The Korsakoff project was started by Bart Kok in 2001, in order to release more melodic and mainstream-oriented material than with his main alias Catscan. Bart first used the fake identity of Jeroen Kanon to sign the Korsakoff tracks.
In 2004, when Bart left the Third Movement label to found the Pro Artist Management label together with DJ X-Ess, the Korsakoff project started being fronted by Lindsay van der Eng. Since then she appears on the covers of Korsakoff releases and performs deejaying as DJ Korsakoff.
