I've been DJing off and on since the 80s, got serious during covid and started to record and post weekly sets. I've an odd format - I pick 16 new tracks each week, mostly from ZipDJ, and put them together to make a set, I don't pick tracks which go together, just what I really like. Making them flow is often a real challenge. I love sharing the music I love.

My set descriptions are often about my journey of healing.

Captivating the underground house scene, this DJ is a master at weaving together 16 fresh tracks of underground house each week, delivering a live set that's recorded and shared with the world on SoundCloud. 

A true aficionado of the genre, his mixes explore the depths of underground house, including progressive, deep, tech, and minimal styles. Their signature style can be described as a spacey, trippy, and flowing journey that effortlessly spans various subgenres, taking listeners on a sonic odyssey that transcends the mere concept of a setlist.

The roots of this sound are deep and nourishing, sprouting from a childhood home reverberating with the sounds of big band, jazz, showtunes, classical, and the pop and rock anthems of the 1960s. This diverse musical upbringing birthed an eclectic taste in the young DJ, who, as a teenager, was magnetically drawn to the burgeoning world of electronic music. The 1980s saw them at the heart of the scene, spinning tracks at house parties and crafting mixtapes that were the analog precursors to today's playlists.

A pivotal relocation to the UK in 2010 marked the discovery of a new realm of sound—underground house music. This discovery was not just a step but a leap into a world that resonated with their very being, influencing not just their music choices but also defining their identity as a DJ. From past to present, their biography isn't just a tale of beats and tunes, but a chronicle of an ever-evolving love affair with music that beats at the heart of the underground scene.

Dirkie Coetzee started his career in the EDM scene as a bedroom DJ way back at the tender age of 16. After spending numerous years perfecting his mixing skills he quickly started to feature in night clubs, events and radio stations around Southern Africa. It was in this time that Dirkie started to gain interest in the art of music production. 

“I used to be a DJ, but thanks to the wonderful world of music production I can now create the music I want to play.”

Without any formal training in music theory, rhythms, chord progressions, sound synthesis or music production in general, Dirkie set out to learn this fine art by scouring any available articles and tutorials available on the internet. With many years of trial and error Dirkie slowly refined his skills as a music producer to create the sounds you hear in his music today.

“It’s hard to stay motivated when you feel like you are not achieving anything with your music, but passion for music always dies a slow death and quitting is never an option for me.”

It’s this passion for music and trance music production in particular that has helped Dirkie to get his music signed to some of the best labels in the business.
 
2011 is the year Dirkie Coetzee focused all his energy and time on producing Vocal Trance. His debut Vocal Trance production “Never Looking Back” with world renowned singer and songwriter Emma Lock has given Dirkie a solid platform to showcase his ability to craft this powerful genre of music. American artist Marcia Juell is another one of the world’s leading Trance Vocalists that has worked on collaborations with the rapidly rising producer from South Africa.
