We all have our first times. Want to know that special moment of Charlotte De Witte, Enrico Sangiuliano, Nicole Moudaber, Secret Cinema and many others? Maybe I interviewed your favorite dance icon about it. Check it out!
Dennis van de Geer: “Studio fuller and bank account emptier”
I got to know Dutch DJ/producer Dennis van de Geer at one of his first Buzz! Events. In November 2015 he told me about his intended debut story. The one that didn’t take place…
Secret Cinema: “Power cut in my ‘live’ set”
Jeroen Verheij a.k.a. producer & live techno artist Secret Cinema is refreshingly down to earth and open. In May 2017 I interviewed him about his DJ debut. “After that first gig, it was ‘live’ or die!”
Rombout: “My first gig was trainwreck paradise!”
Trial & error. Those words apply to the start of Rombout Wagenaar’s DJ career. “No stupid pedestal!”
DJ José: “I was sweating bullets”
It’s 40 years ago since DJ José played his first gig. He told me about it: “My choice of records was appreciated from the start.”
Paul Hazendonk: “First gig in Paul Elstak’s radio-show”
During ADE 2017 we accidentally bumped into each other. Of course, the conversation quickly turned to Paul Hazendonk’s first gig. It all started with a DJ contest.
Max E Groove: “We were extremely eager”
My love goes way back with UK DJ Max E Groove, but I met this super nice man in 2015. Not soon after that, he told me about his first gig. The memory makes him laugh: “We waited by the stage entrance with our records in milk crates.”
