A track I made in 1994. The original is a great way to start this podcast. 2 Public Enemy – You Gonna Get Yours: I took the bus, subway and tram to buy this album at a record store called Tinsel Town in Rotterdam. The first Public Enemy album. 3 Schoolly D – P.S.K. What Does It Mean: There was an ’88 hip hop documentary on Dutch television called ‘Big fun in the Big Town’ about early hip-hop. It ended with Schooly D performing with a DJ using only a 909 and a turntable. The 909 became the foundation for techno and is still widely used today. 4 Meat Beat Manifesto – Radio Babylon: When I heard Meat Beat Manifesto for the first time it blew my mind. Where are these sounds coming from? Who samples like this? It triggered me to do the same, sample sample sample. 5 Bob James – Take Me To The Mardi Gras: This was one of the tracks that inspired many hip hop artists. I also sampled it in Watch Me Now. Such a solid beat and break. I have this baby on vinyl. 6 Conrad Schnitzler – Zug: I heard it for the first time at a record store owner’s home. I was always hanging out in his store and we became friends. This was synthesis as I never heard before. I still love it! 7 Jean Michel Jarre – Oxygene II: You can't be into electronic music without having heard of Jean Michel Jarre. Out of this world compositions especially for that time. I listened to this in bed falling asleep many times. 8 Yello – I love You: The masters of sampling in pop music. All the greats were influenced by them. This track is off my favorite Yello album. I still play it sometimes. 9 Divine – Native Love: The first 12 inch I ever bought when I was still a child. My mom told me the woman on the cover was a transvestite. I couldn’t care less, I liked the music. This year I played it at an LGBT festival. The first record I ever bought 37 years ago. Amazing! 10 Amnesia – Ibiza: I was 16 years old at Parkzicht, Rotterdam when I heard this. That club started the gabber scene years later. This new beat sounded so fat, I knew I wanted to make music like this for the rest of my life. 11 Humanoid – Stakker Humanoid: When this came out I heard it more than 3 times a night and I couldn’t get enough of it. Those layers of acid sounds building and building. Relentless and impressive. 12 Lil' Louis – French Kiss: The ultimate house track. Nothing beats that rhythm of the chords and sexiness of the whole thing. I have the first pressing on vinyl and I will cherish it forever. Q: Within almost 3 decades inside the business you became a pioneer of electronic music. If you compare the past with the present: what changed most during the time? A: What changed things the most is the internet. Back in the day you would release on vinyl and had to invest to be able to release. Now anyone can start a label and start releasing any time. Social Media completely changed the game. No cool Instagram, no success as an artist. It is not only about music but how cool you are. The way you invest in your identity. You can basically buy your career. You still need talent though. So I guess moving forward is always better than looking back. Q: Which future projects are on the way? A: I have a new release out on Drumcode with Reinier Zonneveld called ‘Pain Thing’. Next release will be on my own label Gem Records. It’s the follow up to my Séance EP. Happy to get some of the new music I’m producing out there. We also have releases by Egbert and VNTM coming up. My radio show is also doing nicely. It’s called Gem FM and we are on Dutch national radio but also Soundcloud, Mixcloud iTunes. Guests include Pig&Dan who just joined the Gem Bookings agency, Bart Skils, Noir, Wehbba and many others. The future is looking bright and sparkly!
