(Bio Rhythm / Intergalactic FM – The Hague)

The Dutch West Coast scene is as fabled as Detroit techno and Chicago house. And Intergalactic Gary—a DJ for 35 years—has been involved with it since day one. The cult selector had a residency at The Hague’s first ever house club in 1992 and since then has honed a style that has lead the legendary I-F to call him “terminator” such is the focus he has on the decks. Whether working you into a trance or keeping you guessing with improbable bridges between raw acid, 70s Italo or fresh techno, he’s a flawless, instinctive DJ who is predictably unpredictable. Whether new or old, Gary doesn’t care, “as long as it has character and something interesting going on that grabs the attention.“
In the studio he’s laid down mutant, disco-tinged electro as The Parallax Corporation and electro and ambient synth pop soundtracks as The Conservatives, both with I-F. He’s also recently collaborated with Pasiphae on Bio Rhythm, and for Stroboscopes and Smokemachines, a new documentary about underground electronic music. He aims simply to make music he would want to hear on a night out and imbues his work with a sense of melancholy, but always paired with driving dance floor dynamics that mix up analogue and digital textures.
A regular at Dekmantel both in Amsterdam and Selectors in Croatia, he has also played China, Australia and Japan, Unsound in Krawkow and the No Way Back Afterparty in Detroit. Only the classiest DJs play these parties; they have hardcore crowds who have high expectations, and Intergalactic Gary is someone who cannot fail to win over even the most hard to impress crowds thanks to the unique craft of his art.
