Frank De Wulf (born 1968) is a Belgian DJ, musician and record label owner. He is considered one of the pioneers of the Belgian new beat and techno scene.[1]
Frank De Wulf was born in 1968 as the youngest of three sons.[2] His brothers introduced him to new music and soon he started to create his first tape mixes.
In the 1980s, he had his own radio show, Seventh Heaven Radio.[2] In 1985, he began working for SIS radio.[2]
He also had his first jobs as resident DJ in two clubs in Gent. When New Beat became popular in Belgium around 1988 De Wulf started to produce his own tracks. One of his first hits was the 12" Acid Rock which he released with his project Rhythm Device on Music Man Records.[3] He also released the first of his B-Sides with unfinished beats and samples, which became very popular among DJs.
Together with other musicians he founded projects such as Bass Jumpers, F.O.G., Liaisons D, Dow Jones (later renamed Sounds In Order for legal reasons), and Rhythm Device. As remixer he worked on tracks by Digital Boy, Santa Esmeralda, Jam & Spoon, Erasure, The Orb, The Shamen, Model 500, Biosphere, Ken Ishii and Celvin Rotane.
