DJs CONTRA LA FAM Festival
is honoured to introduce the first live performance
of Secret Cinema in Barcelona.
Jeroen Verheij, aka Secret Cinema,
started producing as Meng Syndicate in 1990.
His first record ‘"Sonar System"
came out on the Hithouse label in Belgium and
soon became a big club-hit. In 1993, after having
experimented with sound samples and melodies,
DJ Michel de Hey, convinced Jeroen to release
his music on his label Immaculate Music. Later,
he released ‘"Timeless Altitude"
on EC Records, and for ‘"Mary Go
Wild" Jeroen Verheij which received two
Update Dance Awards, for Best Dutch Producer
and Best Dutch single of 1997. ‘"Masculinity",
its follow-up, got him another two dance awards
in 1998. Jeroen started also producing music
for films.
Jeroen has been playing live since 1993, but
when ‘"Volt!" came out in 2000,
it was the start of Jeroen's new and restyled
energetic live set, one more techno-orientated.
After that, Jeroen released his first album
in 2001 under the name of Secret Cinema,
"White Men Can't Funk". The same year
he saw the international breakthrough for Secret
Cinema with the release of “"SC002" ,
a very techno oriented project extracted from
his live-set including the track 'Carton Clip',
his album 'White Men Can't Funk' and subsequently
his debut live performances in Ireland, Italy
and Japan (WIRE festival 2001).
Further development into the Secret Cinema
project has made the new album ‘"Skunk&Espresso"
a favourite amongst all the big name DJs around
the world, from house to techno, from minimal
to trance. The album consists of 3 vinyls and
a mixed CD, and is all written and produced
by Jeroen Verheij. He started the new album
tour in Japan and a long list of other Asian
and European bookings. As his live set has never
been the same twice, Jeroen continues his quest
for a better performance every week.
