Hello all, i’m proud to announce my first gig. Very excited and stressed
Hi everyone, I hope you’re all doing well ! Just a quick message to share some exciting news: I won the DJ Contest for Eskape Festival, the biggest outdoor hard music festival in
My track that started as a submissiontrack for the redrace is now finally out at Dwx. This is my best piece of work to this day and im beyond proud to present "The upside down"
So happy to share it with you. I reached the stage for the first time to share my collab with my bro Kokwak
My first big milestone has arrived, From think of quitting from music production, To see and to start the programs from Neroz,to full commit to producing!
My first huge milestone. I Reached 2.5k monthly listeners on Spotify and trend seems to be continuing to grow.
Last Saturday, I had the opportunity to share my music with my friends for the very first time. It was a great and memorable evening.
Gijs and I have breached another barrier because we have more than 10k monthly listeners on Spotify!

Why this exists
The industry didn’t need
another producer.
After nearly two decades on stages around the world, I realised that producers did not need more random tutorials. They needed better teaching.
Most music courses show you which buttons to press. They rarely explain why a professional makes each decision. I teach the ideas behind the process, so you can build your own sound instead of copying a tutorial.
I stopped touring because helping artists build lasting careers became more important to me than another weekend on stage. I still produce and release music, so the lessons stay connected to the real hard dance scene.

Before you ask
Music production course
questions, answered.
Clear answers about the courses, software, membership and support.
HonestlyWhy not just learn on YouTube?
You can. The problem is that YouTube gives you separate tips with no clear order and no feedback on your own music. Here you follow a step-by-step course, get weekly track feedback and learn with other hard dance producers. That makes it easier to finish tracks instead of collecting more tutorials.
ComparisonHow is this different from other producer courses?
You get more than video lessons. NEROZ combines step-by-step Hardstyle, Rawstyle, Uptempo and Hardcore courses with weekly demo feedback, a 989+ producer community and The Forge artist tools. Steven still produces, releases music and teaches inside the platform.
SoftwareDo I need FL Studio, or can I use another DAW?
Every lesson is demonstrated in FL Studio. You can still use another DAW because arrangement, sound design, mixing and mastering follow the same principles. You only need to translate the FL Studio buttons and workflow to the matching tools in your own software.
Already producingWhat if I already make music?
You can start at the level that fits you. Experienced producers often use the weekly feedback, community and The Forge to improve their sound, work more consistently and prepare tracks for labels.
TimeHow much time do I need?
The courses are self-paced, so you can learn around your schedule. A few focused hours each week is enough to make progress when you practise consistently and use the feedback.
PricingMonthly or Own It — what’s the difference?
Full Access costs €39.99 per month and includes every course. You can cancel anytime. Own It is a one-time €299 payment for lifetime access to one production program and its included bonuses.
RefundIs there a refund?
The one-time programs have a conditional 30-day refund. Monthly memberships are not included in this refund policy. Please read the full terms before you buy.
The PolicyWhat if I do the work and still don’t get a release?
If you complete the program, join the demo-feedback streams and apply the feedback but still have no release, I will coach you for free until you do. Read the Release Policy for every condition.
Getting startedI’m a total beginner. Is this for me?
Yes. The programs are built to take you from zero to a release-ready track, step by step. The one thing I’d hold off on as a beginner is the Artist Development Program — that one’s for producers already turning this into a career.
AccessDo I have to pick Hardstyle or Uptempo?
No. Full Access includes every production course. Choose the style you want to start with, then switch whenever you like.
MembershipWhat’s actually included?
Every plan includes The Forge, the 989+ producer community and weekly live feedback. Full Access also includes every production course. Premium adds a monthly 1-to-1 session with me and video feedback on one track.
BillingCan I cancel anytime?
Yes. Monthly plans cancel anytime — no contracts, no lock-in. Own It is a single payment, so there’s nothing to cancel.
Road to DefqonWhat is Road to Defqon?
Road to Defqon is a 12-month development roadmap for hard dance producers. It helps you plan your music, artist identity and growth. The roadmap and monthly videos are included with every program and Full Access. It does not guarantee a booking.
