ONEDEFINED (The Netherlands, 1993) – During the rising times of electronic music in 2008, it was inevitable to come in touch with house music. Dutch DJ’s and producers laid the foundation for upbeat sounds that would travel around the world – later to be known by the name of EDM. Techno raves and festivals were increasingly growing at the same time, taking the music from the underground rivers to the mainstream. Between best of both worlds, ONEDEFINED was born.

Techno made a big impact on ONEDEFINED. One of his first encounters with techno was at Awakenings and Time Warp in 2010 – the ringleaders of techno at the time. Responsible for serious impact when it comes to techno raves at large scale. A more cozy approach happened at Doornroosje, Nijmegen where the infamous Planet Rose nights programmed Chris Liebing and Monoloc. On these nights the darker but more intrinsic side of electronic music was revealed to ONEDEFINED, leaving a transformative imprint. After winning a global producer contest, a fully catered IBIZA Dreamtrip & Club experience followed in 2012, the same year FACK IT. came to light as golden key to overcome depression and trigger to organize the first and notorious Fack It – The Rave at the Hall of Fame in Tilburg.

ONEDEFINED’s music taste started with loud bleeps and bass – but matured after his techno clubbing experiences in 2010, resonating more with the consistency of tight four-on-the-floor beats and basslines. The unmatched mixing skills of The Advent, the power of consistency from Jeff Mills and the solid and low frequency basslines of Collabs 3000 (Chris Liebing & Speedy J) opened doors to a whole new but home-coming experience within the field of electronic music for ONEDEFINED. The endless musical creativity and revealed lifestyle of Paul Kalkbrenner and Richie Hawtin on top of that were great additions for the overall inspiration in creating an own sound.

A sound understood, but never heard before.
