Mikenzo

Mikenzo was born in the Dutch village of Veldhoven. He grew up listening to [a=The Beatles] and [a=Michael Jackson]. When he was eleven he was gifted a turntable which started his musical adventure. Inspired by Belgian New Beat, European House Music and Grand Mixer [a=Ben Liebrand] he started experimenting with mixing. In the early 90's he discovered the computer, synthesizers and [a=The Prodigy]. His focus shifted to Breakbeat music. He joined Dutch Breakz. This resulted in the release of 'Spiders (zephyr edit)' on the compilation '[r=168635]'. He toured the Netherlands with the 'Dutch Breakz Tour'. He formed the Big Time Beats collective to promote Breakbeat music in the Netherlands and won several DJ contests. At the start of the 2010's he decided to make the album he always wanted to make. He approached [a=Herman Witkam] to help him with the production and found a vocalist in [a=Phil Barkhudarov]. In 2011 they put out one track at a time and on 11/11/11 the album - appropriately entitled - '[r=4300321]' was complete. Mikenzo is currently working on his second album.
