Biography in third person

Geck-o is in real life Rik van Dam, born in 1989, living in the epicenter of hardstyle music: The Netherlands.

His love for electronic dance music developed at a young age, and while growing older he was always looking for more energetic music. This took him on a journey from trance, through hardtrance, to hardstyle! This genre seemed to be invented for him with its raw sounds, driving basslines and incredible vocal tricks. Getting deeper into the sound, Rik started producing himself in 2007 under the name Geck-o. He developed quickly and after only one year, he already had his first official release!

In 2009, he contacted Theracords, an upcoming label that claimed to produce music from the heart. He got to know founder Dj Thera and discovered his claim was not a lie - this label was all about passion for the music! Geck-o did not hesitate and he signed with this awesome label. He saw himself and the label grow bigger with the time, eventually leading to his first DJ performance in Belfast, followed by bookings in The Netherlands, England, Scotland, Ireland, Spain, Belgium, Sweden, France and Denmark!

The year 2011 can be seen as the big breakthrough of Geck-o. Getting support from the biggest DJs like Headhunterz - who even made his own exclusive edit of the catchy "It's What We Are" - and playing on the biggest parties like Decibel Outdoor Festival, Fusion of Dance, The Qontinent, XXlerator, Euphoria... and much more to come. 2012 will be huge, expect maximum diversity!
