The Jackin' House Vibe

DUTCH is known for his unique take on Jackin’ House — a sound fuelled by groove, skippy percussion, and chopped-up samples from funk, disco, soul, R&B, and swing. It’s energetic, urban, and irresistibly danceable—music that makes your body move before your brain catches up.

“I dive into the groove and tell a story every time I hit the decks. It’s all about that moment when the whole room moves as one.”
— DUTCH

The Stage Presence

When DUTCH hits the decks, he doesn’t just play music—he creates a vibe. Dressed sharp, exuding confidence and charisma, he commands the room while making every guest feel part of the experience. With a magnetic personality and crowd-savvy set building, DUTCH creates unforgettable party moments that feel organic and alive.

From Club Roots to Festival Heights

DUTCH cut his teeth in Wellington’s clubs before residencies at Euroclub, Sugar Reef (Auckland), and Planet Earth. He went on to open Whangarei’s first techno bar, The Mezzanine, and later launched the massive nightclub Insomniakz, playing alongside legends like Sam Hill, Greg Churchill, General Lee, and Mikey Havoc.

Collaborations and appearances at The Old Stone Butterfactory and Salut (with Recloose, Nathan Haines, Soane) further shaped his sound. These experiences gave birth to his signature Jackin’ House style—deeply groovy, layered with funk, and always crowd-focused.
