I was lucky, because when I was 17 I had the opportunity to work with Hugo Langras (now a days famous from the Dutch dance-act Klubbheads). He spent a lot on the latest technology, which gave me the opportunity to find out more about what was possible in the midi world. Later when midi was available on pc and the first midi-keyboards appeared, I was definitely one of the first investing in this.
Obviously technology but also artists like Paul van Dyk, Energy 52, DJ Jean, Klubbheads, Groove Amanda, Chicane, Junior Jack, G-spott.....pretty diverse. Basically I try to be creative by producing lounge to gabber. Have a listen to 'Internal Static', or compare 'See Me' with 'For Didi' and you know what I mean.

Started writing in the early 90s on a commodore Amiga. First tracks were very simple. Especially the improvement of technology gave me the inspiration to make better tracks.
The fans are the reason of my success. That is what it is about. I love to get any feedback about my tracks. As an artist you always imagine the what if this tune is played in a club. It is so nice to get feedback from fans who communicate this feeling and explain the drive you aimed for during the production.
