The music career of Dimitri Kneppers (1967), also known as Dimitri and 'Dimitri from Amsterdam', reads like an encyclopaedia. A Dutch house encyclopaedia, that is. After more than 40 years of spinning records you could call him a real veteran, known for his enormous sensitivity, true feeling and mixing skills. In 1988 Dimitri obtains his first residency at club Richter in Amsterdam and starts spinning in the legendary RoXY, where he distinguishes himself from the rest of the DJ-ing world through his bold and innovative mixing techniques. Dimitri is one of the first DJs to mix a house record with break beats or drum 'n bass, proving he is not only capable of mixing those styles together by tempo and rhythm, but also by melody or tune/pitch, creating real-time compositions. At that time it was a ground-breaking style that has been copied ever so often, although never truly coming close to 'the master' himself. By 1991 Dimitri spins at all the major (warehouse) parties in the Netherlands, Belgium and Italy.
