Seamlessly weaving between DJ, producer, label head and promoter, TENCION’s relationship with music has always been particularly intense. His dedication to the cause has been unflinching since his earliest years. He grew up in a free-spirited household, surrounded by music. At the age of 10 he started listening to radio shows on a daily basis and entertained himself by recording his own home-made radio shows using the weird and wonderful albums he found in his parents’ record collection. Heavily influenced by 80’s bands like Tears for Fears, Depeche Mode and Simple Minds, Tencion’s (real name: Dimitri van Arnhem) endless devotion and relentless love for music have now taken him to a point where he is beginning to shape the musical world around him. Through his own family of labels –Lowendcommunity (2010) and Nightworx/NWX (2011) – he launches his own productions and musical tastes upon the scene. His first ever release (as “The Low End Theory” ) called “Waking Up Benirras” (2010) instantly got picked up by Laurent Garnier, who put the track on his PBB online radio show playlist for many months. His most recent works have received praise from artists like Nick Warren, DJ Tennis, Baikal, Patrice Baumel, Guy J, Terry Francis (Fabric, London), Francois K, Lee Burridge, Danny Tenaglia, Dimitri from Amsterdam and Agoria.
