WORK INTEREST
In my daily life I try to explore new worlds, the internet, inspiring new concepts and ideas, music, art, different cultures and foreign countries, trends & human behavior. Very interested in research. After finishing my master in social psychologie (2008), I have been working in advertising as a strategic researcher.
PHOTOGRAPHY
Since I can remember I have been interested in photography. Taking pictures of ordinary daily live. My work shows common streetscenes, detailed objects and walls, moving people, interesting landscapes and architecture objects. A sense of geometry and perspective play a vital role in framing the scenes. In an objective and documentary way I try to document moments of life. Very inspired by my favorite french photographers Henri Cartier-Bresson and Robert Doisneau.

MUSIC
DJ Dax for Electronation, Amsterdam.
Derk Zijlker lived most of his life in Maastricht. At the age of eighteen he got deeply involved with electro mainly through his good friend Guido (dj Clockwork). They both started to listen to the same kind of music. In December 2003, Dax bought his first turntables and moved to Amsterdam. Since then he discovered the wide variety of electronic-sounds. Inspired by some German record labels, Daft Punk, old-school bands such as New Order and Depeche Mode, and Legowelt, Dax created his own raw electro-sound. It’s a combination of different kind of electro styles, always with surprising unexpected breaks, vocals, and melodies. Electronation discovered Dax at a Dj-contest for upcoming talents in December 2004. Two weeks later, he played his first set at a Morality party in club More. Things got started for Dax. He is playing in clubs like Supperclub, More, Twstd (contest), Ipanema (Maastricht), Club 11.
