Born in 1969, Jemaho started playing music in 1983. He had opportunities to play in legendary clubs like The Café D'Anvers or The Catacombes. He's now known for his infamous Nova Casa Jazz and the latter One15 Sessions. Jemaho is also the brain behind Jazzy Butterfly Records, a digital label that tends to prove that real Deep and House Music can also survive in this digital world. He has also, as a producer, releases on Xoom Recordings, Major League House, Série Limitée, Pocket Money and others!

Robaco Bossa, winner of the Defected Records Best Producer Competition (2009), is a DJ/Producer from the Netherlands. Robaco's love for music started at the early age of 11 as a drummer, however, having discovered house music in his teens, the young man started to combine and create his own beats with other instruments. Robaco’s early DJ sets saw him mix up deep, progressive, tech and minimal house, stirred up with a lot of groovy and funky elements. He got the recognition he deserved when he was chosen to perform at some major clubs around the world.

Things got even better for Robaco in the beginning of 2009 when he got his first record deal, with his first release ‘Bounce It Up’ appearing on Roger Sanchez's ‘Release Yourself’ radio show, and subsequently a worldwide audience. His next releases followed suit and his sounds were receiving support from established names in the international dance scene such as Roger Sanchez, The Shapeshifters, Chocolate Puma, David Penn, Laidback Luke, Housequake (DJ Roog &amp; Erick E), DJ Chuckie, Baggi Begovic, Gregor Salto and Youri Donatz to name a few.

Along with his successful track ‘Black Bird’ on Defected Records, he has also won a couple DJ competitions and conquered a residency at the SLAM!Cafe, hosted by the famous dutch radio station SLAM!FM. He did remix work for Chocolate Puma’s (Zki &amp; Dobre) imprint ‘Pssst Music Recordings’ and other major releases by Baggi Begovic &amp; Groovenatics, Youri Donatz, Josh The Funky1 , Dreamcity and Dos Palomas Negras, which gave him an internationally recognized name in the dance scene.

A new album and several remixes are just a small part of all future plans by Robaco. His own label ‘Bossa Records’ will become reality in 2015 and some other big projects will be announced in the near future.

It is a sure bet that the name Robaco Bossa will continue to grow.

Electronic music is in our DNA, and we cover the full musical spectrum ranging from disco to house, from intelligent dance music to techno, and everything in between. At DGTL, we differentiate with balanced programming. By giving talent a platform, we can develop our own headliners and form long-lasting relationships with artists from early on.

DGTL builds bridges between music styles and genres, aiming to blend different audiences and cultures. Our line-ups are a combination of the power of our global DGTL brand, and all the beauty that local cultures hold. We want to be inclusive for every gender, sexual orientation, origin, color and country. Everyone always should be and feel welcome at DGTL.

With DGTL Records we build on our festival’s musical theme of an evocative cross section of the sounds and styles; showcasing forward thinking, cutting edge artists. Besides this, the label also functions as a platform for newcomers. This results in the creation of a coherent selection of music with a true family vibe; we want artists to feel connected to the label, the people behind it and to the other artists. 

Our in-house label DGTL Records emerged from the DGTL festival brand and has a single focus on music and community. It combines both upcoming talents together with established artists, bringing unique music and cross-over sounds that both add to the electronic music spectrum.
