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 my role was mostly dedicated to the music for our DJ sets, branding (logo, photoshoots, video, website etc), social media, network & contract negotiations. We both decided on 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.
