1993 is the DJ moniker of Jules, a Brussels-based artist and co-founder of the RUGIR party series. Deeply rooted in the city’s scene, he brings a sharp and passionate ear for the sounds that shaped the early 2000s.

He is driven by an obsession for progressive music’s golden era — the years where labels like Forensic, Shinichi, Plastica or Bedrock defined an unmistakable atmosphere. Through collecting, archiving and mixing these tracks, 1993 aims to craft the perfect trip: immersive, narrative and nostalgic, capturing the sensations of old Ibiza and a time when house music was everything, before Berlin even became officially cool.

For his first radio residency on Microwave, 1993 invites listeners into the R00M 601, a space dedicated to exploring the depth and richness of early-2000s progressive sounds. Each show is designed as a guided journey into that era’s emotional landscapes — a comfortable, warm, transportive trip through the music that shaped his artistic identity.
