THE PAST: (origin of the name "DJ INSANE")
He discovered his talent for music at a very young age. The musical journey began by obtaining a acoustic guitar and being taught by his Spanish teacher Domenico Di Lella at the Koorenhuis in The Hague. He taught him the basic skills of classical music such as reading and writing musical notes, the scale & chords. After 1 year of lessons, he and some friends from the music school started a heavy metal band called GUARDIAN. After many practice sessions in rehearsal rooms with his new electric guitar, he slowly developed his own unique style. His passion for music developed enormously when he looked up to guitarists such as The Edge (U2), Les Claypool (Primus), Jimi Hendrix, David Gilmore (Pink Floyd).Gradually he also became interested in Hip Hop & Dancehall which he heard through friends from school. Artists like Public Enemy, N.W.A 2live Crew, Schoolly D, De La Soul, Mantronix, Above the Law, Supercat, Yellowman, Cutty Ranks, Eek-a-Mouse and many others of the time. He mainly paid attention to the beats and the way of Scratching. When he heard a mixtape from MC Schoolly D and his DJ Code Money (USA), he was sold. He heard rough electronic beats with very sharp scratch techniques and decided he wanted to do that too. With his saved pocket money he bought 2 turntables and a small mixing console. He got an old amplifier and speakers from his uncle and a box full of old records & singles with all kinds of genres of music. From the eighties disco and italo to motown, soul, old school bollywood & funk.He began to experiment with all kinds of styles whatever he could get out of the box. By mixing various beats and scratching various sounds, he gradually developed his own style of mixing. He recorded his recording sessions on a cassette and let his friends hear it. His friends told him, "The way you mix the beats and sounds is not normal, it's kind of insane (INSANE) ...!" From that day on, DJ INSANE was born. Known for his insane way of mixing (THE "INSANE" WAY OF MIXING).His passion for playing "live" instruments still existed and he gradually bought a Synthesizer to be able to work out his melodies, Drum Computers to make his own beats, An Atari S1 Digital Sampler to record and edit his own sounds and an Atari ST with Cubase Basic Software to control it all. Slowly learned how to compose and remix his own music by means of sequences.He kept a so-called "bedroom D.J." for about 5 years before he really turned out to the world . In those 5 years he has managed to develop himself into a full-fledged DJ. This was mainly about the DJ techniques, the choice of records, the DJ skills and the creation of his own unique style of mixing. . His influences were very varied at the time, hence his broad musical knowledge.When house music slowly made its entrance from Chicago and Detroit to the Netherlands during the 90s, DJ INSANE was very interested in this movement and began to study this genre and develop it for himself so that he could experiment with various music genres.
