biography

i'm lore. i'm 22. i grew up in ledeberg, which is ghent if you ask the post office and not ghent if you ask anyone from ghent.

i started at seventeen on a friend's cdjs in his kitchen. at eighteen i got my first bookings, all warm-up. ten to midnight, empty room, bar staff counting the float, twelve people who came for someone else. so i played slow. there is no point playing fast to twelve people. a room that empty doesn't need pushing. it needs something to lean on.

i kept doing it. old belgian pressings, ebm, italo, industrial, all pitched down, and my own tracks, made in my kot at that speed from the start. somewhere between 98 and 112. slow is heavier. the kick has time to land, and a room moving at that speed leans instead of jumping.

someone told me this is new beat. i looked it up. they were right. i still don't call it that.

by the time someone offered me peak time i had worked out i didn't want one. i did two years of sound engineering and left. i post forty-minute videos of myself rebuilding a kick drum and people watch them, which i don't fully understand.

two eps is not a career and i'm not going to pretend it is. vertraging came out in 2025, three hundred copies, gone. nul came out this year. i still play the warm-up when they let me.
