Glimmer Twins

Real Name:
Mo Becha & David Fouquaert ('Benoelie')
Profile:
The Glimmer Twins, alias Mo & Benoelie are two sound freaks annex DJ's with a passion for pleasing the crowd. They have been a part of the Belgian party scene from the early days of the "roaring 80ies" through to a variety of electronic music of the '90s. Their varied mix selection can be pinpointed by their need for soul fullness. Their most striking quality is that they can make everybody move, by choosing and combining the best records out of the history of popular and contemporary music. Now Mo & Benoelie are resident-dj's at Culture Club (the new Belgian top club), Eskimo, Bel Mondo, Kozzmozz and Poplife.

Inspired by Grandmaster Flash and DMC contest tapes they started DJ'ing together in 1985 in a small club in Ghent. They covered not only hiphop but also popular tunes from that time and classics from way back. In '92 Mo & Benoelie went along with the house revolution and from that moment on, they were invited to the most important gigs in Belgium and in the rest of Europe. They played with the likes of Carl Craig, Moodymann, Alex Paterson, Juan Atkins, Depth Charge, Derrick May, Dave Clarke, Ashley Beedle, Harvey, Faze Action, Kevin Saunderson, Aphex Twin, Howie B, Dzihan & Kamien, Kruder & Dorfmeister. In the meantime Benoelie worked in "Music Man", the major record & import shop in Belgium. His passions for sounds made him quit his job and take up an audio engineering course in Amsterdam. He was also A&R-manager at R&S records. Mo just finished his Art school in Amsterdam (famous Rietveld academy). Now he's busy with a sound installation project all over Europe.
