I always loved music and especially rhythms.
That's why I played drums (during 10 years).
Then, when the New Beat arrived, I immediately sticked to it.
I was listening to radio shows.
When I was 14, I saw live-acts by Amnesia, Conffeti’s & Lord of Acid.
In clubs, I was fascinated by the DJ.

I started mixing at 15 with a cassette deck and a CD player then 3 years later, I bought two turntables. Less than one year after, in 93, I played the first time as DJ. Since then, parties succeeded to parties...
I played aside big names of the Techno scene, eg; Deg, Tofke, Zzino, Creator, Franky Kloek, Yves Deruyter, Steve Cop, G-force, Kevin, Franky Jones, Tyrome, Youri, Dave Davis, TC Brain, Lady K & Thierry Tallier.
I played as guest in many clubs like La Bush, Zillion, Montini, Hexagone, Le Trébuchet, Goldeneye, BBC for a DJ contest, Barfly, La Villa, Zéro 5, Palladium, Metropolis and the Technofolie’s 99 at Spa.
I was resident at Tiffany’s (Mariembourg) in 94, at Boccatelli (Oordegem–Lede) in 96, at eXm (Walhain) in 99 and at the Blue Sky dance floor (Awan) in 2000. Nowadays, I play in my region for the mobile discotheque: Sono Paradise.

There's 3 years, I opened my own recording studio and manage two labels.
I also does live-acts (under the name of Hip-notic 303 and more recently; Furax Live !) with a unique concept: a real live-act (really played live), with remixes of all the best retro hits plus my own productions.
I did live-acts at Le Trébuchet, Hexagone, Palladium, Barfly, Metropolis, La Villa, Bal and Zillion.
A the present time, I'm on tour throughout south Belgium...
