Gearjunkies 10 Years: A Look Back - Gearjunkies - Music tech news, Reviews, Videos, Synthesizers, Studio, Recording
Our regular visitors and Twitter followers have already noticed that this week we celebrate the 10th Anniversary of the presence of Gearjunkies.com on the world wide web. Today we take a look back. So, ... how did it all start then, back in 2003. Two guys from Eindhoven (The Netherlands) were sitting outside a cafe enjoying a drink in the sun. Marc van den Hurk, a DJ/producer and studio owner, and Mark Dobrinic, a software programmer, were discussing the remains of a webshop project that went 'belly up'. From this project a database existed with lots of gear and the related product information. Both thought it would be a shame if this information would be lost. But what to do with this database? Why not create an information portal for gearheads and gearlovers alike?
