Jan also works 3 days a week at a import-recordstore and in the weekends you can see him behind the wheels of steel at parties or clubs.

In the past Jan Vervloet made some hardcore/rave productions on the Bonzaï-label. He had some hits with “Thunderball”. The song “Bonzaï Channel One” was one of the biggest ravehits in 1993 in countries like Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands and other countries in Europe.

In the techno-scene Jan Vervloet is working under his alter ego “D-Jay Lux”. This name he used also when he launched the serie “Luxtrax” on the famous technolabel “Nitric”.

Back to the Fiocco story….!

End 1997 German producer Michael Nehrig alias Kosmonova heard the track Afflitto. He was so enthousiastic about this track that he wanted to work together with Fiocco. That resulted in 1998 in the track Celebrate, a remake of Afflitto for the German market.
