Biography of T-Quest
Country: Belgium
Label: News
T-Quest's earliest musical influences go back as far as Kraftwerk, Fad Gadget, Nitzer Ebb or Liaisons Dangereuses.
The short-lived but fierce New Beat era and the acid house period further sharpened his appetite for electronic dance music. In the early 90's T-Quest started out as a DJ on a local radio station with 'Behind The Beat', a two hours non-stop program with the latest and upcoming sounds from the underground. At about the same time he started working in the Music Man record store and a couple of years later moved on to the A&R department of the Music Man label for which he created the instant-recognisable 'silver'outlook.
Since 1994 Stefaan signed artists such as Secret Cinema, Cherry Bomb, Metro Dade, Sound Associates, Percy X, Steve Rachmad, Green Velvet,Steve Stoll an did compilations with Dave Clarke and Jeff Mills. He holds a residency at Kozzmozz, played in Belgian's most famous clubs (among which Decadance) as well as festivals (10 Days of Techno, I Love Techno). He travelled the world with his record bags and was invited to New York (Limelight), Paris (Rex), London (The End) and Moscow. For his first studio production, T-Quest alias Stefaan Vandenberghe joined hands with Frank De Wulf.
'Play' was released on R&S records as Frank De Wulf vs. T-Quest. His second release, a solo effort, first surfaced
somewhere at the end of 1996 as a limited twelve-inch (500 copies). Due to popular demand 'Upiter' was re-released on Music Man Records in March '97 including Steve Rachmad and Bandulu remixes. Later on Stefan produced an exclusive track ('Cakewalk') for the Kozzmozz compilation under the moniker of SubSurf. T-Quest is resident on the fuse level at Fuse since January 2001.
Later Stefaan also took on a second label: 'Life Enhancing Audio' that concentrates on more down-tempo quality
productions and compilations as Transatlantik Lounging and the albums from Sven van Hees and now also Cin?rex.
The man who has been running the internationally well-acclaimed Music Man Records label, which is home to artists like Green Velvet, Bandulu, Damon Wild,Cherrybomb, Deetro and many others.
More recently Stefaan also took on a second label: 'Life Enhancing Audio' that concentrates on more down-tempo
quality productions and compilations as Transatlantik Lounging and the albums from Sven van Hees and now also Cin?rex.
But T-Quest is still mostly a dj in hart and soul and with residencies at Belgium's most respected techno-club Fuse and Kozzmozz he is definitely a public's favorite.
