DAIRMOUNT

Born in Brussels in 1973 / Dj since 1993 / Based in Berlin since 2012

The core of my passion has always been to share quality music with people and I fulfilled my mission of being a "Music Entrepreneur" throughout the years in many roles: DJ, Music maker, radio host, Music magazine editor, label owner, A&R, playlist curator, event promoter or artist manager. I'm part of a DJ generation that cherished DJing as an art form, bringing the audience on a wide musical journey, and breaking boundaries between genres. Laurent Garnier, Moodymann, Gilles Peterson, Theo Parrish, Francois K, Ge-ology, Antal, Marc Seven, Mr Scruff and Ron Trent, all represent this philosophy and inspired me greatly. In Berlin, people such as Woody, J.A.W, Tom Kutsche, Session Victim, Finn Johannsen or Marc Schneider, keep that spirit alive with brilliance.

° This year, I started a seasonal residency at the respected Djoon Club in Paris, playing alongside Rocco Rodamaal, Thakzin & Laurent Garnier.

° I have been the co-founder and A&R of the Room With A View label (from 2009 to 2022) and A&R of the Memories imprint of French House pioneer Rocco Rodamaal (from 2018 to 2024)
