‘Dirk is a purveyor of deep and funky house grooves that always make for a feel-good party atmosphere.’


Dirks love of music saw him grow up to an eclectic mix of sixties, soul, disco, drum & bass, house and techno. With such a mixed spectrum of musical influence, this translates today into a sound that can’t be categorised by one specific genre, but incorporates house, deep house and nu disco.

Dirk purchased his 1210s in 1991 and hasn’t stopped playing music since. With experience playing on pirate radio, digital radio stations,  various clubs and bars, he loves to have the opportunity to express himself musically to anyone who likes to party. Recently Dirk has supported the likes of Late Nite Tuff Guy and Purple Disco Machine.

Dirk has been lucky enough to travel the world, experiencing weird, wonderful and hedonistic parties in a variety of locations which have also provided an influence on what he feels a good party should feel like.  “For me, it’s all about playing funky music with a bit of an edge. The perfect party is when you can forget time and forget yourself. DJs need to get back to showing people a great time and stop taking themselves too seriously”

In 2016, Dirk launched his Queens brand in Edinburgh, bringing with it ‘eccentricity, glamour and a crazy carefree vibe’. With stellar line ups that include the likes of Dimitri from Paris, Pete Herbert, Late Nite Tuff Guy, Purple Disco Machine and Joey Negro, Queens provides something that hasn’t been seen in Edinburgh for quite a while. Keep your eyes open for future Queens parties; miss them at your peril!

Dirk left his family 7 years ago after a legal dispute. His hobbies include drinking, playing the guitar with his teeth and plucking his chest hair.
