DIØN: ARTIST IN DEMAND Once in a blue moon an artist emerges who does things to the dance floor that others can only dream of – a DJ who is the full package, a producer who makes you believe in dance music all over again. Once in a blue moon, you get an artist like DIØN. Eyes opened to the power of electronica during a transformational visit to Mysteryland Festival, DIØN is now one of the hottest properties in Hard Dance. In 2020 he dropped landmark single ‘Public Enemies’ via Autektone; by 2022 he made the decision to bring everything in house, setting up his Rough Material imprint. The label now stands as the only place to find his releases, including the four-track Rough Material EP, the Ketting collab ‘Make My P*ssy Rave’, the mammoth 2024 ‘Hard Rework’ of ‘Public Enemies’, and the hotly anticipated upcoming single ‘Moments That Matter’. The results undeniably match the hype; blending early 90s rave with synths, rough kicks and his signature drum sound, support has flooded in from the likes of Amelie Lens, Fatima Hajji and Sarah Landry, the latter also getting in the studio with DIØN, as has Oliver Heldens, and Funk Tribu. Outside of the studio, his shows have become the only place fans can hear his music live, creating an insane supply-and-demand issue.
