Artist names : DJ one 2 one, The Beatcollector, Da Maniac, DJ DEX, DJ T.O.M.
Real name : Frans de Wit
DJ-ing since : 70's
Music-Style : House, Club, Hard Club, Techno, Progressive, Electronic, Trance, BPM range between 125 and 145
Thanks to DMC (Disco Mix Club) he made a lot (music-industry) friends all
over the world, and at the moment he has also a lot of contacts
around the world trough internet, in september 2009 the DMC World
Championship had its 25th anniversary in London.
DJ one2one grew up with music from Deep Purple, Yes, Led Zepplin, Frank
Zappa, Kinks, Rolling Stones and began dj-ing at schoolparties with
music like Mud, Sweet and a few years later some soul and
discotunes like chic, trammps, sister sledge, (Saturday Night Fever)
Bee-Gees, Michael Jackson etc. , wich resulted in a dj career with a mobile
drive in show during the seventies.
He started mixing at clubs in 1979 (just after the release of a linn-drum-machine).
The hip-hop scene became popular with Joseph Saddler (born in the same year as Frans), better known as Grandmaster Flash (the message) aka the man who helped invent hip hop.... Grandmaster Flash spun vinyl records alongside DJ Herc at the fabled street gatherings in The Bronx.
In 1982 & 1983 Frans was also sound technician by a disco-funk-rock-latin band called "Magrib".
In 1984 he had his own radio-show called HitBox wich became
very popular, maybe because he played the existing dance-hits of
the moment, mixed with the dance hits of the (near) future.
During his radio-shows a new hobby started : doing interviews with people from the music-scene, and let them do some station calls and name jingles.
He interviewed people like Gloria Estefan (with Miami Sound Machine), Lime,
Five Star, Adeva, The Trammps, Sister Sledge, Allison Williams, Kraze,
Tina Turner.....and many more.
In 1986 he started with turntabalism, kind of acrobatics with technics SL1200 turntables.
Later in 1986 the warehouse parties started with People from England
(thanx 2 SOHO connection with Maz Weston, Graham B. en Paul Jay) and
house music became mainstream.
As dj one2one he was a resident dj in many clubs (7 years resident in Club Luxor, Holland)
In 1997 DJ one2one became world-champion in Fast-Mixing (mixing 19
different vinyl records in 2 minutes). Till today there is no DJ in the world who has beat that.
Nowdays he is playing House-Energy-Trance-Progressive music, mostly with many different melody-lines in one song, and is well know for his long smooth mixes !
Today dj one2one has his own weekly radioshow at http://www.radiohitec.com called Dance 2 Trance, fridays 23:00 CET where he plays the hottest sounds from the clubscenes around the world.
