'A down to earth guy in the week, his beast awakes in the weekend on the Decks ::..

History :

..:: He started playing music at the age of 11, with hip hop and rap music, so he learned how to scratch and mix really early..
Since 1992 he started to develop a huge interest in any kind of house music; Techno, Elektro, Hardtrance, Hardstyle, Trance, Drum & Bass, Trance, TechHouse, u name it, if it can move a crowd he loves spinning it....!
From 1995 he played mostly hardcore. In 1996 he was Dutch Hardcore Mixing Champion where he won his Technics 1200's and a mixer in Topa Club, Geldrop. After that he started playing for Shadowlands, for who he played some locations in the south of Holland, like the Carte Blanche in Weert, Beursgebouw Eindhoven, Zeche Bochum and lots of other venues. After 2 years of some good successes in the Hardcore scene this scene pretty much died.
Since 1994 his wide interest in Dance music drove him to buy a lot of Trance, Club, Breakbeats and Techno, but he finally really found his was in the Hard-trance / Hardstyle, Techno and lately also in Elektro.

..:: In 1996 he started to organise 'Hardhouse' (which at the time included Hardtrance, Techno and Tekkno) party's under the name of 'Technosis', which were and are a big success and Erick's excellent vision for new music he unawarely made the foundations for the Hard-Dance Scene in The Netherlands...
