DJ Wiekes was born to an middle class Roggelish family in the mid-northern part of the extremely dangerous Limburg area. He served for more than 5 years in the Heytse-Roggel war (which is still not over). It was also there where he created his unique style of Dj-ing. A raw attitude (as a left over of the war ofcourse) and a friendly sound (he was the first one try to solve this problem without fights, but with music). But the biggest reason of his succes is his sex-appeal without arrogance, which has drawn many young girls to his shows. Many of these girls thank his dj-sets a change in their lives. His following described DJ Wiekes as "the middle child craving universal acceptance and approval".
Due to his nationwide succes his real name is still a mystery. DJ wiekes is listed in the Hoegaarden Book of World Records for "Most drunk appearances at dutch dance nights". As a big fan of Ron Jeremy and Paris Hilton he understands how to 'move' people.
Saturday 16 February 2008 will be his last performance at the utrecht-famous Diep in de Groef.
After the succesful 2008 summerfestivalseason it became extremely silent around DJ Wiekes. He stopped producing hits surprisingly. Fans, family & press were worried about his reputation and creativity. Due to his absence at the ATP- and Awakeningsfestival (spring 2009) friends started to call him ‘Sjaak Afhaak’. This cheesy & rare nickname inspired DJ Wiekes for a career as a remix-artist. In july 2009 DJ Wiekes surprised the world with his inimitable but smashing re-edit of N-O-L’s 'Alles Heej'. It's told he shook it just out his sleeve. The rest is already history.
