Dennis van der Geest

The Netherlands has not only produced many world-class judokas (for example, Anton Geesink was the very first Westerner to beat the Japanese at their own judo game), but also the world’s foremost deejays. It seems that Dennis van der Geest is well on his way to achieving both accolades. Among a bagful of judo medals, he became world judo champion in the men's open division in 2005. Another feather in his cap was a bronze medal in the men's heavyweight division at the 2004 Olympic Games. 

Moreover, for many years, he has brought the same level of dedication – some would say fanaticism! – to the music table. Dennis van der Geest has long been an enthusiastically received guest DJ at a wide variety of dance parties. On top of that, he has been the star attraction at massively attended events organized by himself. 

DJ Dennis van der Geest’s repertoire can be best described as trendy and highly danceable groovy house with vocals and heavy b eat. He even makes forays into 1960s and 70s disco music, when he feels that the crowd is thus inclined. Truth be told, only the life-weary would dare to challenge the musical tastes of a heavy-weight judo world champion! In short, Dennis is always the life of the party, oozing power, passion, talent and joie de vivre. He released his first single, To the Sunshine, in mid-2008. This track is a collaborative effort with DJ- producer Ronald Molendijk. 

In recent years, the Dutch media have turned Dennis van der Geest into a household name. Blessed with the gift of the gab, the musical judoka has become a fixture on Dutch TV. In the coming period, Dennis will be working for various media outlets to shed more light on the Dutch dance scene as a whole and report on dance events featuring him as part of the DJ lineup.

One of the most dedicated, hard-working figures in the industry, Grammy-nominated DJ, producer and label head, EDX, has spent almost three decades at the forefront of electronic music. Founding the internationally renowned record company Sirup Music in 2002, his imprints have chartered hits by iconic acts including Avicii, Armin van Buuren, Steve Angello, Tiësto and more. Establishing a joint-venture with Enormous Tunes, his Helvetic Nerds crew (including Nora En Pure, Daniel Portman, Croatia Squad and Sons of Maria) have seen global domination with their distinct sound. Aside from playing a crucial role in nurturing many successful artist careers over the years, his own vast catalogue of chart-topping original productions and remixes have amassed one billion streams on Spotify alone, and attracted an adoring international fan-base in the process.
 
His revered NoXcuses radio show on iHeart (formerly on SiriusXM’s Electric Area) is broadcast to over 40 countries twice a week, and hosts events around the planet under the same name, including during Miami Music Week and an annual New York yacht party. His international touring schedule often sees him traversing multiple countries and continents each week, holding residencies at some of the world’s most iconic clubs (Space Ibiza, Privilege Ibiza and Wynn Las Vegas to name a few) while consistently performing at the most esteemed festivals on the global circuit. 
 
The forced hiatus in international touring during much of 2020 and 2021 allowed EDX to channel his creativity and energy into other parts of his business. He spent considerable time with his label and management teams in Zürich to navigate the turbulent period and ensure a smooth and quick transition out of lockdown. 
 
Back in full force, 2022 was one of his most prolific years to-date, boasting an array of releases on prestigious imprints, including Don’t Be Afraid with Allie Crystal and sampling Dennis Parker’s iconic Like An Eagle in Holy Wood with Frey. Continuing this momentum in 2023, EDX released Renascence, and reunited with Frey to revisit an all-time dance classic The Rhythm Of The Night, receiving special permission from the original’s creator Roberto Zanetti. 
 
Entering 2024 ready to showcase the magic he has been cooking up in the studio, EDX brought his first single of the year to light titled Vividra. Dedicated to experimenting with new sounds, while maintaining his indomitable EDX production quality, his next release Setema breathes modern flair into his globally adored sound. Tried and tested from Miami to Ibiza over recent months, it has formed an instant connection with audiences in every set. His impressive musical output keeps him at the helm of the scene, and is one of the most cherished acts in dance music; a position that he has held for almost three decades.
