De Kunstenaar

Описание

"De Kunstenaar" is the Dutch term for "The Artist". But why did he choose "De Kunstenaar" as his name? That’s because of his second hobby - which is that he likes to paint. Music is art too, so here we are. A few months ago, "De Kunstenaar" started creating tribute mixtapes, mainly to expand his mixing capabilities to the fullest - and to be clear, meaning no offence to the artists - it was not his intention to make the audience think these mixes were made by the artist(s) themselves. It's disappointing not every artist sees it like this. Well, his life certainly is a 4-beat loop: Eat, Work, Love, Sleep. And this in repeat mode. Most mixes by "De Kunstenaar" are based on a 4-beat loop, because that is so nice and easy for the brain to listen to. His love for electronic music started when he first entered a club called Zillion, in Antwerp (Belgium) back in 1999 or 2000. He admired the DJs that played there - and all he could do was dream about standing behind those decks himself one day - no matter how much effort it would cost. Of course Tiësto was his great inspirer in those days :) These two sets of his are my absolute timeless favorites.
