De La Montagne

History: 1996, a magic year…Dennis (De la Montagne) started buying his first records. While he was clubbing he heard music he wanted to play at home. There was just one problem…the tracks he wanted to buy after hearing them in the clubs appeared only on vinyl. After buying his first records it didn't take long before the first used turn-tables were bought, together with a mixer. Now he could mix his own music and a passion was born.

Dennis had a dream of a real DJ career, but no actual plans. The dream became reality in 1999 when the organisation Kriti Vibes asked him to play on a pre-festival party on a beach in Crete. Kriti Vibes were so enthusiastic about his performance, that they offered him another gig at the main festival. During this main event he not only played the first hour, but without any experience Dennis played prime time. They asked him to take over the spinning table from his hero Erick E. In front of 8000 people and the rolling cameras of MTV. You can imagine that this experience gave him the vibe he needed to make his dream come true, a DJ career!

Dennis changed his DJ name from Denniz into De La Montagne in 2013 and formed a group Men&Cherry with vocalist Jennifer Cooke, sax player Ace on Sax and percussion player B-on drums with who he is rocking the clubs as we speak!
