DJ JEAN, a name who left his indelible traces in the contemporary national and international club scene. Well known for his turntable skills, his notoriously rebellious dissolute lifestyle and especially as a dedicated DJ! He was also one of the first and very few DJ’s who gained his well earned status of a real Dutch celebrity! Jean is distinctive and overloaded with multiple awards, such as the SENA Award, an award for most played Club DJ on Dutch radio in the past ten years, he has been voted as Best Club DJ for several times ! On top of that, he recently, late in 2009, received the very prestigious Slam FM Ouvre Award! There are also numerous nominations at big Award shows like the TMF Awards and Silver Star Dance in the UK. And by the way, let's not forget he is the most booked DJ, 'ever', in The Netherlands.
His name counts many International classics / anthems as 'The Launch' and 'Every Single Day', but also more recent highly successful co-productions as 'Original Dutch' (#1 on Dancetunes.nl) and 'The Bomb', Jean is the only Dutch DJ who produced over more than 30 compilation CD’s ('IT' 4 to 9, 'Madhouse' 1 to 12), for a total sales both national as international of 500,000 CD’s! Also because of this international success, Jean has been spinning records at almost every party place all over the world! In over 20 countries and at numerous festivals in the most prominent and well known clubs! On the party Island Ibiza he played in all mayor clubs such as Amnesia, Pacha and Privilege. His homebase remains in The Netherlands, where he’s also a very welcome guest at parties from 50 to 50.000 people.
This high degree of flexibility in terms of locations, price and musical interpretation, makes sure his popularity is still that huge in his homeland, that means both with his own as with the latest generation of clubbers! The youngest and last generation’s even call DJ Jean the founder of the modern house and DJ scene, or Godfather Of House! This almost iconic status is obviously not created “just like that”, we’re talking about a DJ who does not want to be labeled for one particular musical style, but who loves to explore the rich variety of dance movements and always aims for the best during every gig! Whether it’s a grand cafe, a student party, club, festival, erotic or company event, his audience is the most important at any time; With Jean playing, no dancefloor is safe anymore, you better get ready to rock!!
In 2013 Jean hooked up with MC MARON HILL (Without a doubt Holland's finest on the mic) to gain even more power and impact for his performances! This resulted in a powerful tag team so strong that it created a vibe and sentiment in the Netherlands and across the border, unheard off and often described as ’stunning' and ‘unbeatable’!! This resulted in more then 300 very successful gigs in 2014, performing at worldwide infamous festivals such as Tomorrowland, Dutch Valley and many more. They also did a very successful Poland tour in the summer of 2014 performing at more than ten of the biggest and best known clubs in this great party country!
These days Jean's music style varies from the immense popular EDM sound to the more deep, soulful, groovy and uplifting clubhouse! Together with his partner in crime MC Maron, they are known for their strong combination (back to back) performances of House and R&B! The dominant music style in Jean’s performance completely depends on the crowd he is spinning for and party he is spinning at, at that particular moment, therefore making him the most "adaptive" DJ among the so called "big names"!
Expect a lot of spectacular and interesting developments from DJ Jean for 2015! For example Jean hooked up with DJ/ producer Peter Gelderblom and his young
compagnon mega talent Randy Colle as his new production team for at least ten brandnew tracks in 2015, already resulting in incredible collabs such as DJ Jean ft. Inaya Day - Think About it (released 26th of December 2014 on Beatport). Inaya Day was the vocalist on numerous big tunes for the last 15 years, such as Mousse T - Horny and many others. No need to mention that Jean is very proud to announce this collab with such an iconic artist and one of his favourite vocalists worldwide. In February 2015 another great track of Jean will be released on probably one of the most popular quality recordlabels worldwide of this moment Zulu Records.
Besides the collaboration with Inaya Day, Jean is also working on a new track with no one less then Dutch superstart Jay Jawson. This track which is especially created for the latest and youngest generation of Dutch urban and eclectic clubbers and will be released in the first quarter of 2015.
Keep an eye on all forthcoming new releases on SENZA (house/deephouse) and DIZPLAY (edm) recordings as these labels will only deliver highest quality tunes from the best new talents as well as already international renomated producers!
Finally, let's not forget that DJ Jean hosts an extremely successful radioshow in the Netherlands on Radio Veronica, an iconic radiostation in the Netherlands for more than 30 years now. Tune in every Saturdaynight from 02.00 - 03.00 for the latest quality tunes!
