Thomas Goethals, stage name The Flexican, is a Dutch / Mexican DJ. He is a member of the group Flinke Namen.


Thomas was born in Mexico City and has lived here the first nine years of his life. When his parents split up, he came with his mother and brother to the Netherlands. He landed in Buitenveldert. There he became a DJ.

Together with his friends Andras Caron and Yousef Gnaoui they started the DasDatDing parties. A series of parties that started in Club More in Amsterdam. Although DasDatDing only lasted for three months on a weekly basis, it opened the door to the dj scene in Amsterdam for The Flexican. Around this time he worked for a restaurant where people asked him to spin at weddings and business parties alike. After working a year for different restaurants he attended The School for Audio Engineering, which he graduated from two years later and where he mastered the style of music production and mixing.

He has the name Flexican chosen because he was born in Mexico, so he is a Mexican and he is very flexible in his work. In 2004, The Flexican, together with Sef and Mc Fit, started the group Flinke Namen and in 2005 rapper Murth joined them. His Mixtape Op Volle Toeren appeared in 2008, along with The Opposites and Dio.

Around that time he started making mixtapes. He handed these tapes out to various people. One of who was Real El Canario, an established dj in the Eclectic music scene. Real pointed the tape out to different agents. This is where The Flexican's career realy started to kick off.

The Flexican has his own club nights under the name Yours Truly in Jimmy Woo in Amsterdam, and in 013 in Tilburg. During these evenings, he is always assisted by Sef.
