I'm Brigit, Streamer, and gamer and I'm from the east of the Netherlands! I've been a huge fan of Hardstyle since 2005 and this scene brought me out of my shell. I can also just be myself! So I stream on Twitch and Monday morning my community wakes up to the Euphoric, Raw, and Early beats that thump through the headphones I am also an avid Truck Simulation gamer, which gives a mega opposite to my music haha!, and I am in a huge nice group of English people where im deeply friends with and have met in real life! I don't have a fixed subgenre, I turn from Raw to Early to Euphoric and I get a lot of positive energy from this!

As a kid, Joep first encountered the beats of harder style music during Primary School, and little did he know, it would become an unshakeable passion. From the bassline to the hypnotic melodies, this genre gripped Joep's soul and refused to let go. Fast forward to just a few years ago when Joep had the chance to step behind the decks at a friend's place. Immediately he was hooked. For his birthday, Joep received a DDJ-400 to start practicing which soon became an obsession. Amidst the contemporary beats and modern mixes, Joep remains captivated by the classical sounds of the early harder styles. Each track is a chapter, and every mix is a narrative that takes the audience on a sonic adventure. The harder style music that captured Joep's heart in the old days is now the driving force behind his creativity!
