THE PROPHET (NEL) SCANTRAXX
The Amsterdam-born Dov Elkabas recently took an exciting, new step in his career when he founded his own label called Scantraxx, which has already grown into one of the most cutting edge labels within the Hardstyle scene. Instrumental within the Hard scene, The Prophet is one of the original members of the legendary Dreamteam.

Considered a true pioneer of Hardstyle, The Prophet was one of the first DJs to play Hardstyle records at a HouseQlassics event in Utrecht back in 1999. At this stage, Hardstyle had not even been picked up by the general public. Early 2003 The Prophet stood in the spotlights when he performed at the Amsterdam Pepsi Stage. Earlier that year he had mixed at events including Mystery Land, Defqon 1 and Qlimax. As a result of his performance at Qlimax, he was asked to produce the mix-CD called 'Qlimax' and the theme song 'Follow the Leader'.

The Prophet plays and produces music to make people dance!! So be prepared to raise the roof when he performs some of his new banging trance beats in the main arena - an unbelievable performance you are never going to forget www.djtheprophet.com
