When I get a musical kick, I start my engines and I just go with the flow. What can we expect from you in the future? It really motivates me to see so much positive reactions on my work! I’ve already got myself a 80s synth, the “DX 7”, that’s already in some newer tracks after Ordinary Days. So many downloads! I never knew “Ordinary Days” could have so much response… All the money I get from this is going in new synthesizers and drum machines. Since the release of Lethal League I’m getting much support on my bandcamp page. Todd Edwards was the only artist that got me psyched because he was magically able to create musical, key-changing bangers, which almost no other housy “EDM” track has nowadays.ĭo you get a lot of reactions on ‘Ordinary Days’ via Lethal League players? Most of House music from the 90s until now are all founded on repetitive beats with bombastic sweeps and swipes. There is only 1 artist that got me in to this 4×4 garagy-house style, Todd Edwards. Much house artists like Kerri Chandler, Todd Terry and other older producers were a great influence to me. What are your biggest influences when creating new tracks? Could explain why I never really “deejay-ed”. I never had much interest to compose for publicity. Most of my music were different genres, I never intended to stick with a specific genre because I just made the music for myself. No Google or Youtube-tutorials were there for instructions, all I had was trial and error. This amazing piece of software taught me the basics of electronic sounds at a younger age in an internet-free era. I got a pc with a music tool called “ReBirth”. I remember my first tunes when I was 10/11 years old. When did you start producing your own music? Veen comes from my last name, Veenendaal, makes sense. ![]() Klaus was the name of a musician called Klaus Wunderlich and every time I killed someone I played an obvious tune of him. I’ve played a lot of Counter-Strike and used “Klaus” as nickname. Since then I always had interest in electronic sounds and started playing with them. When I was a little Klaus, my uncle got himself a TR-909 (“housy” drum machine) and I immediately fell in love with the punchy kicks and funky loops he got out of it. I grew up in a musical family almost every family member played an instrument. I’m currently a sound designer at an app company, where I mostly create sounds/music for apps/games.
