Amsterdam-based DJ and producer Philippe Gimbrère (aka Gimbrère) creates uplifting, dancefloor connecting and melodic (house)music.

At the age of sixteen Gimbrère met ‘90s Dutch DJ legend Dimitri Kneppers who invited him for his performance at the long-running Amsterdam techno festival Awakenings in 2012. Because of this experience he saw the connection between the artist and the audience from another perspective. The energy created by this extraordinary link triggered Gimbrère into making music. 

Making music depends on finding inspiration and to be honest there is no secret formula for Gimbrère to get creative. However, he feels most inspired when he envisions a crowd’s response to a certain rhythm, melody or harmony. When he grasps this image, he wants to convey the same exact feeling, this surge of energy through synths, snares and (drum)samples.

In addition to completing his law degrees and invigorated by his peers, the hobby of a YouTube self-taught late-bloomer is growing into a professional endeavour. 

With his first single “A Thing”, appointed by DJ Mag as “hard-hitting, funk-sampling belter”, Gimbrère started to create waves in the scene, which led to a top 5 ranking in the Indie Dance and Nu Disco genre on Beatport.

Moreover, his tracks have been picked up by some big names in the industry including Annie Mac, Denis Sulta, Groove Armada, MK, Solardo, Steve Lawler and Wankelmut to name a few.

What’s more, multiple plays on BBC Radio 1, among which his release on Sulta Selects Silver Service, can be seen as hugely exciting milestones.

The love and passion for music shows when Gimbrère is on stage and with his refreshingly versatile and hard to categorise productions, Gimbrère has just begun showing the world his musical view.
