Mystique

started out his musical career seriously in '98, performing with a hip hop group. Although they made some noise locally, they broke up after a few years because of several musical differences.
In the meanwhile Mystique developed more as a complete dj. " I have no problem in being classified as a party dj ", says Mystique, 'that's my passion and base'. I love to experiment and fuse Hip Hop and R'nB with different genres of music. I just play with it.
" Latin, groove, 80's, funky breaks and house, I'm not afraid to try something different."

This way of blending styles has become his trademark, building up a live reputation and steady fan-base. In 2006 he was the first urban Belgian dj ever to do a solo tour, filling up clubs all over the country, reaching over 5000ppl in only 5 dates. In 2006 he wanted to do something different : The MilkShakerz ! For this unique approach of Soul Music, he joined forces with soulbrother N8N ( dj and singer with Cookies and Cream). In a short period they have created an exciting vocal dj-set !

Mystique's pioneering style "urban eclectic" got noticed by the biggest promoters such as: MTV networks, Fever, I LOVE TECHNO, TMF, ID&T, 5 voor 12, Gentse feesten, Sfinx festival, Orkest van vlaanderen, Antilliaanse feesten, Eskimo, Polé Polé, Culture Club, Café d'Anvers etc.

His name is linked to many highprofiled residencies/events throughout the country:
Rendez-Fou, Déjà-Vu, TMF Coolsweat, Laundry Day, Mobnights, Tomorrowland, JIM TV 411, Issues, Love Below, Bonthuys...
He has shared the stage with international urban top artists such as Nina Sky, Fat Man Scoop, Truth Hurts, Erick Sermon, Clipse, Postmen, Scratch Perverts, Maceo (De La Soul), Cutkiller, Jazzy Jeff, Cashmoney, Starflam, Dj Vadim, Xela, Robin S, etc.
He has produced mix-cds, and has 2 new releases : 'Busy Like That' and 'Miami is not Ibiza' featuring TLP.
Always with the freshest and latest tunes, look for Mystique playing what you want to hear !

Krizz

Born on 27th of february 1980 in St-niklaas ,Belgium.
Started out at a very young age with his love for music.
While other youngsters where playing with toys ,he was already experimenting with old record players ,taperecorders and other stuff that he found in the attic or at junkyards.
Since his youth he had the compulsion to entertain people ,family and friends.
At the age of ten he started spending all his savings on records that he bought in various record shops.
In 1993 his young Dj career got a boost when his dad who worked as a bouncer at a VIP-night club convinced the owner to give him a chance to show his skillz.

In 1996 Dj Krizz was already one of the most wanted Dj's at party's ,event's and club's.
Then in 1998 he decided to take his Dj skillz to another level.So he hooked up with Dj's from the underground to have a better look in to the urban musicscene.That's how his skratching , mixing improved and also became an interesting mc.
With Dj Roy with whom he worked for several years they had numorous party's where people where coming from everywhere.

One of his dreams came through in 1999 when he opened his own record store.
Through all the contacts that he had build up and his experience that he got through his recordshop and the scene , Dj Krizz knew there was more in to this game then what he just had achieved.
So in 2004 he went in to the show business and started out as a Dj for different artists like Kaye Styles with who he did the warming up for the Christina Aguilera Back to Basic-tour.
Krizz got one ultimate goal and that is to continue to do what he does best and that is setting the dance floor on fire everytime he touches those turntables.
His most remarkable element is the fact that he can combine and play all type of music from urban to dance to 80's to latin.
When Dj Krizz is on the Wheel there's no music boundary to hold him back.

Black Frank

Not only he's a good friend of TLP, also behind the decks they can find each other in the music...
Both dj’s are playing regularly together at Culture Club, but Black Frank is spotted at many other hot and trendy urban parties all over the country, such as :

Charlatan (Ghent), Twins Beach Party (Bredene), Polé Polé Beach, Coolsweat, Suite 16, Decadance, City Queens, Gentse Feesten, ...

B-Kay

Born on the 25th October 1983 in Oostende.

It all started in the year 2000 when this young dj who already had a major love for hip-hop & 90's R&B decided it was time to take this love for music to another level.
After having friends introduce him to the dj'ing world & teaching him about the equipment he was immediately motivated to buy his own stuff, so he saved up to get his first technics turntables and a wack mixer, so he could start learning the basics. At that time the only place where R&B/Hip-Hop was getting clubplay was @ Le Dome in his hometown where he had a major influence by the dj skills of Dj Sake. That motivated him even more to think outside the box & develop his skills not just as a mixer, but also as a turntablist.
After months practicing how to mix, scratch & juggle he got his first break in 2001 @ Le Dome to play alongside the dj's that played R&B wednesdaynights during the summer. After his success over there, he got his own R&B/Hip-Hop room upstairs where he rocked the club every week for about 2 years.
In the meantime interest of other promotors started coming and bookings all over Oostende & the Belgian coast.
In 2003 he got his first residency in Ghent @ the well know Ex-Winners club called 'the crib'. After making a name for himself in East-Flanders, he got more breaks outside the Belgian coast and starting getting more & more respect from other fellow dj's.
His major break came in 2003 when he got the chance to be resident @ the hottest club in Oostende called 'Carre Beach'. From then on, people really gave him the respect he needed as a dj and his ability to rock the house & make people dance like crazy all night long. At Carré, he did the warm-up & afterparty for artists such as Magic System, Kaye Styles, Daddy K ...

