Biography
Mind One has lived with music all his life; among his first memories he recalls Motown and rock sounds, and he grew up listening to different styles music almost without a pause. Whether on his Walkman, Discman or MiniDisc there was always some form of music in his ear to accompany him on his journey through life. But what set him apart from his friends was his conviction to share his passion for music with the world around him. This was why he started a drive-in show while he was still in his teens. To quote Mind One on his vision of music: “Music is the cure that makes you forget all that is negative.”
He had his transition to minimal techno during a summer holiday in Barcelona. For Mind One that summer meant his definite taste switch to techno. When he came home in Amsterdam he realised he was bitten. Bitten by the beat bug. And he still feels that bite everyday when he stands behind his mixer. As a DJ today, he plays with the same purpose with which he performed his drive-in show; Mind One uses his music to entertain and to heal. To prove his skills he entered the Dommelsch DJ contest a few years ago. And easily made it to the finals, showing he can compete with the best DJ’s Amsterdam has to offer.
Mind One follows his instincts and the reactions of the crowd to decide the style of every single set he plays. You will find that he never plays the same set or mix twice; always striving to maximize the amusement value for his audience. And he’s not afraid to take a gamble either, to try something new while performing, something unprepared. He can mix a soulful set, or turn up the tempo and blow up the venue. Whatever his audiences desire, Mind One will deliver with his own twist. Sometimes that even means breaking a set with an unexpected, short burst of chaos, using his effects and loops, to subtly regain control and climax spectacularly.
