Dutch DJ and electronic musician Geert Stapelkamp produces industrial-tinged techno and electro under the moniker GIF, the visual "Graphics Interchange Format" - which overlaps with the Dutch word for "toxin". Heavily influenced by early big beat acts - like The Crystal Method and The Chemical Brothers, as well as electro producers such as Dagga and Djedjotronic - GIF's psychedelic tracks inject a dose of colour back into the modern club scene, which haven't been heard since the rave era. He built up a cult following with his latest releases, and his sound keeps evolving with every new record.

Geert was born in The Hague, the Netherlands in 1990. He began listening to electronic dance music as a teenager and began experimenting with music production when he was 12. After a long journey of experimenting with different styles and sound, he debuted the GIF project in 2018 with "Paradise Lost": a single, released by Full Finger Records. "Hatsaflats", a very experimental record, would soon follow on the same label. They recently released an EP under the name "Psychedelic Selection I", suggesting a continuation in the future of multiple albums or EP's bearing the same title.
