Pirrès

Pirrès can be considered as one of the greatest talents in the current Belgian house scene. Already for 16 years in the business!
After working for 8 years in one of the last vinyl record stores in Antwerp Wally's Groove World and also despite his young age he already made his mark on the nightlife and convinced many clubbers of his passion for music and granted many party people passionate memories. Since the last 2 years he started in collaboration with Arne (Sunday Matinee) a quality deep house concept called iN yOUR fACE in Antwerp & Brussels.
His own unique style (let us say a very apparent style of house music) and his technical abilities have made him a popular guest on many quality inspired house concepts over the years. His name and fame are easily spreading over the borders. House lovers of France, Swiss, Spain ,Holland, Atlanta, Germany, Austria, the UK and even Kazakhstan have had the chance of welcoming this new star.
And last year his debut on Silver Network (one of the top classic deep house labels from the world winds 1999) with a remix for Subb-an!!! Soon an EP will follow.

What makes Pirrès rise above other dj's is his own signature sound. His love for electronic music ranging from unknown gems and carefully selected releases that suit his intelligent musical ideas. Genres like deephouse, electro, minimal and acid can be found in his versatile sets. The only guarentee he promises is the presence of black soul that will leave no listener untouched! His musical vision promises every listerner an unqiue journey into his black mind... .

He has shared the decks with all household names in Belgian club land and played alongside international guests as Peter Kruder & Dorfmeister, Laurent Garnier, Carl Craig, Henrik Schwarz, Miss Kittin, Tiga, M.A.N.D.Y, Tomas Anderson, Dj T, Booka Shade, Konrad Black, Pete Herbert, 2020 Soundsystem, Jef K, Erik Rug, Sound of Young New York, Ralph Lawson, Tim Paris, D'julz, Riton, Mj Cole, Theo Parrish Kenny Hawkes, and many others.

Pirrès has been invited by all major Belgium clubs to spread his sound. He was a resident at several concepts at different major clubs as REX club (Paris), Fabric, Atonium, Café d'Anvers, Café Capital, Culture Club, Decadance, Joan Collins Club and Petrol, where he is one of the 5 voor 12 residents. He is one the organisers of one of the last true underground concepts in Antwerp titled "AMAI" together with Koenie & Christian Lioret.

With over twelve years of dj-experience Pirrès is rapidly loosing the status of "talent" and can already be hold his own amongst Belgium's finest dj's. So weekend after weekend he spins his sexy records and creates fond memories with the nightlife people who attend his performances.

Originally from Bornem but he soon realised that the town was just too small so he relocated to Antwerp where he still lives and mostly plays. He immediately scored a residency in 2002 at Antwerp's premier house temple, Café d'Anvers where he showcased his skills and unqiue record selection for some time. After this breakthrough in his new hometown he began conquering all other Belgian cities such as Gent, Brussels and Luik and so his name became widely known in Belgium.

Pirrès has been a guest a different festivals such as Ten Days Off, Laundry Day, Rock Werchter and other local carnivals where he played for some diverse crowds. One of his mixes has aired on belgium's most popular Radio Station "Studio Brussel" this broadcast gained him national recognition. In 2006 Studio Brussel even crowned him the best debut performer at the legendary Ten Days Off festival.

2006 also saw him become titled as one of the "Six from Antwerp" meaning the six leading dj's/organisers in the Schelde town. The new year promises to be another exciting chapter in this young musicians career with bookings all over Belgium and surrounding countries.
