The Spanish Dance

Dublin born and raised DJ & producer DART (@darttrax) has been at the forefront of Irish electronic music for years, first establishing himself as a resident at Dublin's legendary Hangar club, before winning AVA’s coveted emerging producer program in 2018. Since then it’s been a wild ride, playing in venues from Glasgow’s Sub Club to the Warehouse Project, while stopping off at venues like Index to play a legendary b2b with Skream, a connection made the previous year having remixed his track ‘Sad Days’ on IFEEL. 

Some of DART's most notable influences were passed down from his parents, both of which were immersed in Dublin’s ‘90s rave scene, where the sounds of trance and house could be heard across the city's evolving and ever-changing landscape. His love for progressive sounds has continued to be channeled through his work today and in DART’s own words sits “somewhere in between ‘90s progressive house, old school trance and modern techno.” 

His latest release on New York mainstay HOMAGE is a nod to both his past and current relationship with dance music, using elements that span techno, progressive trance & house; continuing to be influenced by the records passed down by his parents.‘Get up’ kicks things off and could be likened to the energy-tingling productions of modern house producers like Sweely, coupled with a vocal sample and breakdown that wouldn’t sound out of place in a classic trance record. ‘Juice’ twists the template further, with squelching acid sounds and dynamic percussion leading the charge. ‘Juice’ is also remixed by New Zealand’s Eden Burns (@djedenburns), who turns in an emotional, introspective rendition as we make our way through peaks and valleys with endless curiosity.

Having just sold out on vinyl, CC:DISCO!'s debut single 'Chez Moi (Waiting For You)' feat. Confidence Man is remixed by cult producer Spray, who takes CC's irresistible house hit in two radically different directions of tempo. The 'Club Spritz' mix speeds up the party with an infectious melody and shades of proggy pleasure that fit like a glove, while the 'Witching Hour' flips the vibe with a swampy, acid-tinged take. It's still waiting for you...

Jean’s biography

DJ JEAN, a name who left his indelible traces in the contemporary national and international club scene. Well known for his turntable “skills”, his notoriously rebellious dissolute lifestyle and especially as a dedicated DJ!  He was also one of the first and very few DJ’s who gained his well earned status of a real Dutch celebrity! Jean is distinctive and overloaded with multiple awards, such as the SENA Award, an award for most played Club DJ on Dutch radio in the past ten years, he has been voted as BEST CLUB DJ for several times ! On top of that, he recently, late in 2009, received the very prestigious SLAM FM Ouvre Award!  There are also numerous nominations at big Award shows like the TMF AWARDS and SILVER STAR DANCE in the UK . AND BY THE WAY, LETS NOT FORGET HE IS THE MOST BOOKED DJ, ‘EVER’, IN THE NETHERLANDS.

His name counts many International classics / anthems as THE LAUNCH and EVERY SINGLE DAY, but also more recent highly successful co-productions as ORIGINAL DUTCH (#1 on dancetunes.nl) and THE BOMB!  Jean is the only Dutch DJ who produced over more than 30 compilation CD’s (IT 4 to 9, MADHOUSE 1 to 12), for a total sales both national as international of 500,000 CD’s!

In over 20 countries and at numerous festivals in the most prominent and well known clubs! On the party Island IBIZA he played in all mayor clubs such as Amnesia, Pacha and Privilige.  His homebase remains in the Netherlands, where he’s also a very welcome guest at parties from 50 to 50,000 people.

This high degree of flexibility in terms of locations, price and musical interpretation, makes sure his popularity is still that huge in his homeland, that means both with his own as with the latest generation of clubbers!  The youngest and last generation’s even call DJ JEAN the founder of the modern house and DJ scene, or GODFATHER OF HOUSE!  This almost iconic status is obviously not created “just like that”, we’re talking about a DJ who does not want to be labeled for one particular musical style, but who loves to explore the rich variety of dance movements and always aims for the best during every gig! Whether it’s a grand cafe, a student party, club, festival, erotic or company event, his audience is the most important at any time; With Jean playing, no dancefloor is safe anymore, you better get ready to ROCK!!
