The 28-year-old Boris Smit, better known to the dance music world as Beauriche, grew up in the Netherlands, in a small town called Breda in the south of the country. \u201cWhen I was younger, Robbert Hardwell was and still is one of my best friends,\u201d explains Smit. \u201cWe both DJd and shared the same passion for music. 10 years later, when Hardwell got his Ibiza residency, we were partying together and he said, \u2018Dude, I\u2019ve got to tell you something, I\u2019m doing Ushua\u00efa this summer and you\u2019re going to be opening the shows!\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

In 2014, Beauriche opened seven of Hardwell\u2019s Ushua\u00efa parties. Last summer he performed at the esteemed Playa d\u2019en Bossa venue five times. \u201cNormally when you DJ in clubs you do so in a nighttime environment which is totally enclosed,\u201d Smit continues. \u201cAt Ushua\u00efa it\u2019s open, which is why you have to play more vocals, because when you\u2019re outside the beats escape into the open air. You have to keep it warm and melodic. That\u2019s what works best. If you only play beats and you\u2019re standing 200 metres from the speakers you\u2019re not going to hear all the elements of the song.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hailing from the same town as fellow Dutch DJ\/producers Ti\u00ebsto, Hardwell, Funkerman, Dannic and Fedde Le Grand, it seems Beauriche\u2019s future was always going to be behind the decks. \u201cThere must be something in the water,\u201d Smit laughs, \u201cor maybe in the beer! Tiesto actually owned a shop in Breda called the Magic Store. That\u2019s where we bought our records. Fedde Le Grand was working behind the counter, so was Funkerman. They were our heroes. We would chat with them and hang at the shop. Today, everyone inspires everyone else. We can drink a beer together, party together, help each other out in the studio \u2013 Robbert, Dannic, Funkerman and me still give each other production tips. We\u2019re just really honest with each other. It\u2019s all based on friendship.\u201d<\/p>\n

In addition to DJing and composing his own brand of groove laden house music, Beauriche also runs an exclusive party concept called The Fat Black Pussy Cat, which he co-promotes with DJ Roog. In the Netherlands, Beauriche and Roog went back-to-basics, hosting their event at the legendary De Spock nightclub in Breda, where Ti\u00ebsto\u2019s career began and Hardwell played when he was just fifteen years old. \u201cIt\u2019s a really small, intimate party,\u201d Smit explains. \u201cIt\u2019s only available for 150 people. After that there are no more tickets. The philosophy behind the Fat Black Pussy Cat is to mix cultures and musical sounds. It doesn\u2019t matter whether you are 21 or 60; you\u2019re going to enjoy it. This summer we\u2019re going to do something similar in Ibiza together with Ibiza Style magazine, taking over a hotel rooftop in Santa Gertrudis on June 29. It\u2019ll be the same concept, with only 150 people and really big DJs. It\u2019s only for house music lovers. Fifty Dutch people, fifty English, and fifty guestsfrom the island, and we\u2019re going to mix everyone up!\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
