AIRWAVE BIOGRAPHY Airwave lived in Brussels until he was 20 years young, experimenting with computers and synthesizers at his home. After sending his first demo to Bonzai records, he became one of the artists of the new age in electronic music.
After the first small successes with PLG, North Pole, Montera and Magnetix he had his first breakthrough with the first release of Fire & Ice. He decided to move to Antwerp to concentrate on his productional work. The first results were new releases for Fire & Ice, Planisphere and Meridian. After that he evolved more and more to become a real professional artist by producing both Airwave and Body-Shock.
All that together with the launch of Bonzai UK made him an instant star in the progressive and trance scene. Besides all that he was also commissioned to make remixes for Yves Deruyter, Da Hool, Aurora, Solar Stone, Blue Alphabet,...
Airwave has always essentially been influenced by the roots of electronic music, since the early beginning : from Kraftwerk to FSOL. Great producers as Jarre, Orbital, Oliver Lieb, BT,... are still taking his breath away.
He defines his musical style as .pure electronic dance music. which is a result of many years of discovering and getting inspired by his musical heroes, whom he calls .the gods of technology....