Jimmy.P

was born in Ostend on the 4th of November 1986 and he always had a real passion for music.

As a teenager he started to mix tapes with a own pitch modified player. @ the age of 15 Jimmy P bought his first real DJ equipment and started playing vinyl's.

In his last year at high school he joined Sensei Sound Sessions, a local DJ-team. His position in this team forced him to play several different music styles, this improved his technical DJ skills. At that time he started playing at bigger parties, some of witch Sensei Sound Sessions organised themselves. Jimmy P became a allround dj who likes to mash-up several styles like Electro, House, R&B, and classic 70 - 90's dance tracks. 3 years later that same DJ-team team changed name and started organizing bigger events and specialized professional sound and light rental. AMUSE was born (Allround Multimedia Service & Event Business). AMUSE became a well known party fact at the Belgium coast, it helped several clubs and organisations organizing big events. Spring 2007 he started as resident DJ at TAO Ostend, a big club lounge bar.

At TAO he can do his thing, mashing up several styles and giving the audience a good party night.

Neon,

real name Stijn D'hont,was born in Destelbergen,near Gent in 1985.

Destelbergen was known for the "Boccaccio life", the famous new beat temple in Belgium.
Living that close to this extraordinary club changed his way of living: It's the music that counts.
In 1995,at the age of 10,he started buying vinyl. In those days PhiPhi,Yves Deruyter & Marko were his big influences...
After organizing his own parties, Mike Thompson offered him a dj set @ the legendary Cherry Moon in Lokeren. His first clubgig at the age of 15! Meantime, Neon was also doing his thing on the radio. He had his own item called "de vaste klant" on C-dance: Everyday he took some new records and played them on the radio with a little info. It didn't take long until he got his own show broadcasting every night on C-dance Gent.

His radio appearance influenced his dj-career: He got the opportunity to start playing at his favourite club: The former Boccaccio that was called The Temple at the time. In 2003 he became one of the warm up deejays. One year later, he left C-dance for the biggest dance radio in Fladers: Topradio Starting with a weekly dj-set,Neon soon got his own daily spot on national radio hosting his own radioshow called "The Nightclub".Later that year he started his show Update. This show is still on air everyday from 8am giving you an "update" on the hottest new music.

At this moment Neon is still making his way into the Belgian nightlife and beyond: His story isn't over yet,that's 4 sure...

DJ Licious

Dj Licious, born in Antwerp, likes his music to do the talking.

"For the love of house & music" has been his trademark since the beginning, and this love only grew stronger when he visited the magical island called "IBIZA".

He played with people like Roger Sanchez, Felix da Housecat, Junior Jack, Mr. V, Bodyrox, Seamus Haji, Soul Central, Didier Sinclair to name only a few...

Licious is a weekly resident at NOXX & regular guest at Industria & Stereo Sushi. So no need to tell you that this man has proven his mixing skills to Antwerp city and is slowly but firmly conquering foreign countries like the Netherlands & UK.

He's an official resident of the great Ministry of Sound concept and well-known from party's like 'F*ck Saturdays', SHOMI, Defected in the House, LISTED, ...

Together with his good friend Sakso who always gives that extra touch to the sets of Licious with his sax, they form an incredible duo.

There are few places nowadays that still have a roof left when they had a visit from these two. No way that a crowd doesn't move to their combination of beats, funky sax and groovy rhythms...

They always want the crowd to enjoy themselves cause after all - It's all about you and the music.

Delafino

Presently he's dj @ club MOTEL, Antwerp.

Delafino is part of the Belgian HED KANDI DJ-crew.
On this amazing party-concept he shares the decks with Tom de Neef, Mark Heyninck and many other well-known (inter)national dj's in the most exquisite clubs and discotheques such as : NOXX, Stereo Sushi, Carré,... FOR THE LOVE OF HOUSE !

Soulspinnas

Two dj's, two friends, one passion: house music.

Both Uncle Funk as Sergeant Pepper played their music in and around the town of Ostend at local parties until their roads crossed. Their love for music brought them together and produced a mix of deep, soulful and jackin' sounds, which led to a stunning collaboration called 'Soulspinnas'.

Although they’re still very young, Soulspinnas collected some impressive references you might know them from : La Nuit, Tomorrowland, Stu Bru 'Switch', Decadance, Café Capital, Rector Ghent, ...
