Originally a full time skateboarder DVL was introduced to Hip Hop in the early 90's by fellow belgian's DJ Grazzhoppa and TLP (4), together known back then as Rhyme Cut Core. They passed on the Hip Hop bug to DVL and with it an addiction for record hunting, as he went out to track down all the originals beats and breaks. Since those early days, DVL as gone on to release two instrumental EP's 3 Past Midnight EP and Launch Detected, both as After Hours (3), on his own record label After Hours (2) Records. For these releases he collaborated with friends and colleagues from the belgian Hip Hip world ,with beats from DJ Grazzhoppa, DJ Serious (2), Smimooz and The Greedy Boy. He also released a series of mixtape under the name After Hours (3), on his own label. Around 2004 DVL decided to leave the music scene in order to to fully focus on one of his other passions photography.Together with his love of skateboarding he became one of the founders of Wood, Belgium's only magazine solely dedicated to skateboarding. This has enabled DVL to become one of the most sought after skateboarding photographer around.
