Dimitri 40 years

Dimitri takes you on a unique, all-night musical and visual journey where past, present, and future merge into one euphoric experience. With the help of all the creative minds, friends, and fans Dimitri has gathered over the years, we will push Ronda to its limits.

Dimitri is widely recognized in the Netherlands and beyond as a key pioneer of DJ culture. He was among the first to seamlessly mix house, techno, and drum ‘n’ bass. As a DJ at Amsterdam’s RoXY club starting in 1988, he played a crucial role in introducing these new music styles to the Dutch nightlife scene.

His forty-year career has been marked by numerous milestones, including Dimitri’s Hi-Tech Soul Movement nights at RoXY, residencies at Chemistry in Escape, and performances in Ibiza, New York’s Twilo, and Trouw. As the first Dutch artist to enter the DJMag Top 100, he paved the way for a wave of homegrown artists who dominated the DJ charts in the following years.

Throughout his career, Dimitri has overcome significant challenges. In 2013, he lost his lower leg to a life-threatening bacterial infection. Within five months, he was back behind the turntables – a testament to the healing power of music for him. Today, Dimitri performs every weekend at clubs and festivals both domestically and internationally.

For this special project, Dimitri collaborated with new media pioneer VJ00-KAAP and word artist Wordbites.
