DJ mps PILOT
(Beek, NL 1968) a.k.a. Horst Timmers studied musicology in Amsterdam and became fascinated by world music during lectures in ethno-musicology. Since 2002 mps PILOT has been one of the Netherlands' best known Tropical/World DJs and producers. Due to his interest in groundbreaking dance, his many travels through Europe, West Africa, the Middle East and Asia mps PILOT plunged deep into contemporary global music. In all possible directions and between all kinds of different modern genres there is cross-fertilisation and split-offs, which he charts. He performed in many well-known clubs such as Paradiso and the Melkweg and at festivals like Mysteryland, Dancevalley, Oerol, Lowlands, North Sea Jazz and the Flemish Sfinks. His travels as a DJ took him among others to Le Festival au Desert in Mali, Les Nuits Atypiques de Koudougou in Burkina Faso, the Jaipur Festival in Rajasthan and Sziget in Hungary.
