Of course I knew disco and dub from years before but I never heard such a radical new sound like house. It blew my mind!

For me nightlife is like everyday life's mirror.

I was born in Belgium and moved to Amsterdam when I was 17. I am not a Calvinist Dutchman but a Catholic Belgian. I think that makes a big difference.

That has always been my biggest ambition. To bring people together. To achieve a family spirit. Because then, you can actually do anything, because people are open to what they feel is real.

In the daytime, you act the way you should act because that is what people pay you for, or want from you.

I probably am very sensitive for energies that come together at the right moment. And that energy, I like to transform it into a party or a club. Something that becomes real.

I believe that the Belgians do possess some surrealistic gene.
