BIOGRAPHY
The eclectic style of Mr Wix, the crate digging talent and the lack of fear to mix up different music gengres is what’s made him a well-known DJ in the Dutch scene. He had been perfecting his skills on the decks since the mid-nities but his career took off when he landed a residency at Paradiso’s ‘Baseline’, Amsterdam’s main Hip Hop/R&B club night at the time.
Soon after he launches his own monthly nights, 'Chocolate' in Off Corso, Rotterdam and 'Knockout' in Paradiso, Amsterdam. As Wix involves himself in every aspect from artwork to programming, Amsterdam soon witnisses Wix’s creative genious as he is able to use his regular gigs as a platform for his talents. His parties attract a fresh and funky crowd, and are always packed. Major moves are made in the creative arena. Wix sets up 'Bling' which was a partnership between him and Amsterdam’s upmarket club Jimmy Woo. When he started as DJ and co-host to VPRO's national radio show' 3voor12XL', his sounds infected the airwaves and the Internet on a weekly basis untill last year.
In 2005 Mr Wix introduces two new raw and sexy genres in the Netherlands, Balei Funk and Baltimore Booty. Creating a richer and more complete sound which keeps Mr Wix one step ahead in the alternative dance scene. His ‘filthy’ Booty sound insures Mr Wix’s status as a force to be reconed with in the future! A year and a half later, in September 2007 Mr Wix is asked to play at the art show after party of the critically acclaimed artist and graphic designer Piet Parra at club Le Paris Paris. The Baguette Frappant evening is born. Mr Wix, Parra ( form the Parra Soundsystem ) and the Pan O Chocolate crew from Paris, the Baguette Frappant evening becomes jet another monthly residency. Where Mr Wix plays a mix off Rock, Rave, Balei Funk, more Booty and Hip Hop. All recognisable as very Dutch, nasty yet sophisticated sounds. Soon they expand this night to Switserland where the crowd welcomes them in club Wasserwerk. The musical insight and originality of Mr Wix convinces Nike to ask him to become their musical consultant. A position, which he still holds today. He adds his freshness to Nike's various (inter) national ad campaigns and events (Panna KO, Nike Secret Tournament Campaign, Stick Man Campaign) Also Dutch jeans brand G-star asked Mr. Wix to be musical adviser and consultant for there Fashion Shows and other brand activities. These consultancy projects are a big step in the colourful world of Mr. Wix.
