Ik zie dit soort events altijd als een mooi moment van reflectie op wat er tot nu toe allemaal gebeurd is... op facebook even een stukje getypt, ik gooi hem hier ook even neer:
Looking back at all the music I made, it's fun to see all the patterns in the development of my style
I started my career with hardstyle music, and already had that rebellious mindset. Always doing the opposite of what was popular at the time... so when the mainstream was all melodic and happy, I developed a raw industrial sound with a darker atmosphere.
This sound quickly rose in popularity, and guess what... I went for a lighter sound, with more melodic and positive vibes
From there on, you know what happened. QULT, Freestyle, The Funky Cat... Ever changing and ever moving to exciting new paths.
With ORIGINS, we're going to look back at the time when the raw hardstyle sound was still in the underground, as an exciting creative melting pot. The time when we shared this passion with a dedicated following, giving expression to this pure, raw, in your face energy.
Moving on as an artist from the raw sound at the time, I grew some resistance towards it. But now, I can embrace it fully for what it is. Now is the perfect time for me to go through all my old music folders and select the greatest gems from myself and others to play for you.
Proud of my old mentor Thera to see him host the whole second area with Theracords, the label I was part of for a long time, and which has meant a lot for my career, with the artistic freedom and room for my close involvement.
You can expect me to play two sets. I'm dusting off my old experimental alias Geck-e for a nice b2b, and will play a long Geck-o solo set.
Big ups to Shockerz Events, an organisation with a great professional and passionate approach, truly listening to their visitors.
Gather all your friends from then and now, and see you on the dancefloor
