This man has such a long history it makes it hard to pour it into a few sentences. At the age of 19 Frank quit school to start his profession as dj . Playing 7 days a week in student bars at that time, mixing commercial music with influences of his greatest love ‘electronic based music’: we’re talking Acid, new beat, italo house here.
In the early nineties he decided to spin electronic music only and became resident of Belgian mythical underground club ‘Globe’. At that time he did about 5 gigs a week, being one of the most popular deejays of the Benelux. After the closing of the Globe, Frank became resident of another mythical club ‘Carat’, a meeting point of Belgian, Dutch, French and German party people, where he played 12-hour sets, and made the club as we know it today.
Despite his busy dj schedule Frank still finds the time to produce his own sounds. In 1993 he created Zolex’s ‘Time modulator’, a timeless classic, copies of which were sold all over the world. And there’s more: together with R. Reynders, M. Engelen (Praga Khan) and M. vd Heyden he released several tracks on the Antler Subway label ’ Dance Opera’. After that Frank started his own label ‘Zolex Records’. Soon he started playing at all big events, not only inBelgiumbut also in Spain, France, South Africa, Ibiza, the Netherlands and Eastern Europe. Meanwhile he became resident of techno house institutions like Barocci (NL), Katsu and frequently guest at Extreme, Cherrymoon and illusion.
It’s difficult to label his musical style: he spins from Techno to house to breakbeat to progressive, it depends what the crowd feels like, because he’s a dj who tells a story in his set, undoubtedly programmed, but brought by the heart & mind and mixed from the belly.
