John Miles described it perfectly: Music was my first love & it will be my last! 💓
It's a cliché, but still... 😉

Fil Dex 'Talk less, Dance More'
Fil Harmonius 'Chill Grooves for Slow Moves' The one and only Wednesday night concept in Antwerp! NO MUSIC NO LIFE!
(4)
Born and raised in & around Antwerp, Fil started listening to music at the age of 10. Every month, he was eager to listen to the tapes his father collected that contained all the new hits. That way, Fil developed his passion for sounds & music.
2 important reasons were the foundation for his love for electronic music, also called ‘House’ & ‘Techno’:
1 – Between 1990 and 1997, a lot of Belgian clu
bs were closed after raids from the police, and this was regularly shown on television in docu’s and news programmes,
2 – When Fil was about 13, radio stations started programming it (which was a very interesting evolution in (the rise of electronic) music!)
Searching for a decent hobby besides playing soccer, he dropped notes in all mailboxes in the neighbourhood, to ask for any audiogear ‘that was collecting dust in the attic’. 1 day later he went to get his first (Lenco-)turntables and mixer somewhere down the street. After a while he taught himself how to handle the ‘Dex’, and when he was 18, he had a residency or a couple of years, in a small bar at the border with the Netherlands, called ‘The Twilight Zone’. Between 2001 & 2004 he explored the flourishing nightlife in Antwerp, and that way he got in contact with lots of dj’s & promotors in the underground house & techno scene in Antwerp. Some time later, he bought 2 Technics SL1200’s…
While his love for groovy, melodic & funky techno & house tunes was growing, he was collecting lots of vinyls. By playing his new tunes at home and at afterparties in Antwerp’s city centre, he mastered the art of dj’ing. He decided to buy cdj’s, and go partially digital… First with 1xPioneer CDJ 400 + Pioneer DJM400 and 2 Technics, 8 months later he bought his second Pioneer CDJ400. As from 2012 he started throwing parties together with 3 friends, dj’s & producers VEnom, De*ago & Barry Coleman. At first they partied in a small venue, the basement from a cosy bar in Antwerp, called Izzy Maze. The concept was called ‘The Basement Bea(s)ts’, and their concept got known for the very cosy nights filled with superb tech-house & techno. After a while their parties got bigger and so they moved the concept to Petra’s Café and the Balcony in (what used to be) Antwerp’s finest club, Café d’Anvers. Friended dj’s and organisers asked Fil to play at several parties at Piaf & Petrol Antwerp. In 2015, Fil decided to team up with 3 friends, DJ’s Himperson, Breiworkz and Matarlo, and ‘Mittwoch’ was born. Also Arkline, Hermani, Bjorn Suss, Char Lott and Sam Kbam joined their resident team., which resulted in some full packed nights at Philly’s Bar Antwerp. The group fell apart but in 2021 ‘Mittwoch’ is still a strong concept, and at first, the concept introduced 2 new rising stars in the techno scene in Antwerp, Himperson and Arkline. The last 2 years, Fil received a lot of good feedback and so Antwerp can now count on a 3rd rising star, named Fil Dex! Fil enjoys combining all kinds of gear: give him vinyl, traktor, MP3’s or CD’s, it doesn’t make any difference. Nowadays he’s well known for bringing very groovy and melodic feel good music, a mix of deep-house , house, tech-house and tracks situated at the melodic side of electronic music. Moving into his own flat in Antwerp, gave him the opportunity to build his own music studio in his flat, and meanwhile he’s working on his own productions with Ableton. Looking forward to the first release!

Throwback Tuesday!
The 3rd of June last year was an incredibly sunny day!
On that cheerful day, I noticed that everybody was showing his or her best dance moves (@ the party where I was playing a killer set) on the Dam Square in Antwerp! 🥳
If you listen carefully, you can even notice that the roof went off, several times! 🤭
Relive that day, 'cause you can now enjoy, listen, and/or dance to my set from back then, because it's online as from today! 💃🏼🕺🏼
***Fil Dex puts the roof on fire! (Damplein - Antwerp - June 2023)*** on SoundCloud:
Time for a throwback to the 3rd of June 2023... They asked me to put the roof on fire... When I finished my set, I checked and it seemed like I delivered 🥳🕺🏼

A little corner in my living room contains 'The History of Belgian Nightlife', in other words: a collection of cd's, party- & club-memorabilia, including cd's like Serious Beats Vol 1, At The Villa People, Dance Opera Club Edition 1, Pharao Dreamland, La Rocca, Club X, DJ-connection 1&3, I ❤️ Techno, Fuse, Cherrymoon, Teknoville, Kozzmozz, Culture Club, Dirty Dancing, and (off course) Café d'Anvers & Tomorrowland 🙃 Which one would you like to hear? 🤪🥳

Let me know what you think!
I started collecting vinyl and experimenting with sounds in 1995, off course with the '1993 starter pack'!
In my humble opinion, you can't call yourself a DJ if you never tried to master the art of beatmixing on turntables...
And although I usually play on a Traktor S4 MK3 nowadays, if I'm asked to play a vinyl-only set, or if I encounter problems with the gear when I play a set at a party, I can easily adapt and play on whatever gear available, just because of the fact that I learned the art of mixing with turntables! Turntables are still the very best thing to learn the art of mixing music and sounds. When you can play on a pair of turntables, it's much easier to know & understand how to use (and how to work with) all other gear, from cd-players to all kinds of digital workstations!
And I still love vinyl, but I always say we should embrace the endless possibilities that are offered nowadays to be creative with music and sounds, instead of repelling them...
