Guest DJ (second hour) Massimo Conecto.
Our guest DJ for this week is Massimo Conecto, originally named Dirk Stommels and hailing from Belgium. He has been a consistent DJ since 1999, known for his ambition, boundless energy, and deep love for music across various genres.
Dirk's musical journey started with his grandfather, who had the privilege of performing with the famous Belgian Jazz Musician Toots Thielemans as a jazz artist. For 50 years, Dirk's grandfather introduced him to the world of jazz at a young age, sparking his passion for music. Dirk was raised surrounded by jazz, rock, punk, disco, funk, hip-hop, electronic, and new wave, all of which shaped his musical development.
Thanks to his grandfather's influence and his own travels, he has consistently been interested in the development of music, constantly seeking out fresh and unfamiliar sounds. By the end of the 1980s, he and his close friend and DJ Sven Van Hees co-hosted a radio program named Liaisons Dangereuses with Paul Ward.
Weekly, they showcased the finest of New Beat's offerings. The birth of a fresh genre of underground dance music in Belgium can be traced back to a venue in Antwerp known as Ancienne Belgique, paving the way for the emergence of House Music.
Despite being born with a musical talent, Dirk stumbled into becoming a DJ when someone inquired if he had any CDs in his car to play music. He responded affirmatively and ended up performing at his debut gig on CDJs. Upon encountering the skilled DJ Ken Bleys, who mentored Dirk on how to use Pioneers and helped him come up with his DJ alias Massimo Conecto, it became evident how effortlessly Dirk connected with others, particularly through his music.
With the passage of time and the improvement of his skills, he began performing at private events, not only in Belgium but also at the Karma Lodge parties in Planet Xancara, South Africa, Kae Funk in Zanzibar, and a highly praised after-party hosted by Cirque du Soleil. In his local area, he entertained crowds at Café d’Anvers, and the Floorfiller Festival became a yearly occurrence.
Having accumulated a wealth of musical experience throughout his life, he possesses the skill to delight the audience. Massimo Conecto's essence lies in bringing together the appropriate individuals in the appropriate setting; music is an expression, an expression deeply tied to sentiment, with sentiment forming the core of human existence!
