Biografie
As a teenager I was always interested in music, but only when I went to secondary school I discovered the possibility of being a DJ.
I started off as a DJ who was willing to play everything, from Elvis Presley to Madonna, I slowly discovered house music. But my fist residency was at a club called "Cyrano de Bergerac". This club was known for his diversity in music, so from reggae to disco. But the house music was not a main ingredient of this night and this was what I wanted to play.
@ a club called "Chin Chin" I got a chance to show my love for house music. And quite soon after this I got a residency in "De Dansfabriek" (Dutch for Dance factory). Here I played as DJ Alpha for several years, every night from Thursday till Saturday. Beside this I was also a resident for the (in Holland) famous "After 5" club. Here I played with all the big names like Tiësto, Armin van Buuren and Marco V. All this DJ-ing made it possible for me to play at several places in Europe.
Due to a friend of mine, who lived in Scotland, I got the possibility to play @ a club called "the Ice Factory". Here I played several times until a guy called Chas Rose heard me and wanted me to become the resident DJ of a new club night called "Club Oxygen". Here I played for several years with some big UK names like Fergie, Lisa Pin Up, Mark Sherry, Tidy Boys, Anne Savage, 12" Thumper s Andy Farley and many more.
Now a day's I still DJ in my home town Utrecht in the Netherlands and in Edinburgh @ Club Oxygen under my own name DJ Johan van Alphen with the same enthusiasm as I did when I started as a DJ.
I am the main resident DJ for Club Oxygen in Edinburgh and continue to produce great sets for this club night that has now been running for 12 years on and off. Club Oxygen is an amazing Trance club established in 2000. This night has gone from strength to strength with the continued support of UK clubber's and the dedication hard work and belief of the promoters.
