Bio
Nachtraaf is a Dutch Industrial DJ.
Pushing the boundaries between the Dark Alternative Dance Genres. It is primarily melody that bridges the gap between genres and defines the unique sound of Nachtraaf as a DJ.
Started DJing in 2012 at the legendary venue of De Vinger in The Hague at the Goth Class-X. Followed shortly by starting an own event named Gotikus Industrialis.
Seeing at the time younger DJs had nowhere to play. There was only one option. And that was to break the status quo.
After winning the Summer Darkness DJ contest (2013), founded The New Industrial Generation (TNIG). And proceeded to host showcase nights for young DJs.
These things did not go unnoticed and piqued the interest of several organizers of events and festivals. Followed by setting up bigger events called Blacksun Corp. featuring big-name bands. And starting a monthly radio show at Radio Tonka (92.0 FM) called Industrial Generation. Co-organizer of LUVST parties since 2015. And in 2019 started a monthly radio show with partner DJ FritZ at Dark Asylum Radio.
