Martijn started deejaying years ago at The Planet (Spellbound's queer underground dance parties at OCCII), hosting its chill-out zone with electronica and spaced out beats. He got more dancefloor-orientated at Spellbounds Neues Nachttierhaus, a monthly electro-club in 2001 at Winston. Now he often plays together with DJ Toon, with whom he shares many musical obsessions...
