About:
Growing up with a "musical" dad listening to Miles Davis , Coupé Cloué, Tito Puente , Barbara and their peers ,Kwak received his first shock discovering hip hop with SugarHill Gang and heavy rock with Motörhead.
The early house parties (for student mates) started at the end of the 80's. At the same time, he started rehearsing with punk – hardcore bands as a frontman with critical acclaim on the then flourishing belgian scene. Then, by 1994, he started organising concerts and parties and soon enough was programming dj's for the Kafé Kan'h in Brussels (From 1999 to 2004). In 2002, he started organising his own Strictly Niceness with teammate Dj Eleven, a monthly funk and soul party with crazy vibes taking place at the Biberium (Ex – Flanagan’s).
As a dj, he has crossed the wax with such international greats as Paul Murphy (Afroart Records), Nostalgia 77 and Quantic (Tru Thoughts Records), Cris Prolific (45 Scientifik), Gruyere Dj (New Cheese Records) and the cream of the crop among belgian dj’s : Bass Culture Soundsystem, Murvin Jay, Bernard Dobbeleer (Classic 21), Dj Simon Le Saint (PIAS/ Skinfama) Dj Piiit, Doc CLD, K’Bonus (Pulver Records), Snooba (Vinyl Amalgame), Onda Sonora Soundsystem, Brekbit (FM Brussel), Raggamuffin Whiteman, Dj Lefto, or Ipiki Ookami for example. He also played as opening act for such artists as Aka Moon, Alice Russell or The Peas Project.
Kwak is currently displaying his vibes in all and every bar in Brussels ( Roi des Belges, Cafe Dirty @ Dirty Dancing, Belga, Cafe Central, Bar des Clandestins, …), in Antwerp (Cafe Capital, Stereo Suschi, Vibes Bar, Cafe Au Lait, …), in Luxemburg … He is also broadcasting the BACK TO NICENESS RADIOSHOW on Fm Brussel (www.fmbrussel.be) each and every saturdays from 6PM to 7PM.
Expect classics and discoveries, rarities and insanities in funk, soul, hip hop, ska, rocksteady and more… The next step remains to be written.

Hey! c'est juste une pure chance pour toi ce mois de novembre dit "brutal"...
XXX-tra ton ITV Sharon Jones! T'as juste du triper! Normalement programée avec forcément les Dap Kings au festival Fiesta Sète 2008... Chuuut!
Belles activités ici!
A quand une escapade punitive sur Panam'?
En prévision, c'est mon dimanche qui s'annonce "brutalement bon"... Spéciale Brownswood Rec. avec José James (je suis restée littéralement scotchée sur ce jeune homme et son 4tet cet été au Worlwide ;)), pur album également (sortie prévu Janvier 2008). J'espère que tu connais déjà... sinon check on myspace
+ Soil & Pimp sessions
+ G Peterson... bien entendu...

Tiens moi au courant
Bises

Hi hi mister!
Pour résumer, ce soir là... match de rugby + "La nuit blanche" à Panam'... donc, pas le meilleur soir pour remuer les foules....
Cependant, humainement et musicalment; bilan + que positif; un set parfait de Mr Marc Mc (signé Broken vibes comme on les aime) et flow unique de MC MG! Une belle ambiance avant le show... à l'hôtel...
Peu de monde mais... TOUS sur le dancefloor!
Les gars en sortant ont conclu "Gooooood vives" et on apprécié le public (un chouilla light mais K-rrément pointu!)
Voiloù mister!
Et toi mister.. quoi de 9?
