Received a House mixtape in 1988 and have been collecting House music ever since.
In 1992 started working at the local radio station
"Lokale Omroep Alphen aan den Rijn" (LOA).
Had many shows there, amongst others the House show "Laserline", that name changed in 1996 to "Alphen Underground Beat" (AUB).
This show ended in 1999.
Bought Technics SL's in 1995.
Hosted an 8 hour live broadcast in 1995 from the Cultural Youth Center (CJC) "het Kasteel" of the Houseparty "Dreamland", organized by
"Midnight Madness", with Steve Cop and Lady Aïda.
Also hosted the weekly House café night
"Chill-Out Café" (also held at the CJC), adopted from party organisation "Midnight Madness", where local and regional DJ's performed live.
Also started working at CJC "het Kasteel"
and became resident DJ for "Midnight Madness".
Organized the party "Love, Peace & Harmony" in 1997 with Godard (Waakzaamheid).
Played at different locations in and around Alphen aan den Rijn and Amsterdam, amongst others at the "Catacomb Studio", up until 2001.
The following years concentrated on mixing at home and collecting House records,
period 1985 - 1997.
Since 2008 got the taste back for visiting "Old Skool" parties, such as House Classics Festival "Wooferland".
In 2010 came in touch with Facebook community "Huppels", from which the Old Skool organisation "Huppels Inc." (Huppels Included) was founded.
This organisation held a DJ contest for the opportunity to play at the "Sugarfactory" Amsterdam, the first 4 DJ's on the list would get that chance.
Came in 2nd.
From that moment became resident DJ for "Huppels Inc." and played at many different parties, amongst others;
"The Royal Queensday Party 2011" at Q-Park Amsterdam,
"Platform Zero" at Panama, Amsterdam,
"Sat.Is.Factory" at Sugarfactor, Amsterdam
and as icing on the cake played a set at
House Classics Festivals "Wooferland" and
"The Promised Land Winter Circus".
Additionally worked on different radio live streams like
"Pickering FM",
"DeFuse Records Radio Show" on "Pure Radio",
"House Classics on sunday" on "db962"
and a 2 hour set at the home of the organisators of "Wooferland", which was live streamed as "Wooferland Pre-party"
All in all the "Huppels Inc." organisation excisted for a year and a half and went down as fast as it came.
​
Currently still active as House Classics DJ in and around Amsterdam.
