Monokreck describes his style as "open minded house, from glitchy microhouse to deep techno, and all in between". Melting many styles of electronic music together to create a warm atmosphere on the dancefloor.
Op vrijdag 26 december zal VOLTT dit jaar nog eenmaal goed uitpakken voor een knallende afsluiting van 2008. Op 2e kerstdag zal de Paradiso namelijk in het teken staan van VOLTT met een hoop vooruitstrevend talent en gerenommeerde artiesten.
In navolging van het overdonderende geweld op het tot nok toe gevulde CLiCK feest tijdens het Amsterdam Dance Event krap twee maanden geleden, maakt de organisatie zich op voor een nog meeslepender en vooral intiemer spektakel.
De jaarwisseling neemt altijd een beetje spanning met zich mee, meestal met de grote groep dierbaren die je hebt is het altijd een beetje onderling onderhandelen. Wel uit, niet uit, wel thuis, niet thuis, wel afteren, niet afteren, wel werken, niet werken...
Both Aron Friedman and Brent Roozendaal had already been making quite a name for themselves in the Dutch partyscene, before their paths finally crossed in 2006. Aron as co-founder of Amsterdam’s renowned techno nights Traffic and Mono, and Brent as the driving force behind the cutting-edge Moodengineering events in the East of Holland. Only when fate brought the two of them together for a seven hour ping-pong set at Doornroosje’s small hall, did they discover their mutual destiny. Neither one of them had ever connected so perfectly to another deejay before. Frankly, they’d both met their musical match, and thus a new deejayteam was born.
As a tribute to their Jewish ancestry, Brent and Aron decided to use Mesjokke as a new moniker – deriving from ‘meshuggah’, the Yiddish word for crazy. And crazy is probably the best way to describe their eclectic deejaysets – the two of them incorporating anything from deep minimalistic techno to jacking house grooves. But simply saying Mesjokke is all over the place, wouldn’t fully describe the power of their deejaying. The strength of these two lies in their ability to anticipate on one another’s musical directions. A constant flow of call and response is what keeps the dancefloor at the tip of their toes, making each and every Mesjokke-set a unique and pleasant journey through dancefloor-insanity.
Over the last year and a half, Mesjokke’s endeavours have taken them to several national and international locations, including Barcelona and Cologne. The future holds even better prospects, with their Crackhouse project fully taking off this coming fall. Luckily, both Aron and Brent are modest by nature. Despite their neverending string of success, their motto remains: ‘It’s nice to be Mesjokke, but it’s more Mesjokke to be nice!’
