The Story Of..

Gert Jan Poelman...

was started with mixing in 2004.

He started with a friend a drive-in show called 'explosiv drive-in'. It was a great succes, and for a few years they had many party's. From little party's to bigger party's, from classic party's to schoolparty's. The two dj's called themselves Dj Kratoz & Dj Myth.

After one year, Kratoz wanted something more. He bought? himself some personal Cd-players and a mixer, and started whith mixing electronic music. He played dance and trance. However,? the mixer didn't had equalizers, but was it perfect to practice with beatmatching.

After a while, he wanted something more. His cd-players were not good enouph, and he sold them. A local dj in his village also had 2x Pioneer CDJ 100s. Kratoz turned with these players and he was in love! For a long time he wanted the Pioneer CDJ 100s. So he bought one! Very enthousiastic about the fast cue an play buttons. He also had his old mixer, so he bought also another mixer. The release of the Pioneer DJM 400 was known by Kratoz. Nobody knew the release of one of the new pioneer mixes, but Kratoz had a great feeling about it because the DJM 300 was too old to be sold. Well, It was true, the DJM 400 was Released. After a month of reading previews en reviews about the DJM, he bought the mixer. The mixer was great!

Kratoz was changed from style. Now he turns Hardstyle.

A few months later, he needed something to turn with. He only had the CDJ 100, so he asked an opinion from others. Everybody said, that tt's are still in, and that the mixing on vinyl was very great. So he tryed it! Again He was in LOVE!!! Vinyl was the best he ever had mixed. So he bought himself some Turntables.

This year 2005/2006 Kratoz has mixed in a few Clubs. The Club 'Skopje' in Beilen, and Club 'Danceworld' in Wildervank. Danceworld had an Dj Contest, and Kratoz won the first price! He was very happy, He finally had a good feeling about his hobby. 5 months later, he had the chance to turn @ a dj contest in Skopje! It was a contest with 25 dj's. Kratoz turned 4 times, and he came in the one last final round. But he didn't won. But he had a great experience.

In all the time to now, Kratoz pulled up his Experience and is turning Hardstyle on Vinyl. He's promoting himself more then ever, and he's becomming bigger. Kratoz got the chance to work @ an Artist Management called 'Exclusive Solutions'. This was a breakthrew. 2 months later Kratoz was informed by Talent Factory. This is also a event manager, and they need Dj's for hardstyle party's, well could it better? This is a great start voor a dj after 4 years.

Another month later, he read an advertise on the website www.musicincontrol.nl. At this website you could download livesets and you can get informed about party's or events. They needed new people for working on the website, and needed people who had experience with judging mixes. Young talented dj's could send there mix, and Kratoz is the person who now is judging the mixes. He's a member of the MIC Intern.

Kratoz is now becomming bigger, and tries to get more contacts.
