About Born To Funk
www.borntofunk.com

BORN TO FUNK is the solo project of Amsterdam based musician Ferdinand Lijnkamp. As a pioneering leader of the international house scene, his top quality productions are mainstays of countless hype charts and well represented in the boxes of international top dj's.

The BORN TO FUNK sound started drawing critical acclaim after the release of such notable hits as Di Bamba on Knee Deep USA, You Rock Da House on Elan Records and Souma Bana on Soulfuric Trax. Soon the attention of top notch artists in the business was drawn, and since then musical luminaries like Simon Dunmore, Ron Carroll, Davidson Opsina, Ian Carey,
Justin Michael and many more, turned to BORN TO FUNK to remix their tracks. All recognizing the unique groove and high quality production level, making BORN TO FUNK Holland's most in demand remixer and producer of today.

Highlights include remixing the all time house classic "Rise" (Soul Providers) and working with house legends such as Ron Carroll, Tyree Cooper and Byron Stingily. Over the years he has released tracks on Knee Deep, Soulfuric, Hermosa, Fluential, BMC, Look At You, R&G Electronics, Gfab, Ospina Records, Gotta Keep Faith, MN2S, Hed Kandi, G- Rex, among others, and he became the first Dutch act to ever appear on the famous Swiss label Purple Music, establishing a solid name in the high-end segment of the house music industry.

Besides working with the best producers and labels in the scene, BORN TO FUNK tracks and remixes have also found their way onto many compilations like "Testament Of House" (Ministry Of Sound), "Wax Wars" (Defected), "Hed Kandi" (Base Ibiza and Disco Kandi), "The Flavour/TheVibe" (Stonebridge), "MTV Ibiza", and "In Bed With Space" (Ibiza) to name a few.

As a DJ, Ferdinand Lijnkamp (dj-ing under his BORN TO FUNK monicker) is a veteran of the business with over 20 years of experience under his belt and currently performing about 100 gigs a year in and outside The Netherlands. Back in the days, he started out as a dedicated disco/soul/funk dj and is known for his immense collection of rare and classic 12 inches. No surprise his love for soulful music still is a big influence in his house sets. He has played all major venues in Holland and beyond, including clubs like Pacha (Ibiza), Amika (Miami), Patipa (Kiev), Trilogy (Dubai), TuTu Tango (Curacao), Supperclub (Bangkok) and El Divino (Ibiza). In Holland, populair events like Housequake, Defected in The House, Hed Kandi, House Republica and Super Sunday feature his spinning talent on a regular basis, and besides holding several residencies he performs regularly at major festivals like Dancevalley, Sensation White, and Extrema Outdoor.

His experience, fine taste in music and dazzling 4-deck dj skills, got Hardsoul's Dj Roog nickname him 'King of Acapellas' and is getting hands up in the air wherever he plays the funky sounds of BORN TO FUNK.


DJ/MC/Producer GOODGRIP - Netherlands
About Goodgrip..

Multi-talented Nick Rijnders is a Dutch DJ/producer and MC. Going by the name of Goodgrip, this talented individual combines DJing, making original productions and vocal talents to great effect. With major bookings all over the world and in his home country of the Netherlands, Goodgrip has become a big shot in both the domestic and international music scenes of late.

Goodgrip comes from a musical family, starting out playing the piano when he was only 4 years old. This early education helped develop a serious interest in music, which eventually led to creating beats and writing lyrics. When his father bought him a
computer his school days were effectively over. Suddenly, all of Goodgrip's time was consumed by making music. He knew then that this was the path his life had taken.

Goodgrip then joined rap collective Capitol Sounds. This helped him sharpen his keen mic skills. The hook-up with Capitol Sounds led him into Laidback Luke's studio. This one-off meeting became a partnership, with Luke becoming a mentor to him. Luke offered him the vocal lead for his hit single 'Rocking With The Best' (also re-released in 2007). This proved to be Goodgrip's big break as an MC, quickly becoming the main MC next to Luke. His journey with Luke took him to gigs all over the Netherlands, even performing at major festivals such as the world-renowned Lowlands.

Since then his MC career has continued to go from strength to strength, hooking up with DJ Irwan for large-scale shows over a two year period. He produced two tracks with Irwan, entitled 'Can We Go On' and, perhaps most notably, the 'Pimp My Ride' intro for MTV.

Production-wise, things began moving rapidly. He produced a track called 'My Selecta' under the name of Crème Fresh. Crème Fresh Music was founded and their followed three tracks by Goodgrip on the label entitled 'Everybody Get Moved', 'Can't Stand The Noise' and 'Never Without', further underlining this talented young producers credentials.

Goodgrip felt there was more to his skills than purely being an MC and studio producer. He decided to pick up the headphones as well as the mic, venturing into the world of DJs. Initially choosing straight up house music, Goodgrip then started to venture into a more eclectic sound, playing RnB & HipHop, thowing in some classics and back to upfront house. With residencies at Zebra Amsterdam, BED by BNN, Creme Fresh and BeatBox in the Netherlands, his future looks bright.

In addition to making waves in the Dutch music scene, Goodgrip has some international flavour to his name with a slew of foreign gigs. He has headlined gigs in Indonesia, Malaysia, Venezuela, America, Curacao, Quatar, Bahrain, UK, Switzerland, Belgium, Germany, Spain, Italy, Turkey, and Greece. Expect his air miles to clock up even more in the near future.

It is rare to have an individual possessing the ability to DJ, produce and also MC, so keep an eye on Goodgrip as he makes his further inroads. With the name Goodgrip referring to one's grip on life, it is clear that Nick Rijnders has got a good grip on life in general, and especially music in 2008.
