Oliver Twizt

2009-08-07T18:16:00.000-07:00

Born in Bilthoven and raised in Utrecht, Oliver Twizt aka Joel Rene became hooked to music on a very young age. Music played a big role in the family and it was his uncle, a music teacher, who introduced him to his first music software. Oliver started with making Hip Hop, R&B, Uk Garage, mash ups & bootlegs and slowly fell in love with house music. His producing skills gained great growth in time and he developed a kind of dance-floor booming formula. In this period he met Edin Ibrahimovic and together they formed the duo Skitzofrenix. Although he was quite invisible for the outside world, he was the founder and producer of the duo and responsible for tracks like Damn it, Turn da f*cking beat up, Wake up call, Bring the noise, Erick E’s “Beat is rocking” remix, Gregor Salto’s “Curtir” Remix etc. After this advantageous collaboration, his decision was made and the solo artist Oliver Twizt was born! Now that he produces as well as spins under the name of Oliver Twizt, he showed in a short time that his new sound gained a lot of popularity both national and international. Where he stopped with Skitzofrenix he continued and proved that his new sound comprises a new dimension. Oliver Twizt ‘s first release “DO THE MONKEY” ft. MC ROGA (on Spinnin’ Records NL), scored big time (reached 4th position in the DMC Buzzchart only in his pre-release phase ) and is licensed in countries like Germany (Tiger Records), Spain (Electric Spain) and Italy (Cinnamon Flava). The massive hit is supported by Fedde le Grand, Roger Sanchez, Tiesto, Carl Cox, Axwell and Judge Jules to name but a few! As a DJ Oliver plays a combination of deep-house, minimal, Chicago-, Detroit- and tech-house. One thing that’s very important in his record choice is the fact that they must contain a high dose of Underground! That’s why he plays a lot of own productions, but also artist like Lucio Aquilina, Worthy, Joseph Capriati, Claude von stroke, Massi Dl, Johnny D etc. In 2008 we can expect a lot from this young lad, besides loads of new tracks, Oliver Twizt will start his own label; Dark Knight Recordings, which will be a sub label from Gregor Salto’s G-rex Music. The label will be the home base for all minimal, deephouse, techhouse, techno and experimental producers who are down with the OT sound. Hard working Oliver wants to show that his productions will gain international respect and that’s his main goal this year! OT is determined to give a TWIZT to the dance music industry! Keep an eye on this young lad!!!!

Musically, Scott started off with the acid house beats, then moved onto the hardcore which progressed into drum and bass, Scott, still spinning all over the country, found Ibiza in 1992 where the house music was big in force.

From his return to England, Scott then played house and has never looked back, till this day house music it still is! Scott has played in over 30 London clubs, and nearly 20 countries and played along side some of the biggest names in the business and some of the biggest clubs and promoters too.

Scott has now locked horns with Kev McCarthy to create there own music and sound in there studio, which they built together and also with DJ partner That Disco Kid too, collectively known as Phunk Solution.

Mark Knight & Funkagenda

2009-07-30T16:24:00.000-07:00

Mark Knight’s rise to number 42 in the DJ Mag Top 100 Poll (2008) has been more than just gigs and remixes. Not content with the status quo and outdated DJ ideas and methods, he created his own workshop for 21st century dance musicians, Toolroom Records, and with it a new way of thinking
Established in 2004, the Toolroom imprint has developed into an uncontrollable beast, forging an insatiable, genre busting sound, celebrating success as the biggest selling label on Beatport and reaching the milestone of 100 releases in 2009 with none other than Faithless as new label artists. All this on the back of 2008’s record breaking, award winning anthem ‘Man with the Red Face’, a remake, with label buddy Funkagenda, of the Laurent Garnier classic.

Funkagenda is an outstanding talent, his sets can go from light and funky to dark and dirty in a seamless way that few Djs can pull off. Maybe its due to the fact that 50% of the records he plays are his own productions, which are without a doubt up there with the best! If asked to quote a name to watch for the future, Funkagenda is the first we think of..."

And there’s more! Since 2006 ‘Toolroom Knights’ has provided the most visible, and hedonistic, face of Mark’s increasing popular clubbing brand, with concept led events in the world’s premier arenas from Cocoon (Frankfurt) to Space (Miami). It is testament to the popularity of Mark Knight the DJ that after a summer residency at Amnesia Ibiza in 2008, he currently holds court bimonthly at Ministry of Sound (London), the spiritual home of Toolroom Knights and also where Mark got his big break as club resident in 2003, as well as having recently confirmed new residencies at Pacha (New York) and Vanguard (Los Angeles).
