Eindhoven Area, Netherlands
Boondock stands for an energising, uplifting and joyful musical experience with a good sense for crowd interaction. By playing with different energy levels he knows how to control the vibe and build tension for explosive peaks. Strategic track selection and preparations add extra spice to his sets and make them worth remembering, as he is always in search of new sounds to use for his upcoming performances.
The meaning of Boondock originates from the word ‘bundok’, meaning mountain. After the Spanish-American war it is used by soldiers and finds its way into the common English language. Musically ‘the mountain’ is a form of build-up used to rise the energy during a DJ set and symbolically a DJ can be seen as a “mountain” rising above the crowd. Adding up that dance music played a big peacemaking part in post-war areas such as Berlin after the Cold War and Beirut after the Lebanese Civil War, the history of the word philosophically relates to the evolution of underground dance music.
