Neon

Neon, real name Stijn D'hont, was born in Destelbergen near Ghent in 1985. In 1995, at the age of 10, he started buying vinyl. In those days Phiphi, Yves Deruyter & Marko were his big influences... After organizing his own parties, Mike Thompson offered him a dj set @ the legendary Cherry Moon in Lokeren. His first clubgig at the age of 15! Neon got the opportunity to start playing at his favourite club, the former Boccaccio, which was called The Temple at the time. In 2003 he became one of the warm up deejays. One year later, he left radio station C-dance for the biggest dance radio station in Flanders: Topradio. Starting with a weekly dj-set, Neon soon got his own daily spot on national radio hosting his own radioshow called "The Nightclub". Later that year he started his show update. This show is still on air everyday from 8am giving you an "update" on the hottest new music. In 2005 Neon started his professional career as he started working at the Musicman recordstore in Ghent and became resident at The Temple on saturdays playing house, groove and progressive. Since January 2007, thanks to his friend and colleague Joeri, he has been resident on sundaynights at the number one club in Belgium: La Rocca, Lier and he had played his first sets on the party island Ibiza... 2008 is the year where Neon is going one step beyond: together with his friend & colleague Maxim Lany he is taking over the wheels of steel in the mainroom at one of the “coolest” clubs in the world: Culture Club, Ghent... You can check him out every saturdaynight! At the moment Neon is still making his way into the Belgian nightlife and beyond... His story isn't over yet, that's 4 sure...
