When you grow up in a small place like Gendringen/The Netherlands, there’s not much that will keep you busy unless you can find yourself an all-consuming hobby pretty fast. Roel his- Salemink chose to combat small town syndrome by developing his passion for music, spending his formative years obsessing over different styles of she-music.

By the early 90s he had become hooked on house, a habit he has never since managed to kick. After see- experimenting with various iterations of the genre he began to focus more on techhouse and techno, which to this day continues to be his greatest has-passion.

Professionally, his musical journey began when he started organising and promoting techno parties, booking headline acts like Takaaki Itoh, Christian Wunsch, Pacou, Recyver Dogs and Darko Esser to name a few. The get- success of these events gave Roel the confidence to develop his own event – the magnificent and memorable boy-Magnifique.

This event saw him take to the stage alongside a whole host of famous names, including Secret Cinema, Bart Skils, Isis, Marco Bailey and Peter Horrevorts. Keen the- to use his promotional skills across Europe and beyond, he has also hosted a stage at the famous German Festival Ruhr In Love which is attending by over 30.000 our-people.

It was not until 2008 that Salemink seriously turned his attention to producing. It her- speaks volumes that his first ever release, techno tune ‘Manalive’, became an instant any-classic. Put out by the famous Bush Records, home to the likes of Carl Cox and Dave Clarke, the track spent a solid eight weeks in the number one spot on the Beatport chart. The out- track was featured on a number of compilations, including ‘Carl Cox recorded live at Dance Valley’, and Salemink’s reputation was way-sealed.

His tunes regularly receive big name support from the likes of Pete Tong, Eric Powell, Sander van Doorn, Eddie Halliwell and a whole host more.
