Diana Plays Louder

Diana is a dutch dj, living in the Rotterdam area.
Music has allways been her passion and to her it's also the best way to connect and unify people.
Diana's been in the scene since the early days of house. In '89 she had her first underground club experience when she was in Berlin with her highschools German class, during the events of the wall tumbling down. Later she became part of the Rotterdam partyscene when house slowly started taking over the dutch dancefloors. She witnessed the first raves ever and she allready knew then that this was unstoppable and going to be massive.

In the early nineties she left the partyscene, because being a guy back then meant you had to go in to the miltary. During that time she also got into a relationship, got married and started living a mainstream peoples "dreamlife". She even became ceo of a shipbuilding / steelconstruction company. Around 2013 she was no longer able to live the lie she was living, she came out, lost her wife, her job and yes the all important social status.
Slowly breaking free from all the social constructs she rediscovered herself and her passion. In 2016 she started dj'ing for the first time. On her first gig she was picked up by a local underground promotor and soon after that became a resident dj in an undergound place called "The Bunker". She's also co-founder of the techno event Ground Zero which is an underground dance event.
Diana Plays Louder about dj'ing:
"Music is the best way to connect and unify people and bring them joy and happiness. If all is energy then everything vibrates and therefore all is connected. From that perspective I approach all things in life and I use that same principle in my sets. When I play I want to create a moment in time in which all can experience complete freedom and just be in the now. I want them to float over the dancefloor, give them ecstatic bliss."
Diana's style is not easy to describe. In her sets she uses flowing combinations of deep, dark, dramatic, progressive and techno sounds with ecstatic highs and unsuspected explesions of good memmories and positive vibes from te early days of house. It's deep, it's high, it's sexy, it's funky, it's groovy, it's dirty and maybe even a little dangerous…
