Hola amigos,
my name is DJ Bert van Engel. Actually that’s an artist name. My real name is Engelbert Eichner. My friends call me Engelbert or Bert. I’m a keyboarder, producer, DJ and conductor with a tendency towards the crossover.
I was a graduate of the elite university Mozarteum in Salzburg. Having grown up with Mozart, Beethoven, Chopin, Rachmaninov and many more I made my way in electronic music many years later. Inspired by various stylistic trends I wanted to express my passion for music and sound and came up with these fine selection of work.
Working as a scene DJ with salsa roots too, I know what makes the club boil. Rely on my sense of rhythms and sounds. Believe me: I CAN read the crowd.
We see us in the clubs and on stage. Enjoy!
Bert van Engel
