Teun Everts, also known as The Botanist, is a 23 years old DJ from Limburg studying Biology in Leuven (Belgium). This youngster started deejaying at the age of 16, playing at local parties with a friend dragging him into the scene. They started off as house DJ’s, but as they kept on searching for new music, they hit the jackpot: Techno. Sometime later, they started a local techno concept called Bunker, and invited DJ’s as A. Brehme, Cellini, Farrago, Kiani & His Legio, Tom Hades and Ortin Cam. Their last party was in Leuven with Lars Huismann from Berlin.

However, after a few years their visions diverged, so each of them went his own way, starting his own project The Botanist. At that moment, he discovered vinyl and fell instantly in love. Eager for more black gold, he kept digging while his collection, as his vision on Techno, grew. He played at some Dutch raves in Maastricht (w/ 2+2=5) & Urmond, Trauma in Leuven (w/ SPFDJ, DJ IBON,...), De Serre in Hasselt, Radio Scorpio (Club106) and reached the finals of 45Toeren DJ Contest. As of lately, he hosts free Techno parties in Leuven named Phobia, of which the previous edition was an all nighter back-to-back with Grava.

Inspired by the diversity Techno has to offer, he seeks to combine all sorts of vibes in a fluent and dynamic way. A touch of by-nature-influenced soundscapes, hoovering melodies over a galloping bassline, pounding broken drum rolls,… These are the elements he operates attempting to present a story.

"When the era of humans concludes, nature's soundtrack will reign..."
