DIØN has rapidly become more popular name in particular in the world of Hard Dance and Techno. His association with Verknipt has been a key highlight in his career, debuting on their ADE stage in 2021 and quickly becoming an integral part of their global shows. His ROUGH MATERIAL label showcase at Paradiso sold out in minutes, and his epic 10-hour set at Thuishaven in June further cemented his place in the industry. DIØN has garnered support from genre superstars like Amelie Lens and Fatima Hajji, making him a notable figure in the techno scene.
DIØN’s rework of Tiësto’s ‘Traffic’ stands out as a serious achievement. He masterfully blends the iconic elements of the original track with his unique style, featuring aggressive synths, powerful basslines, and intense percussion. The cover, which has been named the official anthem for the Verknipt ArenA 2024 show, resonates with both longtime fans of the original and new listeners, showcasing DIØN’s ability to honor the past while pushing the genre forward.
DIØN’s journey into electronic music started in his childhood. Growing up, he often listened to his father’s Tiësto CDs during car rides, with ‘Traffic’ being a standout track. This early exposure fueled his passion for techno, eventually leading him to pursue a career in music production and develop his signature hard-hitting sound.
