The soundscapes of this type of music just were so different and so amazing, it often triggered Sven to listen to underground radioshows. In 1996 he started buying records and developed his mixing and musical skills. At the age of 16 he started playing for audiences in small clubs in Haarlem. One of his first residencies was and still is at Club Stalker (Haarlem).

Club Stalker has always been an inspiring club where new styles of dance music can be heard in its early beginning, and where special foreign djs can be heard. In 2005 Sven started organising his own night at Club Stalker together with friend and DJ Gijs Tettero, called ‘Vastgoed’, and later on he organised ‘Haarlem Beeft’. In Amsterdam Sven organizes cultural parties named Club Cult. Writers, poets, actors and other type of musicians together with djs take a challenge, creating the unexpected and surprise audiences. Recently he also started a night at Club NL called Ballroom 2020. Furthermore Sven plays often at Chemistry and Divinity parties (Backyard). Regularly he plays at clubs and venues like Melkweg, Paradiso, Patronaat, Flexbar, Sugar Factory, Studio 80, Woodstock69, and Twisted.

Sven’s sound can be best described as a mix of House with a lot of funk and Tech-house/ Techno. The term recordfreak suits him well with checking loads of records online and offline every week. His intention is to always create an energetic dance floor and to make clubbing a special experience to people. Besides that Sven spends a lot of his time in the studio with different colleagues, so watch out for his first releases this year!
