I started to experiment with electronic music on a Commodore 64 back in 1985. Since then I have released two commercial CDs and been featured on several compilations. The style of my music has changed over the years. My earliest tracks on the debut album 64 (XAKK Records) used influenses from my days with the Commodore 64. It's a 80's sounding album - but in an original way and coated with ambient electronica.
The style on my second album Karooshi Porn (Ninetysix Sounds) was mostly ambient/chill/electronica - with influenses from the masters Jarre, Vangelis, but also with a special original, romantic touch...
In 2001 I spent a week in the summer on Ibiza. When I got back home I knew I wanted to make music for the dance floor. It took me a few years to refine my producing skills - and in 2005 I had my first commercial EDM release when I remixed Deep Orbit's track "Revolver" for dutch label KYR Records.
Aslo in 2005 I resurrected XAKK Records as a digital label with the intention of releasing my own stuff and that of my closest friends. The first release "A Brand New World", including the remix by Andrew Kelly, got massive support from DJs like Satoshi Tomiie, Damian DP, Tony Estrada and DJ 19.
"Mind Your Matter" (2006) is played by some of the biggest DJs in the industry, like Armin Van Buuren and Markus Schulz.
Another track just recently released called "The Black Hole In My Heart" has got support from many good DJs like Moshic, Fuzzy Hair, Ivano Bellini, Tony Estrada, Shylock, Deepsky, Marc West, Deko-ze and DJ 19.
2006 has been really crazy and so far this year I have done four remixes and released four new tracks.
