Bio:
If it's for random squat party or traveling 1000's of miles to a festival in a beautiful remote paradise, there's no place Eric loves to spend his time more then on a dancefloor full of smiling happy faces and intense energy build ups. As early as '94 he has been involved in the Dutch psytrance scene. Whether he was organizing parties, dj'ing or just lurking around and having fun, this is where Liftshift found his bliss and space for developing his artistic needs. Growing up in a rich musical environment, Bijl started playing guitar at the age of 10. In his adolescence he played in various bands varying from Metal to Jazz performance. This is where his love for performing music live on stage started to take shape. When Eric discovered Goa trance in '94 he took a leap from playing in bands to spinning records. Since the familiarity with psychedelic trance was on a low level still, Eric and his mates started organizing small underground events as early as '96, which didn't just attract many people form all colors and creeds but raised a huge enthusiasm for the music that had never been heard by many. As everything keeps on growing and bending into new directions and undiscovered territory, in 2003 it was time to get into the studio and to start producing his own tunes. Although he has been releasing tracks as early as 2005 on labels like Sonic dragon, Flow records, Plusquam and Echoes, Eric decided that he needed to push the quality of production to a higher and massive level in order to satisfy his eagerness to rock dance-floors on a global scale. So in 2008 Bijl decided to move to Portugal away from Amsterdam, away from distractions, away from it all! After almost a year and a half living in seclusion on a farm, inside his studio pushing boundaries and surrendering to the almighty creative flow, Eric created his own unique and powerful style. With a range between 138 to 142 Bpm you can say his music tends to go full on, but nevertheless the story line is made up very clever and evolves in a progressive manner throughout the tracks. The tracks are very pushing, energetic and adventurous. They contain a delicate balance between raw and nourishing sounds, mind boggling Fx, fat warm rolling bass-lines, killer hooks, beats and magic. The efforts of the past year and a half have been thoroughly tested in his live set on Boom 2010, where it received great feedback from a roaring crowd in the Dance Temple. Eric is ready to take on the next chapter in his musical adventure which is unfolding as we speak. Since 2003 "Liftshift" has been performing his live sets on major festivals like: Boom Festival Portugal 2010 Universo Paralello Brazil 2005/06/08 Sonica Italy 2009 Timegate Switzerland 2009 Fullmoon Festival Germany 2007 Offworld UK 2008 Ground Zero Holland 2006/07/08 Earthdance Holland 2003.
