Biography

source

Born in Stockton-on-Tees, County Durham in 1971 but transplanted to Belgium when he was only three, CJ Bolland received an early education in dance music. His parents ran a club in Antwerp, and his mother DJed there. He grew up listening to the synthesizer music of several eras — from Jean-Michel Jarre to Front 242 and the The Neon Judgement — but began devoting most of his time to house and techno by the late '80s. Bolland began producing in 1988, when a drummer friend gave him access to his gear, and his tracks became heard on several Belgian pirate radio stations. He then sent demos to several labels, and first heard back from R & S Records.
He founded his own label Mole Records in 2002.
