R.D.J. Hannema

Remmert Damian Joe Hannema was born in Manchester in 1971, at a young age he moved to Holland, where he has been living ever since. In 1988 his mother moved back to England and it was here that he discovered electronical music through mixtapes. He soon started buying vinyl, at first his interest went out to stuff on Kickin, Production House, Reinforced and Plus 8 amongst others. Later on he was influenced by dj's/producers on labels such as ltj Bukem's Goodlooking imprint, Dee Jay Recordings and the emerging sound of drum & bass. From 1993 he started to visit London on a regular basis and got into techno which was very popular in this city at the time. After visiting clubs like the Soundshaft and events as Megatripolis he got into pumping English, German and American techno on labels like , Proper, Tresor, Internal and Axis. These early years have really shaped his taste and it is the energy and the typical sound of this era complemented with the deep and somewhat industrial techno produced in the late nineties which is always present in his sets. These sets are a crossover between English and American techno
