Oooh no, yet another Biography of such a promising hot artist.

Here we go: Dj, Producer and allround nice guy ONNO (24/01/1983) can be seen as one of todays most promising Dutch DJs and producers. He made his first mark in the dance scene by becoming the youngest ever resident of the notorious Amsterdam based clubnight Chemistry in 2001. A pretty decent playground for a 19 year old we must say! A few years later his production career took off in collaboration with Rocco Mundo. Their initial material landed straight in the boxes of Dubfire and Steve Lawler amongst others and it didnt take long before tracks were licensed to labels like Little Mountain, Renaissance and Stealth Records. Gigs all over the world in cities like Barcelona, Moscow, Miami, Munchen, Helsinki and festivals like Mysteryland, Dance Valley and Sensation White soon followed. Soon after he was picked up by Earth (Amsterdam) to join their team of residents and join their agency.

Fastforward to 2009, and we find ONNO with a matured sound firmly rooted in the underground. With 3 releases on Berlin based Upon You Recordings under his belt, and more releases and remixes planned on Tiefschwarz's Souvenir imprint, Suruba Records and Kina Music amongst others, it's easy to see why his future is looking so bright. And don't just take our word for it! People like Nick Curly, Tiefschwarz, Karotte, Anthony Collins, Tim Green, Audiofly, Gregor Tresher and many others are smashing clubs and festivals worldwide with the help of his tunes.

2009 is also the year his collaboration with longtime friend Victor Coral, PRESETONE, really took off. Since then tracks have been released on German Circle Music and Amsterdam based 90 Watts Records. Together they also organise Babylon, a tech house oriented clubnight at Amsterdam's number one club, Studio 80, where they invite (inter)national dj's and producers they esteem highly. Babylon was an instant succes and was sold out from the opening night. Guests include Audiofly, Tim Green, Davide Squillace, David K, Luca Bacchetti and Tiefschwarz.
