De La Montagne

History 1996, a magic year…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.

De la Montagne 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 he 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!

So he started a brand new concept named GrooveXpress in Nighttown Theatre Rotterdam. The specialty of this new concept lay in combining his music with live artists such as sax players, percussion players and vocalists. As a result, they offered him a resident DJ spot in Club Las Palmas. This club became winner of the best Dutch club award in 2003. To get a good impression of a regular clubnight at Club Las Palmas, watch the video. Unfortunately the club had to close its doors in 2005. Meanwhile a lot of organisations want De la Montagne to play at their parties all over Holland. This resulted in gigs at Extrema Outdoor festival, FFWD Dance Parade and Sneakerz to name a few. At the end of 2006 he was asked to play as a resident DJ for all Hed Kandi events in the brand new Club Vie in Rotterdam. Nowadays Club Vie is the hotspot and the most succesfull club in the city. Hed Kandi even asked him to play at some international events at Ibiza and Kazachstan.
