Bas Dobbelaer grew up with electronic music. His father introduced him and his brother Pascal Benjamin to techno by playing compilation CD's from Michel de Hey, Sandrien and John Digweed at an early age and even took him to his first techno party as an underaged boy. "I was smuggled to ‘Earth’ in Paradiso and heard my first live set by Nuno Dos Santos and Patrice Bäumel as '360 soundsystem'. This left such a lasting impression that I was instantly infected by the electronic virus.”
