Mischa van de Bilt, known professionally as Mav, was born on the 4th of march 1979 in the small Belgian town of Lokeren. Having lived in Germany, Austria, Belgium, Switzerland, and finally The Netherlands, Mav discovered the art of electronic music production at a very young age.
At age 11 he began experimenting with various tracking programs including Modedit, Fasttracker 1 & 2, Madtracker, and finally settled on Buzz which remains his main tool for creating music to this day. Exploring a wide variety of genres including techno, goa trance, hardcore/rave, house, and leftfield electronic, Mav eventually discovered drum&bass in 1998. He was hooked.
Quick to capitalize on his longtime experience in the scene, having already been a founding member of the widely respected tracking-group/label BMP (releasing music globally for free over the internet), Mav established his own drum&bass imprint called Scientific (www.scientific.nl).
Mav is also a seasoned veteran on the turntables, runs a drum&bass live-act called Scientific Live! together with several members of his crew, works closely with E202 Musicvisualisers (a well known Dutch VJ & motion graphics crew), and is a founding member of the audiovisual Farewell Industries collective.
Somewhere near the end of 2002 Mav's music career really began to take off as the majority of his demo tracks where quickly snapped up by various labels. Next to SCIENTIFIC, Mav is now closely affiliated with labels such as COVERT OPERATIONS (uk), FOKUZ (nl), FOKUZ LTD (nl), CITRUS (nl), OFFSHORE REC'z (usa), VIBEZ REC'z (uk), CAMINO BLUE (de), TRANSLATION REC'z (usa), WARM COMMUNICATIONS (usa), COUNTER INTELLIGENCE (nl), RED MIST (uk), MAKE-SHIFT (usa).

Opposide Records is proud to present its second release. This time it deals
with an album by Fluter and Dissident. Their first studio collaboration is
named "Occultered Box" and it is an outlandish, psychedelic mixture of
Drumfunk Drum & Bass, IDM and dark ambient elements. One can hardly describe
this music with words. Banal language in this case is unacceptable, words and
letters startbreakingrhythmandlooklikethis ...
Fluter and Dissident's album will provide deep emotional distress for even
experienced music fans, irrespective of their stylistic identity. When you
open the 'Occultered Box', revelations of a planetary scale can be made. These
mysterious transmissions bound majestically over relatively modest cinematic
efforts offered by many contempories. They demonstrate a real sense of
theatre, in which the listener becomes a participant in rituals and hears the

heheh, actually it means a lot to me that we won with all fairness and straight up proper game. Spain really needed a big win. we love and appreciate all of the other teams to the point that we never allowed ourselves to grow. we can now say that we can win. thanx for the kind words. as u know im a barca fan and we allways have a good relationship with holland and thei players or trainers. big up holland massive!
