Lindsay van der Eng (born July 25, 1983), known professionally as DJKorsakoff, is a Dutch disc jockey and producer of hardcore techno and gabber. She is one of the most recognized producers of the gabber scene mixing in the most prestigious events, in particular Masters of Hardcore. [1]
Lindsay van der Eng was born on July 25, 1983, in a small village in Akersloot, Amsterdam, Netherlands. She came into the scene riding on productions from Bart Kok (aka Catscan) who had released "Separated World" and other melodic hardcore tracks under a different name as to not confuse the public. When he defected from the label The Third Movement to Masters of Hardcore under the push of Outblast (Mark Out) he was pressured into releasing the name DJ Korsakoff so they could make a separate act from the name and cash in on it. This is where they auditioned Lindsay, who was an escort Mark was dating at the time and he started putting her on MOH line-ups to introduce her and taught her how to mix. [2] In 2005, she participated in the album 3XHARD3R, the album presents the various trends derived from hardcore techno: a jumpstyle mix of DJ Ruthless and a hardstyle mix of DJ The Prophet, and a mix "powerrave" by Korsakof. [3] In 2008, she mixed one of the CDs from the triple album Bassleader 2008. [4]

[5] [6] On December 7, 2012, her album Stiletto reached 160th place in the Belgian music charts for a week, and it was also well received on Partyflock with a rating of 73 out of 100.
