Doctor Jan

*1977 NL

A.k.a. Jan Hop J. Hop

Doctor Jan (f.k.a. DJ I.Q. f.k.a. DJ Boner) has been DJ-ing since the early nineties. Born in 1977 in Amersfoort Holland, Doctor Jan got grasped by the American Hip-Hop culture because of groups like De La Soul, Eric B & Rakim and Public Enemy and started tearing up old turntables at the age of 15. In 1994 he joined his brother Sander's band Raise The Roof, when he finally had the money to buy his first Technics SL 1210-MKII turntable. As of today Raise the Roof has released two vinyl EP's and four CD albums and have been playing in lots of places, including S.O.B.'s in New York, Kaunus Jazz in Lithuania, Cannes in the French Riviera and in the south of Spain. As a Hip-Hop DJ, Doctor Jan has been raising the roof with gigs at de Melkweg, de Uitmarkt and Panama in Amsterdam, but was also a resident DJ in de Kelder and DeLuxe, in his hometown Amersfoort. His style of music can be called 'oldskool' by now, with mid-nineties beats, for which he still hasn't lost the love. With all the experience gathered throughout the years, he is now making the step to the producer side of the trade and you will notice the name Doctor Jan more and more.........
