I-F (NL)
Forged in the squats and pirate radio stations of The Hague during the early '90s, his influence on electronic music is that rare thing - both foundational and ongoing. He's a musical shape-shifter with no allegiance to era or genre and has spent decades defining and defying dancefloors. From disco to acid, house to Italo, techno to cinematic synth oddities, anything goes so long as it moves people.His DJ sets are fierce and unpredictable. Electric journeys full of risk, soul and story. Whether on festival stages like Dekmantel, Draaimolen and Lowlands, or deep in the smoke-filled sanctuaries of Berghain | Panorama Bar, Tresor or Bassiani - he plays for the heads, the freaks, the late-night wanderers, and has done it everywhere. For I-F, boundaries do not exist. He is as likely to drop a disco anthem as he is to revive an obscure cassette relic, but always guided by feel, not fashion, and drawn from a lifetime of knowledge.
