Creative direction
While Roel was coming up with the musical concepts & melodies and doing the actual production, my role changed from being behind the knobs to a role of A&R giving feedback on the tracks and how ideas could fit into our style.
Next to this I was for a big part responsible for our DJ sets, branding (logo, photoshoots, video, website etc), social media, network, contract negotiations & strategy. Lastly I was the creative lead for our clubbing concept ‘Elementss’ we initiated and hosted in 2013-2014. For an impression see gallery below.
