Bio
Have been programming electronic music since 1992. At first with a 4-track tape recorder and keyboard. Then from 1994-1998 with ProTracker on an Amiga500.
After that from 1998 with the Yamaha EX5. (still use that sometimes)
Got a PC and started working with Cubase from 2001-2003 (also still use that sometimes) and with Reason from 2003. (yes, still use that too, and give courses with it)
Started using ProTools and Logic while studying sound engineering.
Because of the all the possibilities modern music production brings, I like to experiment with any style of music and keep combining music genres of all kinds.
Some more history:
Formed TnJ with T-no.
In 1997 I was approached by Elias Khodabaks (TheMagicFriend), who was pioneering the house music party scene in Suriname back then, to do some live acts (the first in Suriname). I was known as "Jungle Jo" back then. As the party goers asked for hardcore a lot, I added distorted kicks and hardcore sounds (from G-Town madness) to some of my breakbeat and jungle songs and also created some new hardcore tracks.
Some artists/musicians/groups I worked with are Cedallety, Reinforcement, Rough Impact, N.I.T., Miztha EO, Yogi Dee, Raga B, The Mighty Crew, Slim, Marianne Cornet, JLC, RB & Mally, Sonny Khoeblal, Henk MacDonald (✝) and others.
