DJ JM’s journey through the evolving landscapes of the European club scene paints a vivid picture of a dedicated artist continuously reinventing his sound and pushing boundaries. Originating from Vilnius, Lithuania,
and making a significant impact on the UK’s percussive club scene, JM quickly became a noteworthy figure in the late 2010s. His collaborations with notable names like TSVI, Wallwork, and NKC in London were instrumental in establishing his reputation. Known for his adeptness at creating rhythmically intricate and sample-rich tracks, DJ JM’s releases on labels like Even The Strong, Goon Club Allstars, Nervous Horizon, and his self-released EPs showcased his unique approach to music production.
In 2020, JM relocated from Copenhagen to Brussels, where he found a solid footing in the city’s vibrant underground scene. His involvement with Kiosk Radio and collaboration with Le Motel on an EP for Maloca
Records allowed him to explore a more melodic, bass-heavy sound. Since the implosion of the percussive scene, JM’s DJ sets and radio shows remained a testament to his prolific nature, consistently featuring a
fresh array of his own productions alongside eclectic house and electro selections.
In late 2022, JM returned to Copenhagen with a renewed sense of purpose and a disciplined approach to his craft. Embracing self-imposed creative limitations, JM’s “Abnormal,” project was born through Nervous
Horizon, which encapsulated his focused and raw energy. The past year in Copenhagen further fueled JM’s inspiration, particularly through playing at various parties and radios around the city. This experience led him
to focus on creating highly functional and groovy tracks, resulting in the “Barrakuda” EP. This latest release highlights JM’s ability to craft dancefloor-ready music that remains innovative and engaging, cementing his status as a dynamic and forward-thinking producer in the electronic music scene.

Artist > DJ > Producer > Storyteller 
Innovator of Hi-Tech-Soul. 

The music career of Dimitri Kneppers (1967), generally known as ‘Dimitri’, reads like an encyclopaedia. A Dutch encyclopaedia, that is. After  nearly 40 years of spinning records you could call him a true veteran, known for his enormous sensitivity, true feeling and mixing skills.

Dimitri starts his deejay career in clubs by the age of 17. 

In 1988 he obtains a residency at the legandary RoXY in Amsterdam and becomes one of the pioneers of house music in The Netherlands.

His HTSM (Hi-Tech-Soul Movement) nights draws clubbers from all over the globe to hear his own unique style of music and mixing techniques. 

By 1991 he spins at all the major (warehouse) parties in The Netherlands, Belgium and Italy.

He releases his first records and starts his own label Be.S.T. (Beautiful Soul Techno). 

From 1992 onwards he continues to take over the world with gigs from Tokyo to Australia, Paris to Peru and residences at Twilo in New York and Ibiza.

In 2007 Dimitri takes a 3 year sabbatical (after playing non-stop for 23 years), trading the club scene for life on a farm and voluntary work with children with learning disabilities. 

In 2010 he returns with his ‘All Night Long’ residency at the legandary club Trouw Amsterdam, one of the best venues in Europe.  

In 2013 he suffers from a life threatening bacterial infection and loses his right underleg. But he is back at the desks in Trouw in only 5 months, proving that music has the power to heal, one of his strong inner beliefs.

Today Dimitri plays in clubs and at festivals all over Europe.
At Amsterdam’s number one venue Thuishaven he finds his new residency for his infamous 10 hour storytelling sets, taking the crowd on a journey through a wide range of energetic, spacious, melodic and hypnotic musicstyles. 

As a producer Dimitri (Kneppers) is always working on new music.
He releases on labels like KMS, Planet E Communications Detroit and Metrohm.

Dj & Producer based in Amsterdam.
