I was born and raised in Haarlem (a big city near Amsterdam - after which Harlem in New York was named), hence the name “the Harlem Dance Club”.
I grew up in the disco area with all the fabulous disco tracks, and later on, the house scene. Thats is why you can still hear a bit of disco and house influences in my music :) I don’t stick to just one style of music, all depends on my mood, when I start to produce a new track.
In the early 70s I started DJing.
In the 80s when mixing of the records, was introduced I started mixing tracks.
Late 2017 I met a few people who were working as a dj and producing music, so I got inspired to start again producing music. This resulted in a few tracks released by several labels all around the world. And new tracks keep on coming :) Currently presenting my own dance program on www.24disco.nl, dreamstreamradio.nl, www.monsterhitmusic.nl and several
mixes are being broadcast on www.db962.nl, www.i-turnradio.nl and www.jammfm.nl, maxximix.com
