Born (1976) and raised in The
Netherlands, Erik Jan van Zanten learned about electronic music and the
art of DJ-ing in the late eighties and begin nineties. His passion for
this type of music began with the early house genres like: Detroit
house, Chicago house, ACID house, Euro house, Hardcore, Tech house, Deep
house and off course his favorite Techno. In the early 90s TheKoosy
mainly played Techno and Dutch Hardcore and did several performances on
vinyl under his previous alias "DJ EJ Ugel". In the late nineties EJ
changed his name to "TheKoosy" (pronounced as TheKoasy). TheKoosy is a
Techno DJ who loves to use tracks with the old rave and acid sounds, he
has started producing and is using these (as he calls them dirty) sounds
in his tracks. With his high energy tracks TheKoosy knows how to get
every person on the dance floor in a state of pounding trance. As he
mainly is a Techno artist, TheKoosy sometimes performs with other
genres like "Progressive House", "Melodic house & Techno" and "Deep
House", all with a little bit of dirtiness wherein you recognize his
own style.
