BIOGRAPHY:

LEUNEN is an electronic music producer who channels deeply personal struggles into powerful, resonant soundscapes.

By filtering years of life experience, painful moments, and battles with depression and ADHD into his craft, music has become his steadfast ally—an escape he has relied on since he was 12 years old. He continues to forge his own path, completely alone. 🛤️

His music is a testament to resilience and emotional depth. His mission is one of giving back: to offer his tracks as a source of strength, hope, and inspiration for others navigating hard times. ❤️‍🩹 This journey is dedicated to his late friend Dean, who passed away during the pandemic and always believed in the dream. This loss remains his driving force and motivation to someday stand on the big stage. 🕊️✨

For over 20 years, music has been his therapy, his outlet, and his dearest friend in a hardening world. His appreciation for sound evolved from a foundation in punk rock and metal to a dedicated passion for the electronic spectrum. A pivotal visit to the legendary Belgian club Bar-a-Bar ignited the spark for DJing and production. 🇧🇪 He drew further inspiration from iconic venues like Montini, Silo, Fuse, Decadence, and events like 10 Days Off and Cocadisco. These magical times remain the blueprint for the emotion he implements in his own sound. 🔥

While he feels that the cultural landscape has been severely damaged by political mismanagement, taking so much from the community, he holds onto the conviction that music will always triumph and endure. ✊

His sound moves freely across genres: from Groove to Deep House, Minimal, Tech House, and Electro, to Progressive, Melodic Techno, and Afro House. As long as it remains underground, it belongs in his repertoire. 🎶

He is relentlessly focused on progress, building his dream step by step. While he remains modest about his current achievements, the ability to finally infuse his music with genuine feeling is a powerful revelation. The journey is ongoing, but the path is clear. 🚀
