Bart Skils's career started in 1995 when he moved to Amsterdam and
started working for Outland Records. First playing in Amsterdam's legendary
Mazzo club he became resident with his own weekly VOLTT nights. Known for his
smooth mixing and dynamic sets he steadily developed into one of Amsterdam's
finest and most respected DJ's. His style ranges from rhythmic techno to deep
minimal electronics, always funky and danceable. He is also founder and host of
the highly respected VOLTT, Traffic and Static events, all situated in
Amsterdam. Traffic is based at the famous Melkweg venue and focuses on the
classic techno sound while his VOLTT and Static events, based in Dutch
poptempel Paradiso and state of the art Club 11, are more minimal and smooth. With
regular appearances from artists like Steve Bug, Luciano, Richie Hawtin, James
Ruskin and Ricardo Villalobos the Traffic, Static and VOLTT nights are seen as
one of the leading club nights around with a great fan base and good
atmosphere. On the production level Bart has been active releasing on Pure
Plastic (London) and 100% Pure (Amsterdam). Both labels have a long history and
reached classic status through the years releasing artists like Mark Broom,
Orlando Voorn, Surgeon, Steve Rachmad, Shinedoe, Derrick May, 2000 And One and
Baby Ford. His typical deep driving production style didn’t stay unnoticed and
got charted and played by key players like Guido Schneider, Luciano, Adam
Beyer, Deep Dish, Villalobos, Loco Dice, Sven Vath, Mathew Dear, Richie Hawtin
and Dominik Eulberg to name a few. With his residencies in clubs like Paradiso
and Melkweg alongside regular gigs at all the major dance events and festivals
like Awakenings, Lowlands, Innercity, Pinkpop, Dance Valley, Extrema and 10
Days Off he's built himself a strong solid reputation for quality music. More
