TJ Kong aka Erwin van Moll was one of the first Dutch techno musicians during the early nineties and one of the main producers to give birth to the ‘Eindhoven techno sound’. Since then he has built an extensive discography containing a wide variety of styles such as deep house, disco, break beats, ambient music and down tempo. When asked what all his music has in common there’s a long pause. “It all has a warmth and a strong atmosphere I hope” he replies. “Oh, and the bass line. I find the bass line very important in dance music”.
He has released records on labels such as Mo’ Wax, Djax, Evolution/Universal Language, Compost, Compost Black Label and Eskimo Recordings, and he did remixes for David Holmes, Kirk Degiorgio, Steve Poindexter and Gerd. His 1995 album “Love & Mathematics” has earned him a place in the acclaimed Penguin book “The Rough Guide To Techno”.
In summer 2010 TJ Kong & Nuno Dos Santos released the much anticipated full-length album “After Dark My Sweet” on Compost Records.
As a dj TJ Kong’s much loved for his fluent and open minded style. He played every Dutch club and has stood in the spotlights at The End (London), Café d’Anvers (Antwerp), 10 days off (Ghent), Nitsa (Barcelona), Harry Klein (Munich), The Arches (Glasgow), Beam Hall (Tokyo) to name just a few.
