El Jay
EL-Jay’s name stands for L.J. (Lucas Josef).. born in Velsen-Zuid on the coast
near Amsterdam on March 10, 1956. EL-Jay has been DJ-ing for 41 year, not
continious but he was always’s fighting to get gigs.
EL-Jay's inital style
of music was found in Black-Music and Drive-in-discotheek in the early eighties
with Soul, Disco, Funk and Groove.. "a matter of fade in, fade out.." with
voice-overs. In present time, EL-Jay still an all eater of Progressive &
Trance Styles.
At the age of 12th he started orginazing with friends
school-parties, back in the days of 45 inch vinyl, The Beatles, The Who, The
Rollingstones and the old radio’s like the Telefunke, Philips or the Blaupunkt .
Luc’s DJ carreer was started and has never looked back.
The smaller
schoolparties grew into more substabtial local events in the late 1970's so
bought a old Ford Transit (without any driving license!) and was running his
drive-in-disco. Near the disco he also started a underground-music concept
covering genre’s like Pink Floyd, Lou Reed, Mike Oldfield, Rory Callagher, A
further 10 years down the line, Luc music progressed further into Rock,
Underground and Blues-Rock and is now loving EDM in the form Progressive,
Trance, Hard-Trance and Techno.
EL-Jay found his heart in Progressive
EDM after he met Jimmy van M on a party in Club Kremlin (Amsterdam). He loves
Trance but plays Progressive. After visiting the Awakenings parties he started
to love Techno. In late 2004, Luc was contracted on a German Fetish Scene and
became resident on 6 club’s in Germany, every 6 weeks another club.. playing
Progressive with Techno themes.
Another earlier passion of EL-Jay's, was
his online presence: 'Brd-Rec'. Starting from 2000 recording radio Dance
live-sets at Dutch FM Radio.. as at the time slam.fm were the only people in
Holland that were picking up these broadcasts, later ID&T Radio also began
to pick up these type of events along with 3Fm (JayDee & Robert Albers) with
Radio 538, with van Diepens Dance Department. In the East of the Netherlands he
got also was able to receive the German station 'Einslife' which boasts good
Dance music on saturday. Then came the time of the internet broadcasters such as
Di.fm. As Brd-Rec, EL-Jay joined moderating at http://www.URTranceZone till end of
2008. Who has not a set, recorded by Brd-Rec on his computer?
In 2002,
Luc starts his non-profit dance event organisation, with DJ GrandPa_JoaH, but
after one year they split, Luc continuing it to a succesfull high covering 64
Dance parties untill 2006 in the East of the Netherlands. 350 upcoming and new
