Hailing from the land of the northern seas, DJ Hones is a distinctive personality in the international DJ scene. He is known as much for astonishing crowds with his track twists as for packing the dance floor. From B-Boys seeking hip-hop to Electro-loving fashionistas, DJ Hones is known for playing to diverse audiences across the globe. 

A descendant of Denmark’s first Viking king, Harald Blue Tooth, this native of Copenhagen began conquering the music scene at the tender age sixteen. His DJ skills led to a position at Copenhagen’s Power 101.2 FM as Music Director and Drive Time Personality. It was there he created Denmark’s first pre-eminent Hip Hop radio show, Pickuppen (Needles) which exposed the then underground art form to the mainstream masses. A deal with Sony Music Denmark under the rap moniker Slim $ soon followed. Mid-way through recording his first album, Hones realized that changed was needed. He soon ditched his alter ego Slim $ and set his sights on New York City, the birthplace of Hip Hop. 

Arriving in the late nineties, he immediately began playing at a slew of New York’s hottest haunts – Pangea, Soho Grand, and NV to name a few. Hones has supplied the soundtracks to parties for Elite Model Management, Dick Wolf Productions, US Tennis Association, Patti LaBelle, Alicia Keys, Snoop Dogg and a host of others.
