Erik de Koning, alias Enrico, has been producing music for 12 years now and is famous for "WaterVerve" (in some countries also called WaterWave). However, one is probably most impressed by his work under the name of Three Drives (co-productions with Ton TB).

"Greece 2000", "Sunset on Ibiza", "Carrera 2" and "Air Traffic" are just a few titles that did very well, especially in the UK.Erik has produced an enormous amount of tracks but how did it all start? His musical career started in 1990.

He used to work, together with his buddy Mark van Dale, at Mid-town records. Through this job, they both discovered house music that flew over from Belgium. They thought that they could make that music as well and decided to buy their own studio.

This resulted in a great first production: "Michael Jackson is in heaven now" under the name of OBSCURE FM. A good selling record released in 8 countries and even charted in the Belgium Top 30. They really got the taste of it and continued releasing good records like "Utter Utter" and "Fuckface" both under the name of King Dale.

Erik really enjoyed producing and decided to continue on a professional basis. Together with Mark, he started a production company. Lots of productions followed and their experience and love for music grew.

As the "scene" changed and people were looking for something different, Erik developed a totally new club-sound. Also due to the fact that after a few years had passed, he ran into Mark van Dale again.

In collaboration with Mark van Dale and Ton TB, he settled a new sound that is recognisable to this day. Two successful releases followed on DJ Jean's label, IT Records. First of all, "Emotions" - Dub foundation was a huge club-hit and has been released in Spain and Germany.

The second one, "Loosing sleep" - Club Royale, took control of position 1 for many weeks. Other successful releases by Enrico are: "The Hardclubber" and "The Disclubber", Wicked's "Discodamnation", Partision's "No May Gustah", "Together" by Department One and "Something goin on" produced with Mark van Dale.

Erik's remixes are really wanted as well. Well-known remixes of "Kay merry go round"- Tales from the crib and "Seed, scattered" by Rainbox bombed the Dutch Charts and were released world-wide. Another well-known remixes were made for Vengaboys "Boom, boom, boom" and DJ Jurgen's "Better off Alone".

Succesfull Three Drives remixes were made for Blank and Jones, Yves de Ruyter, Cor Fijneman, Scott Mac and more. Throughout these years, Erik has been a radio dj as well. In the 90's, Erik and Mark hosted the famous radioshow "Turbulentie" on Stadsradio Rotterdam.

Together with Mark, Erik was co-founder of the internet radio station www.danceradioone.com , which is currently offline.As a dj, Erik's speciality is warming up the dancefloors: He was resident dj at "A20" Rotterdam for 3 years, spinned his records at several clubs in The Netherlands as the «O» The Haque and the Escape Amsterdam, but played his tunes in Canada, Italy, Spain, Finland and the UK as well.

Currently, Erik produces on a full-time, daily basis in a huge production studio building, counting 3 floors, 6 studio's and is called Dub Foundation. His latest work, together with Ton T.B, released under Three Drives, DJ Ton TB (and other pseudonyms as Tangled Universe) is receiving huge support from well known dj's as Oakenfold, Tiësto, Paul van Dyk, Armin van Buuren to name a few.

– DJ Ton (van Empel) T.B. (from The Butcher, a nickname people gave him in the early days) is one of these guys that's been around in the music industry forever.
