subtle to bombastic and highly psychedelic, the common denominator always being a very deep bleep.
 
It’s just as fantastic as you’ve just read: 030303 brings a very complete picture that will never be equaled by any other crew. Feel free to rock up at any 030303 event near you but don’t forget to dress up as corny as possible! Aciiiiieeed!!!

Everything started in 1992 when the newbeat was disappearing with the rise of  the Rave / Techno.
I (Re: nald) and my brother (Teck) explored Belgian clubs, where the music was more house / trance. We started buying Vinyl and  bought everything we liked. Until we discovered our first underground parties (Code 303, Funky Green Aliens, ...) in Ghent. Where the music was more about Techno and Acid,we got hold of the 'acid' microbes and started mixing all acid infuences we could fine.
In 1996, when we were mixing and experimenting with friends, in the kitchen. One of us (K'stuff) came up with the idea to call gathering 'Christmass Kitchen Lab' , the adventure has begun!
Organizing  squat - and outdoor parties, halls, boats ... basically everything we could find ..;booking belgium artists.

In 2001 me and Krewlio started 'How To Fold' events (where we promoted Acid aswell as Nu Skool Breakz Artists)... we had Chris Liberator, Alex Hexxen, Rebel Yelle,Cyber ​​Steve, The Pranksterz (Acid Ted - Steve Kyte), Dynamic Intervention, Jodi & Andrew Bell (Sidewalk Theory), Bor (Zodiac Commune - NL), Kermit (FR), Pharmacy & Dj Beatle (Havok Records), Mr Burns (Skankedelic Sounds),Matt Acidic (RaveYard - AcidLeaks),Brooksie(AcidLeaks - We Speak Techno),
Ege Bamyasi,...


Breakz : Tamsin, Atomic Hooligan, Lawgivers, General Midi, Kosmik Neil, Jay Cunning,Elite Force. 

We had the change to play for Retro Acid (Ghent - BE), Berlin (Squatparty for Zodiac Commune - NL), Millenium Party (Mexico – Cancun/Tulum), Free Parties (Montpellier - Fr),Boomtown : The Gathering 2022.

2012 I met Mad Monkey and RedLab ,knew them from squat parties in Ghent(Belgium) and their ragga/reggea soundsystem  called 'The Bass Tune Crew').
Sinds then we hooked up together and they joined  CKL .

2015 was a new page for me to develop my other music, 2 friends (Hecticcc and Mèche) invited me to their radio show 'BREAXITY'. An concept of  Hecticcc with the intention of promoting music based on BREAKS (Electro-Jungle-DnB-Breakcore-Bass-UK Hardcore-Grime-Beats -... and occasionally Acid :] ). He showed me the technical tricks how to run a radioshow and learn alot about it. Unfortunately Hecticcc left us ... RIP Bro'.So...he gave  Mèche and me the change to continue the show ( 2019 Black Francis and Goony joined us).

Past / Present Chrismass Kitchen Lab members: Mr Gasmask, K'stuff, Mr T, Dry Molan, Pat, Syncope, Krewlio, Soundblossom, Teck, Duja, Rob & Caroline, MadMonkey, RedLab, Psychtroll, Ben,Emetic,Black Francis.
