Favorite playlist:
The year is 1994 when I first put ‘the needle on the record’. First performing for my bedroom’s four walls I soon realised that spinning records was a great hobby. Starting of with the more darker side of dancemusic I got the opportunity to play for other people who seemed to like what I did. More parties followed but the feeling for the music I was playing at that time was gone. I even stopped playing for a while but I was allready to much infected with the virus that is DJ-ing.
I was searching for a style that was more melodic and I found it in trance music and that is the style I still play today. After releasing my first tracks such as Theme from Norefjell, Earth and Sparkles (all these together with DJ Tiësto) I was asked to become a resident at the Spock in my hometown Breda. Here I played every saturday night for 4 years. Here I developed my style I still play today: Raw uplifting trance.
In the summer of 2000 the guys from Black Hole gave me the chance to mix the 5th part of the In Trance We Trust series. It’s release resulted in some very nice gigs in Holland but also in countries like Norway, Panama, Columbia and Greece. The number of gigs went even bigger after the release of In Trance We Trust 6 and Maxim editions V1.0.
Nowadays I play every friday and saturday night all over Holland and I sometimes visit foreign countries. That is also why I, after 4 great years, have quit my residency at the Spock.
For the future I hope to bring you more and more nice music produced by myself and also treat you with some nice DJ sets all over the globe. So probably I will see you sometime in some club and I will try to make it a night you will never forget.

DJ PROFILE : GREEN VELVET
GREEN VELVET
Green Velvet is unlike anything you’re likely to have heard before. Unless, that is, your daily musical intake includes a series of ruminations on such matters as alien abduction (“Abduction”), reincarnation in the form of H20 (“Water Molecule”), and an account of the most depressing and outrageous telephone messages you can imagine (“Answering Machine”), most delivered in a deadpan monotone and all layered over irresistibly hypnotic dance grooves.
The Green Velvet story began in 1968, when Curtis Jones, son of an electronic engineer (his dad) and a dietician (his mom), was born in Chicago. Discussing his childhood, Curtis said, “I guess you could say I’ve always been sorta weird. I think my parents thought I was smart.” Smart enough, in fact, to send him to the University of Illinois to study chemical engineering, followed by a year of graduate study in that same field at Berkeley.
But there was music as well as chemicals (so to speak) in young Curtis’ blood. His father was an occasional DJ, playing blues and funk, which is how Curtis first heard such major influences as Sly Stone and George Clinton. Curtis himself began studying saxophone while still in elementary school. Later, while in college, he fell under the spell of the house music that was becoming popular in the ‘80s and the influence of such electronic music pioneers as Kraftwerk, Ministry, and Liaisons Dangereuses. Once the music bug bit, that was about it for his studies. “It was pretty obvious to me that (chemical engineering) was not my calling,” Curtis recalled. “The work was dull and conventional, and I got the chills when I thought about doing that for the rest of my life... So I saved up the money I made from the summer internships I had with companies who were sponsoring my scholarships and bought some equipment –- a keyboard, a mixer, and a drum machine, $90 in all.”
Calling himself Cajmere (that’s CAJ, as in Curtis A. Jones), Curtis released an EP called Underground Goodies in 1991, followed by the “Brighter Days” single on his own Cajual Records label in ’92. A year later he started another label, calling this one Relief and earmarking it for his more techno-influenced projects. (Both labels are currently in what Curtis described as “a state of dormancy,” but he plans to revive them eventually.)
Green Velvet was conceived as a harder alternative to the more house-oriented Cajmere and began in ’93. As for the name, “that came from my ex-girlfriend’s father. He used to make fun of Cajmere, ‘cause he thought it was a funny name. So then he used to take it to another level and call me Green Velvet, ‘cause that was even more ridiculous.” Not so coincidentally, it also describes both the texture and color of the skin of the aliens who dally with out hero on the aforementioned “Abduction” track.
Of course, to enjoy the complete Green Velvet experience, he needs to be seen live. “I love performing tracks for those who feel that my music makes the constant chaos in life more tolerable,” Curtis has said, and fans and reviewers alike have reacted in kind.
“Green Velvet live is an unforgettable experience,” wrote one British critic, referring only in part to Jones’ somewhat unusual appearance (swimming goggles, day-glo green mesh cones glued to his scalp, green velvet trousers...). “Curtis Jones becomes possessed with a supernatural manic energy, using his headphones as a vocoder, dancing, cackling, inciting the crowd... He’s not afraid of debunking the seriousness of techno via comic cabaret and widening its parameters to include a whole spectrum of kooks and eccentrics.”

