Alexander Koning

It was in the end of the eighties and Alexander was a deejay who just spun hiphop. This all altered when he bought a friend some of the earliest house records in 1989. Alexander himself also got infected with the ever spreading house virus and started being a house and techno deejay himself. By then Alexander already attended the new and mostly illegal rave parties that were held throughout the country. Sometimes it was an abandoned warehouse and sometimes just a fine spot somewhere in nature where people came together to dance and have fun all night. In these early days Alexander and friend Michel Becks also caught up the idea to drop parties theirselves. The first venue where they did this was a small place in his hometown Beverwijk. It was a massive success, people from all over the province showed up and the Eye on the Future concept was born. Not satisfied with the small venue Alexander and Michel started changing locations and found an new homebase for the events in Amsterdam. In a place called The Repetitiehuis they now started giving parties where different styles of music came together in one musically challenging concept. Lots of deejays that are now internationally known artists got there first deejay gig via these Eye on the Future parties. People like Adam Beyer, Valentino kanzyani, Joel Mull, Chris Liebing , Ben Sims etc etc made their Dutch debut on Eye on the future. While the parties grew and the artists grew the organisation grew likewise. This all culminated in receiving an nomination for best Dutch organisation in 1998. Even nowadays they still do parties on regular bases and they still invite up and coming artists who never visited Holland before. Alexander is not just known as an organiser of parties. He is also a well known deejay and producer. He played at parties and clubs like Dancevalley (mainstage),Watergate, Turnmills, Defqon, Wooferland, Heineken Horizonz, Fire(stopera plein),Loveland festival ,5 days off, New Frontier, House classics and other big festivals.
