1974 was a good year, the year where the Dutch soccer team lost the finals despite having a better team with players such as Cruyff, Neeskens, Rep, Schrijvers…legendary names that wrote history during a tournament where the Dutch stamped their mark on soccer and how it should be played. 1974 was also the year where Dani Hageman aka Muzikjunki was born, little did he know about soccer and even today he couldn’t care less. It’s all about music for him, always has been and always will be as it looks now and like other fellow Dutchmen he’s slowly stamping his own mark on today’s house music. Muzikjunki originally comes from Rotterdam and knowing these things it becomes clearer that his sound seems to contain the same elements that producers from Rotterdam all share, Energy!

Not a stranger to the dutch scene, he’s now slowly getting the recognition he deserves after working hard for many years which is starting to pay off. After having explored many styles it’s become clear that Muzikjunki has found what he’s looking for. His unique style blends house, hip hop, electro and a touch of progressive all into one infectious style of dirty beats and gritty bass lines.

Now joining forces with heavyweight Peter Gelderblom as studiopartners resulted in a single on Spinnin’ records ( Peter Gelderblom & Muzikjunki – Trapped ) a remake of the 1986 Colonel Abrahams track which is signed to 20+ countries so far and appears on several trendsetting compilations such as 538 Dancesmash 2008 part 1 and Slam FM’s Grandslam compilation. Furthermore he’s working ( solo and with Peter Gelderblom ) on new originals and remixes for a.o. Spinnin’records, Toolroom records, Ministry of Sound, Cr2, Subliminal, Little Mountain and Black Hole.

The next release coming up is a track by DJ Chus & Peter Gelderblom ( Feelin’ 4 You ) where Muzikjunki is the co-producer and responsible for 2 massive remixes on the CD single ( Spinnin’ records ). Also a new Project with Peter Gelderblom is going to be released this summer on Spinnin’ records as well and is a remake of the all time house classic ‘Quadrophonia - Quadrophonia’

His full schedule of DJ gigs doesn’t allow him to spend more time in the studio. It will be hard to name a club in Holland where he hasn’t been spinning yet….. He played alongside Underworld, the Chemical Brothers, Neneh Cherry, Ferry Corsten, Erick E, Sander Kleinenberg, Fedde le Grand, Marco V, Don Diablo, Pablo Ceballos & many more.

Keep an eye out to this original Muzikjunki, bigger things are on it’s way and nothing is stopping him now!

It’s the music that makes the Junki……
