Emerging from the underground heart of North Brabant, The Netherlands, Johnny Distortion crafts a sound that transcends the ordinary — mysterious, hypnotic, and relentlessly driving. His music is where deep, pulsating basslines meet euphoric melodies, building a bridge between the raw power of hardhouse and the timeless spirit of classic club energy.

As the founder of Distraxx, Johnny shapes his own sonic universe — one where tension and release are masterfully balanced, and every track feels like a descent into rhythm-fueled hypnosis. His latest album, Millenium: The Club House Collection, captures that essence perfectly: a journey through deep club textures and euphoric highs that blur the line between nostalgia and the future of the underground sound.

After shaking the floor at TOEN: The Classics, Johnny Distortion returns to the stage on January 24, 2026, ready to unleash another immersive set — one that pulls dancers into a trance of rhythm, emotion, and pure distortion.
