Although she was born in the ABBA-decade (I still LOVE ABBA & Disco!), her passion for music really started in the early 80s when Electronic Music became HOTT. She loved to jam om her mums organ at a very young age -aka todler- and on her mums synthesizer as a teenager (sorry mum!!!) After playing the recorder for 2 years and the German flute for 4 years, Loraine decided to do something else with music and started to experiment by recording her own "mixes" using 3 casette recorders. Of course, this experiment ended quite shortly after she'd started it. ;)

1990, Eindhoven: The first "houseparties" she visited: in the Effenaar and the ones held in the "Beursgebouw". Robin Alberts (Jaydee) -her favo jock of a weekly show named "For those who like to groove"- was one of the main acts, as for Fierce Ruling Diva (Rubb it in!!). SIMPLY LEGENDARY!!! She lost a bit touch of the scene from 1995 till 1999 due to study and work. But she regained interest in it the summer of 1999 (Kriti Vibes)

Until recently she enjoyed music just by listening to and dancing on it...until she decided she wanted to hear only her favorite choons in a row instead of listening to someone else's mix. Thats when Loraine started to mix with software on her laptop for recreational purposes and apparently some folks loved to listen to those mixes. As Chris (ETN.fm) agreed it would be fun to have a radioshow on ETN3 hosted by women only, Loraine decided to convince her substitute sister, Lieselot to join her on this adventure which resulted in FEMALE RECREATION. The show was launched in March 2006 as a weekly show but soon it seemed they defo needed a longer timeslot, so it came they combined the Tuesdays with Freezels show (bi-monthly 2hs). At the end of 2006 the ETN staff announced the end of ETN3 BUT they've offered them to continue their show on ETN 1 (Trance Channel) which is broadcasted every 4th Wednesday of the month.Nowadays Loraine covers the monthly show by herself and with 500+ live listeners it is still a success.
