Name: Brian.
Age: 30 Place I live: Den Bosch, a city in the south of the Netherlands, a 1 hour drive from both Amsterdam and Antwerp. Born and raised: Uden, also in Holland. Job: tv producer and editor. When I'm not doing that I try to make music. Into Electronic Music: As long as I can remember. In the late 70s and early 80s my parents used to listen to Jarre, Vangelis, Kraftwerk, Schulze and the likes when I was playing my lego's. I was really obsessed with the music, perhaps also because I associated it with space (like most kids of the early 80's I was obssesed with space travel, the future and anything associated with that...). After I got a radio with a tape recorder I just recorded anything that had synthesizers in it. There was no good recordstores in our town so for a long time radio was my only decent source for electronic music. Shopping vinyl was actually strange to me also because my parents already had a CD-player in 1983... they where so devoted to hifi electronics, my family didn't give a damn about vinyl which in retrospect is a true shame... But luckily we lived close to an american army base with it's own radio station so I was able to record early hip hop and later I discovered some decent public and pirate radio stations that could feed me even more. And finally, much, much later I was able to make my own electronic music, which would make the 8 year old me very proud of the 30 year old me :) (all I need now is a villa in the south of France and a lightsaber). Into detroit music since: I am not sure. I got aware of it's importance for the music I love around 1997 or so, and I discovered that a lot of the music I liked was actually from Detroit. I joined the 313 list for the first time I think in 1998, been subscribing and unsubscribing since. But I don't think you noticed anyway. Favorite Detroit artists and music: too much to name and too much to still be discovered. Favorite live act: nobody particular. I saw as many great live acts as I saw acts that should never play again. Electronic live acts I'll remember as the most impressive I've seen include Unit Moebius, Plasma Co., YourPyramid, Egyptian Lover, Dopplereffekt and UR. Favorite place to listen to music: my car. Not that I have one of them boom-cars or anything, it's just a great place to listen to music without getting really distracted.
