Biography

One of the most promising artists to come out of Amsterdam is David Labeij. Now that Polder (his live production together with Lauhaus) has been established as an high quality techno outfit, he has more time to focus on his solo career. Musically situated on the verge of hypnotic deep house and delicate techno, Labeij is rapidly gaining international grounds with his distinct and captivating take on futuristic dance music.

David Labeij started DJ-ing in the late nineties, pioneering with bringing deep and spaced out tracks to the Amsterdam crowd. This was in fact long before ‘minimal’ was even considered as a genre. After the turn of the century, when more of the Dutch started to catch on ‘minimal’ techno and deep house, Labeij was already producing tracks of his own. His career accelerated when he became studiopartners with Lauhaus and got signed on Shinedoe’s Intacto as Polder.

After the album ’Poldermodel’ (2008), Labeij had the time to further develop his own signature sound. Where the infamous Polder groove is aimed at blowing up dancefloors, Labeij’s solo tracks are more on the hypnotic side of techno and house. Releases like ‘Shakedown’ and his ’Feel Like T EP’ all show a profound mastery of the studio as well as a keen ear for spellbinding sounds.

A new level beckons, as Labeij is becoming a household name in spaced out four to the floor mayhem. His sets - live and dj - are notorious for their mesmerizing qualities. One moment you’ll find yourself on the dancefloor, the next you’ll be drawn into a blissful state of oblivion. As David is leaving a trace of believers anywhere he plays, nothing should stand in his way to achieve a major status.
