Jan Vervloet has been in the
forefront of the Belgian dance music scene for almost
10 years, but it al started much earlier
in the seventies !
Fooling around with daddys
records and tapes at the age of 5 is the beginning of
a successful career. Buying a Commodore Amiga computer and spinning at
local
parties is the second step.
After he graduates as an accountant
he follows his heart and starts to work in a DJ shop
in Mechelen. Meanwhile he spends every second of his spare time in his
little room
where his Amiga computer and Roland W-30 Workstation do the talking.
The first Jan Vervloet productions are born !
1992 is the real breakthrough
year : doing DJ gigs in almost every well-known
club in Belgium and releasing his first record (Bis-Art : Wrong
Is Right).
The first Top 10 record comes
already a year later ! Thunderballs Bonzai Channel
One is the biggest dancetrack of 1993. Result : live performances
and DJ-gigs in
Belgium, Germany and Holland.
With the money he earns as a
DJ he builds up a nice home-studio that becomes
his second home. Between 1994 and 1996 he releases more than 25 records
under different project names such as : Jopan, Protect System, Zone 1,
Thunderball, The Oblique
the list is endless !
(full listà check Discography)
To separate the commercial tracks
and the more underground releases he uses
the pseudonym D.-Jay Lux for his techno stuff. With the lux-trax
series he
receives international recognition in technoland (one of the D.-Jay
Lux tracks
was even selected by Carl Cox for his F.A.C.T. compilation).
As D.-Jay Lux he even produces 8 tracks for Marco Baileys
debut
album Global Warning.

In 1997 a weird instrumental
trance tune keeps the dancefloors pumping.
Yes indeed Afflitto, again a Jan Vervloet production hits
Europe.
To promote this track on the radio and TV he adds vocals to the track
and
founds the group Fiocco. In Germany DJ Kosmonova picks up
the Afflitto
track to reconstruct it as Celebrate. Between 1997 and 2000
Jan Vervloet
produces 7 Fiocco singles and a full-album which nearly all
reached
the Gold-status in Belgium.
While doing live performances
all over Europe with Fiocco Jan still manages to
find the time to start a brand new project : Scoop. The first Golden (even
Platinum)
record abroad is a fact. In 2000 Drop It becomes the first
Belgian number
one in Holland since Technotronic !
In 2001 Jan wants to focus more
on his career as a DJ. To promote this he
starts the project Neighbour DJs, together with his
neighbour Thierry Stevenart
(who is also a DJ) he releases Frequency.
Their first release becomes a real clubhit and gets even in the national
sales charts !
After all these years of hard
work and success Jan still is a much-wanted
DJ and producer. This summer 3 new releases are coming up ...
So watch out and enjoy !