DJ PROFILE - LAFLECHE
LAFLÈCHE
DJ, PRODUCER, REMIXER
1989 At the early age of 17, Laflèche enters the professional nightlife world of DJs at a local Montreal club.
1994 He produces his own radio show BPM on 101.5 fm where he blends techno and house rhythms for six-hour live sets every week. For three years, along with his ever-growing ratings, Laflèche refines his technique and patiently builds his reputation as a true master of the decks.
1996 Montreal promotion team 514 Productions like what they hear and decide to help Laflèche rise to a more suitable level. Laflèche enters the major leagues through Montreal's first legal after-hours club: Sona where over 2000 people come every week to hear him play. Thanks to the success earned with this prestigious residency and to other popular nights he holds at some of Montreal's reputed clubs (Angel's, Di Salvio), Laflèche instantly becomes one of the headliners at every major event put on in Montreal.
1997... Playing a key role in the success of massive yearly events such as CREAM 97/98/99, CELEBRATION 97/98/99/2000, SWIRL 4/5/6 etc., Laflèche outdoes himself every time and eloquently shows that he can take on any crowd, may they be 200 in a bar or 20 000 at the Olympic Stadium. Happy to share the decks with some of the greatest names of the world's circuit, Laflèche soon sees his reputation and name transcend Canadian borders.
1998 Montreal label Turbo Recordings convinces Laflèche to be their second artist featured in their Montreal Mix Sessions series, distributed across Canada and the US. The response is overwhelming: US Mixer Magazine rates the CD #1 on its hit list, above renowned artists such as Armand Van Helden, Josh Wink and Underworld. Darren Ressler (US Mixer Mag's editor) calls it the best compilation he's heard in years. While the raving reviews keep pouring in, the 10 000 pressed copies quickly sell out. After such a great kick off, Laflèche decides to strike again with full force in May 2000 with a second superb compilation for Turbo (Montreal Mix Sessions, #4).
2000... Working relentlessly, Laflèche takes on project after project and travels more and more while keeping a firm hold on his Sona residency. Not only does he now run his own label (Frosty Recordings) on which he is about to release a few titles (including one he produced with DJ Sneak); Laflèche also collaborates with many foreign labels. His first EP release, The Flex EP, out on Slang Recordings (UK) flew straight up to #2 on the Virgin UK Hype Chart and quickly made its way to some of the world's best DJs' high rotation list (Roger Sanchez, Carl Cox, Derrick Carter, DJ Disciple etc.).
With appealing propositions coming from Europe and the US, Laflèche is now cruising at international calibre speed. For an artist whose ultimate goal has always been to make the whole planet dance, things couldn't be sweeter. Keep an eye on Laflèche, but don't you blink!

DJ PROFILE - IZNOGOOD
DJ IZNOGOOD
Things to Come records NYC,Syntax records NYC,Industrial strength records NYC,Popsicle crew – Atlantis,MTL
LIVE
As a producer,Dj Iznogood is one of the freshest artist on the east coast,looking to expand his horizons he begun sampling music of all gendres and yeilded some of the freshest and most impressive live music performances this city had ever seen. Given the oppurtunity,Dj Iznogood would surely bring us tracks in the gendre of Alice Deejay,Daft Punk,Yves Deruyter,Tiesto,Paul Van Dyk and Deelite or hardcore tracks like Lenny Dee,Oliver Chesler or Marc Acardipane.
DJ
As a dj,Dj Iznogood is one hell of a versitle mashine.There is nothing he can’t do.Don’t believe us?request a demo or chek your local record shop for his forthcoming live cd.
You can seldomly pronounce the words Dj Iznogood in montreal without a reaction from the public.He has been everywhere,in every club and done everything in every instance.He’s played alongside world class djs like Paul Van Dyk,Marco Corola,Mistress Barbara,Sven Vaeth and Dave Clark to name a few.
May 4 2001,the montreal Mirror(montreal local weekly newspaper),through a public survey poll,anounced that Dj Iznogood was the most popular dj (non-specific) in montreal.This confirmes Dj Iznogoods’ popularity and following that he’s worked so hard to achieve.
The event that sets Dj Iznogood apart from other world acts is one of pure courage and determination.During Arrival 4 in the summer of 2000,Dj Iznogood raised arms and heads and claimed his teritory alongside the great djs of the globe.He played what was classified as the longest extended dj set ever,playing over two thousand (2000) records for forty (40) hours non stop.Most agree it to be a monumental achievement in the history of electronic music.If you were not there at Arrival 4,there is no way you could escape all the post-event coverage on MusicPlus and Montreal regoinal newspapers and periodicals like Hour and Ici.
‘There is no dj around who can match his humor,spirit and determination,thus taking him across the nation in dark coners of the rave scene.If there is a style out there that's being played,he's played it 3 years ago.His years of mixing in smokey clubs and half assed promoted events has earned all the respect he needs.Charles can do anything with tables.
