Prior to 2000 DJ Hakki Takki had no vinyl – only a lot of CDs. During his studies, he had a work placement for two months at Formic.De Records in Germany. Although they didn’t pay him anything, they handed him around 60 vinyl records when he left. From then on he got to know a lot more about labels and started to buy vinyl, playing it at the Errorkrew parties he organised with friends. He particularly likes to play music that people don't normally hear and that is also new for him. His mission? To create a wonderworld of sound and bring people joy and madness...

Real name?
Frank Schouten

DJ name?
Hakki Takki

How did you choose It?
When I played Squarepusher or Bogdan Razcynski in my room very loud, my brother would yell at me to "put that hakki takki music lower". So Hakki Takki came from the music I played, and from the Dutch "van de hak op de tak". Playing from the hak on the tak is the opposite of what DJs have to do maybe, so I think I’m more a Radio DJ than a club or dance DJ.

Vinyl junkie or CDs?
Both: noise/ambient and some Japanese labels are only available on CD.

How many records/CDs do you have?
They are in every corner of my room...

What style of music do you play?
Always difficult. I started with a lot of Warp and Rephlex stuff, than a lot of freaky electro bunker stuff but also chill-out. I always like experimental music, jamming madness, improvisational jazz, avant-garde, noise, acoustic electronics, 8 bit/gameboy music, minimal ambient... music that’s not a genre but in-between everything.

Where do you DJ?
I’m hosting Café Vaaghuyzen every second Wednesday of the month and also other ErrorKrew evenings; Radio 100 every Thursday from 19:00 till 20:30, DMF.nu (sending out from the Errorkrew radio studio on Tuesdays from 21:00 till 24:00), and I played a couple of times at TWSTD, Winston, Amuse, Afrika Pakhuis, Wilhelmina Pakhuis.

Your ideal DJ gig?
A full crowd of crazy people who like experimental breakbeats and yell all the time, with a good soundsystem at an illegal party.

Last record/CD you bought?
John Zorn, The Bribe from 1986. Music for a musical.

Current musical obsession?
Recording my voice and jamming with it.

Top 3 all-time dancefloor favourites?
Daft Punk - Revolution 909
Aphex Twin - Donkey Rhubarb
Squarepusher - Full Rinse (Featuring MC Twin Tub)

Worst request?
Do you have commercial music, something I know, something normal?

Favourite record stores in Amsterdam?
Staalplaat has moved to Berlin, Distortion, Boudisque, Rushhour, Subterranean music is gone, think I’m going to Rotterdam (V2/Clone).
