DIØN stands out in the realm of dance music as a remarkable DJ and producer, reshaping the dance floor dynamics with his distinctive style. His journey into the world of electronica began at Mysteryland Festival, marking a pivotal moment that steered him towards becoming a prominent figure in Hard Dance. By 2020, DIØN made waves with his release ‘Public Enemies’ through Autektone. Moving forward, in 2022, he chose to consolidate his music distribution by launching his own label, Rough Material, which now serves as the exclusive outlet for his music, including notable works such as the Rough Material EP, collaborations like ‘Make My P*ssy Rave’ with Ketting, the ‘Hard Rework’ of ‘Public Enemies’ in 2024, and the eagerly awaited single ‘Moments That Matter’.
This strategy has garnered substantial support from industry giants such as Amelie Lens, Fatima Hajji, Sarah Landry, Oliver Heldens, and Funk Tribu, reflecting DIØN’s exceptional ability to blend early 90s rave influences with contemporary hard dance elements. His live performances offer an exclusive opportunity to experience his music, intensifying the demand for his shows. His significant moments include a groundbreaking set at VERKNIPT 2021 and a sell-out 2024 event at Amsterdam’s Paradis, establishing DIØN as a leading act in the Netherlands and internationally, with an impressive schedule of over 150 performances in 2023.
Additionally, DIØN extends his artistic expression to fashion, creating unique apparel lines for each label release, demonstrating his diverse creative talent and contributing to a comprehensive brand experience for his fans. With a vast collection of new music ready for release and a tour schedule expanding into new global markets, 2024 is set to mark a pivotal year in DIØN’s career, transitioning him from a rising star to a top-tier artist in the dance music scene.
