DATASMOK is an alias of Rave veteran @albert_van_abbe showcasing his roots in the Dutch underground squat- & Tekno scene. A raw niche that he was intimately involved with during the early 2000’s, performing live-sets at illegal raves throughout Europe where playing countless hours knee-deep in mud for dogs on acid was the norm.

The DATASMOK project was kickstarted by default when Guy Tavares and Albert decided to release archived tracks from van Abbe on Tavares' Bunker Records, a label Albert has been working with since 2007. Ever since Reaktor-events got wind of the project and asked DATASMOK to close their event Kartharsis at the Elementenstraat Warehouse in Amsterdam, DATASMOK requests have kept rolling in. 2017 is seeing a brand new DATASMOK E.p. on Bas Mooy's MORD as well as a Penik Ettek / DATASMOK split on rave imprint Repitch.

'real name-no gimmick'

Born and raised in the south hideout of the Netherlands and moving through life with a DIY attitude. Picture this with his taste and devotion for characteristically uncompromising techno and the Dutchman's fundamentals for his signature sound are no longer a secret. Continuing on the heritage of electronic music he's aiming to create a nostalgic getaway. He's most identified with a tougher groove and hard-hitting rhythmic journeys.

Embracing the underground electronic culture with open arms the Dutchman formed his label EMERALD, releasing records from himself and others. Humbly pushing foward his vision of electronic music when it matters most.

There are few artists carving out a legacy for themselves like Dax J is right now. The British DJ and producer from London has gone from the backroom parties to headlining raves at every major techno institution the world over, all whilst staying true to the underground with an individual style all of his own. His technical skill, pure selection as a DJ and attention to high-end sound production has placed him at the forefront of a global scene, and established him as a singular presence within modern dance music. 

Recent accolades for his unswerving devotion to his sound have included places in the top 100 DJs polls published by Resident Advisor, DJ Mag and Groove Magazine. Over the years, he’s also received nominations as Best Techno DJ, Best Breakthrough DJ and Best British DJ from Mixmag, DJ Mag and the DJ Awards. He's renowned for playing mammoth closing sets at monumental parties including 10-hour marathons in the world’s most notorious techno clubs, Berghain and Bassiani.

Also known as a prolific producer and successful record label boss, his trademark sound remains in constant rotation among the most respected DJs in dance music, a style which was first fully recognised on his highly acclaimed 2015 album, "Shades of Black". Upon its initial release on his own Monnom Black label, Mixmag named it "Album of the Month", Hardwax described it as “brilliantly banging” and it also took the coveted No.1 spot on Juno Records. 2018 saw Dax release his multi-faceted second solo album “Offending Public Morality”. The record won support across the board, including that of BBC Radio 1 who picked it as their “Biggest Record of the Week”. By the end of 2018, “Offending Public Morality” also featured in the “Top 50 Albums of the Year” lists for DJ Mag, Tsugi and Apocalypse Mag. Two more events that crowned a year of great success were his enrolment into the BBC hall of fame with the release of his debut Radio 1 Essential Mix, and Be.At.TV’s choice of his 4-hour closing set at NeoPop Festival for their “Best DJ set of the year”
