BäRK is a multidisciplinary artist, DJ, producer and curator based in The Hague (Den Haag), working between the city's underground club circuit and its interdisciplinary art scene. Trained at the Royal Academy of Art (KABK), his sets move through 80s and 90s acid and industrial textures blended with electro, building from groove to full-pressure intensity, played with the precision of someone who programs as much as he plays.

He closed the Dekmantel Club Tour at Club Laak, with appearances at PIP Den Haag, Grey Space, Sexyland Amsterdam, Panama Racing Club (Intergalactic FM), the former Weelde Rotterdam and Banger Istanbul, and radio sets on Kiosk Radio Brussels, Operator, Maxi Radio and Noh, among others. As founder of Royal Surfclub, he has programmed more than 100 artists across The Hague and Rotterdam since 2019, curating exhibitions and events that bring together DJs, artists and makers across the scene. He also runs the European operations of Istanbul's Noh Radio.

In 2026 he hand-coded Line Up: The Hague, a playable music release built for original 90s handheld hardware that rebuilds the city's underground into an explorable world, featuring its real venues, DJs and radio stations, alongside a growing family of his own instruments, including the BäRK BRüTT synth.
