Maarten Pordon

Maarten Pordon first saw the light of day in 1984. He was born and raised in Utrecht but quickly relocated to Amsterdam. Growing up in musical surroundings he got acquainted with vinyl very early on in his life, typical because "Frankie Knuckles goes to Hollywood - Two Tribes" was even his birthday song. Though he wasn't allowed to touch his father's precious Beatles records, if dad was out of sight for just a bit, Maarten was already practicing his DJ skills. Right then and there is where his addiction started.

The following years this 'interest' evolved into an uncanny love and passion for electronic music. He started working in the industry twelve years ago, build a solid network and is now promoting his very own festival Symphonica Elektronica, which gained a lot of attention with it's exclusive five minute rave that spread quickly throughout the world.
Artists like Trentemøller, Laurent Garnier and Dixon deeply influenced his way of experiencing music and pleasing crowds at big open air stages and venues like Paradiso, Melkweg and Tivoli.

His sound reflects his every day creative charm and enthusiasm, and therefore doesn't have a fixed form. With his timeless interpretation of House music he always finds a way to be edgy and refreshing. Whether as a 3-hour warm-up set or late night gig, it'll be packed with loads of energy (and women)…
