I had a serendipitous encounter with a kind stranger at Amsterdam Dance Event this year, who turned out to be the ingenious DJ / Producer Anverso, also known as Tom Vanderbauwhede. Since hearing his story, I've become so personally inspired by the limitless possibilities in DJing and I knew this was a story that had to be shared.
This episode talks us through his musical journey from his first show on a pirate radio station in Belgium at the age of 10, to the peaks of the Matterhorn, where Anverso's innovative spirit has redefined what it means to be a DJ. His passion and tenacity is evident - from manually calculating beats per minute in his youth with a stopwatch, to revolutionising modern DJing with home designed portable setups in stunning remote landscapes. His story is one for all aspiring creatives, demonstrating that breaking free from convention is the path to true artistic expression.
Anverso shares the grit and innovation involved in developing a portable DJ booth that conquers the harshest environments, from the cold of the Dolomites to the altitude of the Swiss Alps, all recorded for YouTube allowing us to join his experience of blending music seamlessly with nature's grandeur in his youtube channel (see the videos linked below).
This episode also unpacks the strategic and problem solving side of creativity, when dissatisfaction with existing algorithm discovery tools led Anverso to script his own method to discover new sounds. We touch on the intersection of music and AI, the emotional landscapes carved by artists like Bicep and Anverso's personal journey into music production. With insights into branding and entrepreneurship, Tom shares invaluable advice for aspiring artists, emphasising happiness and perseverance over immediate success and a passionate instruction to follow your dreams - you never know where they'll take you.
