For Ernest Bonzet, silence is just as important as sound. A songwriter and producer with a distinct ear for the ethereal, Bonzet crafts music that exists in the space between waking and dreaming. Specializing in downtempo and meditative compositions, Ernest has cultivated a unique sonic aesthetic he calls "Reverie." It is a style characterized by warmth, organic textures, and a deliberate, calming pace. By weaving emotive songwriting with lush, low-fidelity production, he creates safe harbors for the listener—auditory spaces where anxiety fades and imagination takes over. Ernest Bonzet doesn’t just produce tracks; he curates moods, offering a gentle escape from the noise of the modern world.
It’s 1985 — the DJ is slowly emerging from the shadows in clubs and discotheques. The equipment is fully analog: turntables, tape decks, and heavy amplifiers. It’s also the year Ernest discovers that you can blend tracks together to create a seamless mix. A love is born, deeply rooted, and over the years has become part of his DNA. Fast‑forward 40 years, and the passion is still going strong. The gear is now digital and a lot lighter. Music has evolved into a rich variety of genres and sounds better than ever. As a DJ, Ernest plays eclectically and diversely, often mixing multiple channels at once. His blend of original music from across the decades with heavier beats, loops, and sound textures creates a whole new dance experience. From classic Techno to Italian cocktail lounge vibes — anything is possible during a magical sunset set or during one of the "Back to the Future" nights at Ketelhuis, where he brings timeless classics with a twist, ready for the future. With 35 years of experience, Ernest always manages to create a vibe that resonates with the crowd.
