THILO Elusive :: Straight On Black :: Holland

‘Straight On’ mainstay Thilo Spaans was the perfect choice for Sector 9 residency. His versatile DJ sets have seen him appear at some of the biggest events in Europe spinning hardstyle and techno at the highest level. Together with his partner in crime ‘Evanti’ Thilo produces tracks that are released on the Straight-On Black label. These productions are marked by their clever mixture of pounding hardstyle beats and hypnotising techno loops. This combination results in a unique, energetic sound that can only be compared to the likes of A*S*Y*S or Mark EG on ‘steads’, eeeeeek. Needless to say, Thilo is in big demand, not only in his native Holland but also internationally. April 18th marks the beginning of his ‘soon to be legendary’ residency for Sector-9.’ More info can be found here.. elusiveagency.com
