Envotion consists of three people, Hugo Alberts, Laurens Alberts and Stijn Halfens.
Envotion will be dedicated to making music without compromise. Hovering between the musical and the pure dancefloor oriented approach they will deliver music with m..
Stijn
When he was only thirteen years old, Envotion (Stijn) was inspired by house music through a couple of friends. He bought some turntables and got started. Through the years Stijn explored several styles as house, dub, trance and club. He got inspired by labels as Vendetta, Joshitoshi, Motorbass and Junior.
As from 1999 Stijn focussed on his study "Communication and Multimediadesign". This study made his interest in producing music even bigger. That’s when he bought the tools to start creating his own music.
Organisations as Earth inspired Stijn during his search. The combination of (tech-) house and progressive were very appealing to him and it gave him the drive to produce this kind of music besides playing it.
As with most DJ`s it is difficult to place Envotion (Stijn) in a genre. Crossing musical borders is what makes dj`ing exiting to Stijn.
Envotion already performed @ events like: Paradiso, Panama, Extrema outdoor, Impulz, DanceHill, Tribehouse, etc.
Hugo
Back in 1987, Hugo started playing classical piano at the age of seven.
In 1994, he started working with MMEDIT, a ms-dos based music program.
This was actually what made him realise his passion for creating in
stead of reproducing music.
As a consequence, in 1995 he decided to cancel piano lessons and devote
most of his time to writing and producing music.
In 1998, Hugo began studying Psychology. During this period, he not only
spent time on learning about the human mind but he also got himself more
into audio and songwriting techniques. At this time, he and his brother
started to expand their own studio.
After four years, he succesfully completed his study and was asked to
work as a professional audio-engineer. During four months he worked on
several commercial pop-productions. Although he enjoyed this "full-time music" experience,
he decided to quit when he received another job-offer in 2003.
Since 2003, Hugo combines his job as psychologist with his passion for
music. Inspired by a great diversity of musical genres, he avoids
restricting himself to one specific style.
His work ranges from lounge to progressive house, from film compositions
to deep house.
Laurens
At age of 12 Laurens started making music together with his brother. While
experimenting a lot with various musical genres he developed his own style
and ideas about music. Beside his passion for composing, he also devoted a
lot of time to the technical side of music making; sound programming was his
way to create a unique vibe.
In 2002, Laurens started the study Computer Science & Knowledge Engineering.
This technical study increased his interest in sound programming even more.
As a consequence, he was often asked by other artists to give advice and
create specific sounds and synths. Though, producing music remained his
primary goal.
Nowadays, Laurens is influenced by record labels like Defected, Junior and
Bedrock. However, his work is not restricted to one style. It varies from
progressive to funky house and is often a combination of both.
