www.myspace.com/djaneakbal Always little funny to write about me, but here we go.. I started playing music at the age of 3, playing the flute for 15 years and the sax for 7. As well my whole life I have been very much involved in dancing, took my first ballet-classes when I was 7, and at the age of 17 I went to the National Ballet Academy, but never finished it, the music was calling me… In between the years 1994 and 1996 I helped out producing techno-events and was working as a gogo-dancer in several night-clubs in Holland, but than, in January 1997 I went to my first psy-trance party and that day I knew what my mission was. The next day I bought my first vinyls. Not much later I moved to the ELF-squad in Amsterdam, famous for the parties we held there weekly. This squad was inhabited by 150 freaks from all over the world, dj’s, musicians, artists, clothing-designers, travellers, etc. What an experience those years were! In those days the career started getting form, got to play in several clubs in Amsterdam and in the summer of 1998 I went to Ibiza to spend the season there and play at some of the out-door events. Than, in between November 1998 and August 1999 I got to play my sets in Germany, Spain, Amsterdam and London. In November 1999 I decided to go to Los Angeles for a year. Another new adventure! Got to play in Los Angeles, San Francisco and at some real amazing desert-parties, like the Burning Man. In the summer of 2000 I went back for another season on Ibiza, could not resist the charmes of the island. After the season I lived in Valencia / Spain for some months and than the journey continued to beautiful Mexico. Fell in love with the country and ended up staying there for 5 years. During these years got to play all over the Mexican Republic and Guatemala. Than, my desire to produce has gotten so big that I decided to go back to Europe, buy equipment and start doing it.. Ever since being back I got to play in countries like Germany, Switzerland, Romenia, Greece, Holland, Belgium and Italy.. I uploaded some of my tracks on this page, none of them are the finished versions, but you can get an idea what it is I'm cooking here. I'm trying to create a sound that carries culture and emotions, usually somewhere in between the psy-sound and progressive, but as well lately I have started producing house-music..
