In Demand: DJ Fountain

For anyone who thinks trance is the only electronic music style coming out of Holland, they are so wrong! Although a few Dutch trance DJs are still incredibly famous for drawing massive crowds, what’s really going on in the nightclubs of Amsterdam is a sound very different.

It can be dark and techy, or it can be fun, funky and very fresh. The latter is the sound that is gracing the decks of one of our favorites, DJ Fountain, who I had the pleasure of interviewing for this latest installment of In Demand.

Inside the IM with DJ Fountain & littlemissbluedress

With a strong passion for every aspect of the music industry, DJ Fountain is creating his life’s work in ways that many only dream of. While continuing to DJ at some of Amsterdam’s best clubs, he also spends a lot of time producing music and working at his booking agency ‘Epiqurus.’ If you’ve ever had a passion, but didn’t follow through with it, DJ Fountain is a perfect example that you can make anything happen, if only you really try!

I met Jerone Fontein (DJ Fountain) last March at the Winter Music Conference in Miami. Being that we enjoy the same brand of house, we spent most of the week together traveling to the different events. One such traveling experience included Jerone and his Epiqurus partner Roger in the trunk of a jeep. It was a ride that I will always laugh at, but it was also when I first heard a sample of Fountain’s high quality production. The track was absolutely beautiful, one that always makes you smile.

The set that you are about to hear will do just that. Fountain put a lot of thought into each track he’s selected. A sexy smooth intro leads us into a very funky groove, laced with euphoria. I know this is a mix which you will play again and again and again, enjoy!
