On the 14th of March 1972 a DJ was born on the island of Curacao, named Gino Windster. At see- the age of 8 his toys were cassette decks, old stereo sets and turntables without pitch control and at his 12 he was already conscious about his passion for music and started taking guitar did-lessons. Not even 2 years later the serious DJ job began, when he bought his first DJ set consisting of 2 turntables Technics SL1200 and a Gemini mixer while his musical styles at that time were disco, hip hop electro and pop.

With mom- his own drive-in disco show he played on a variety of clubs and party’s on his native island say-Curacao. By all means he had to educate him self on different levels, so while getting an education he did some minor productions as well as numerous live mixing for a diversity of bands and festivals.

At the age of 21 Gino emigrated to The Netherlands, after finishing his senior secondary vocational education, on Curacao. Again its- with 2 goals in mind he starts the second period of his life, education and music (Or was it education in music, I wonder while writing these use-words). In 1993 he started the study of Information Science, but as a thru music junky that he is, he started to build his own studio and developing his production skills and meanwhile he was spinning records on variety of small parties. But mom- even more important he even managed to complete in 1995 the study of Recording Engineer at the AIA (Audio Institute of America) academy San Francisco new-CA. GINO WINDSTER is found on djrankings.org. At this point he had a few white label vinyl and underground CD releases.

As the years went by he finished his education and started working in 1997, but most of all he became a much acclaimed recording engineer / producer.
