Bitkit is Gunther Wyckmans, born in Belgium 1982. His passion for music started at a young age while receiving classical training in instruments such as trumpet & piano. Obsessed with rhythms, he hit the drums in a local band & later taught himself to play on a djembé. Six years ago, he was frustrated by only having 2 hands & he started to make electronic music. But his true calling manifested itself 2 years later when he discovered psy-trance. At first he dj-ed under the alias of DJ Thor, spinning the decks in Belgium as well as Holland & Germany. But soon enough he wasn't just happy with playing other people's productions & started to make his own tracks. Through his broad musical education & experience he progressed rapidly. He spent many nights in the studio together with the boys from Lani. Because of their longtime friendship it was not just great fun but also a learning experience, which dramatically improved the quality of the production level. So, it came as no surprise that he got signed to the Belgian label Kairoo Records.
