House Classics

by Zen-dar

Received a House mixtape in 1988 and have been collecting Electronic Music ever since.
In 1992 started working at local radio station "Lokale Omroep Alphen aan den Rijn" (LOA).
Had many shows there, behind the scenes and behind the mic, amongst others the House show "Laserline", that name changed in 1996 to "Alphen Underground Beat" (AUB).
This show ended in 1999.
Bought Technics SL's in 1995.
Hosted an 8 hour live broadcast in 1995 from the Cultural Youth Center (CJC) "het Kasteel" of the Houseparty "Dreamland", organized by"Midnight Madness", with Steve Cop and Lady Aïda.
Also hosted the weekly House café night "Chill-Out Café" (also held at the CJC), adopted from party organisation "Midnight Madness", where local and regional DJ's performed live.
Also started working at CJC "het Kasteel" and became resident DJ for "Midnight Madness".
Organized the party "Love, Peace & Harmony" in 1997 with Godard (Waakzaamheid).
Played at different locations in and around Alphen aan den Rijn and Amsterdam, amongst others at the "Catacomb Studio", up until 2001.
The following years concentrated on mixing at home and collecting House records, period < 1997.
Since 2008 got the taste back for visiting "Old Skool" parties, such as House Classics Festival "Wooferland".
In 2010 came in touch with Facebook community "Huppels", from which the Old Skool organisation "Huppels Inc." (Huppels Included) was founded.
This organisation held a DJ contest for the opportunity to play at "Sugarfactory" Amsterdam, the first 4 DJ's on the list would get that chance.
Came in 2nd.
From that moment became resident DJ for "Huppels Inc." and played at many different parties, amongst others;
"The Royal Queensday Party 2011" at Q-Park, Amsterdam
"Platform Zero" at Panama, Amsterdam
"Sat.Is.Factory" at Sugarfactor, Amsterdam
and as icing on the cake played a set at House Classics Festivals
"Wooferland" and "The Promised Land Winter Circus".
Additionally worked on different live streams like
"Pickering FM", "Pure Radio", "db962", "Cone Studio", "Fnoob Techno", "Huppels Inc. Radio", "HouseBeats.fm", "AMW.FM"
and a 2 hour set at the home of the organisators of "Wooferland", which was live streamed as "Wooferland Pre-party"
All in all the "Huppels Inc." organisation excisted for a year and a half and went down as fast as it came.

Zen-dar doesn't want to call himself a DJ, because it isn't the DJ work what drives him.
He's simply a music lover who likes to share his passion for Underground Electronic Music and hopes he can let people hear some little gems, old and new.

He's not actively searching for DJ work and only plays on invitation.

Multi-Genre: If you want certainty, don't invite him.
