Conforce is the moniker of 22 year old bloke from The Island of Terschelling. He is currently living and studying in Leeuwarden on the Academie voor Popcultuur, The Netherlands. He developed his passion for electronic music around the age of 10.
But his father owned a large collection of usual and unusual instruments like the bagpipe, accordion, guitar, piano and harmonica's. Somehow this must have contained him with some musical interest. Michael Jackson also got airplay in his living room. But it was in a summer that his father who is also working as a forester was on a patrol in the eastern part of the island. He found a black colored tape who someone must have lost during a walk. When he took it home, he gave it to his son with the words “perhaps you could do something with it”. Not much later he bought his first taperecorder. The next thing he did was to put the tape in and take a listen. Soon there were all kinds of weird and freaky noises coming out. It attacked him. “What was this kind of sh*t?” he wondered. After that listen he did put it away in the closet - only for a very short while. He realised that this must have been the first serious house music he had been listening to. On the tape was Detroit orientated techno from producers like Orlando Voorn, Speedy J, Joey Beltram and Carl Craig who worked with the characteristic hardware synthesized equipment. Not much later his nephew from the urban city started sending him commercial and underground house music from the early/mid 90's ,wich he liked a lot.
Somehow this must have influenced the sound he is creating at the moment.
Wich most people call 'Terschelling Techno'. Although another big part of his inspiration comes from the gloomy city called Leeuwarden where he's working close to the producers/friends Mohlao and Delta Funktionen. They keep inspiring each other.
At the end of 2007 his first 12" release saw the daylight, Rush Hour Recordings released 'Our Concern Ep' which got big support by dj's like Laurent Garnier, Josh Wink, Rolando and Derrick May.
