Niels Kardol, born in Maasland the 28 of december. His passion and love for the harder styles started in 2008 after bringing a visit to the holy grounds of DEFQON.1 (Beach of Almere)
He started spinning the decks in 2014. His first appearance as Nowness was in the small town named Brielle in Club The Mix.
For more than 2,5 years he was resident DJ for this night club. A lot pioneers of the scene; names like Bass Chaserz, Deetox, Delete, E-Force, Ruthless Rebelion and Warface were listed on the same flyer as Nowness.
The biggest event for Nowness was Heaven Outdoor Festival in 2018. At this very moment he is a true member of the Real Hardstyle Radio team. Supporting the music that comes from within.
I'm a 25-year-old from Trier, Germany, who's passionate about Hardstyle music. I started loving this genre back in 2010 and haven't stopped since. By day, I work as a programmer, but my real passion is DJing. My style is a mix of Rawstyle and Xtra-Raw, creating intense and varied sets. I've been DJing for almost ten years, starting with an XDJ-RX1 and sharing Frenchcore mixes on YouTube. I've also streamed live on CoreTime.FM and HardBase.FM in Germany. Over the years, I've played at various events, not always focused on Hardstyle, but I always make sure to end with a powerful set. I've upgraded my equipment over time, from the RX3 to the Prime 4, and now I use three CDJ 3000s and a DJM-A9. This is the setup I used for my most recent mix. I also have a DJM-V10. In short, I'm all about challenging the usual, blending different styles, and fully embracing the hardstyle!
closeAs 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!
