Oerkapoet started in 1996 by spinning early rave. He DJed under various aliases at events like SashSquatch in Oss, Nightfiver in Oss, and The Alley. In 2002, he swapped his turntables for a production studio. With a deep passion for sound design, he began producing techno, nearly, and millennium sounds. In 2019, he decided to create full tracks instead of just sound design. He produces techno under the name Gideon Gielis and experimental music under the name RAW Conjuration. In 2023, he returned to the scene under the name Oerkapoet. Under this alias, he produces millennium nearly tracks and has also returned to DJing. His style is known for being hard and raw. His music draws inspiration from artists like Ruffneck, Chosen Few, Ophidian, and Tha Playa. His tracks are characterized by an anti-authoritarian and rebellious attitude. A man with a message, indeed.
