DABBLE PRESENTS-LUUK VAN DIJK

One of the hottest new names coming out of Amsterdam’s bustling nightlife is Luuk van

Dijk, currently making waves in international waters with his infectious take on spirited

house music. Firmly rooted in the oldschool, yet decisively forward-minded, Luuk is on a

ceaseless quest to forge the dopest basslines and the tightest grooves. After releasing on

some of the world’s leading (tech) house labels and carving out an international touring

schedule, Luuk is now taking the next step with the launch of his own label Dark Side of the

Sun.

Appearing on the radar of many new fans just this past year, Luuk’s success certainly did

not come overnight. It’s the culmination of making countless hours in the studio since the

age of 15. While others were playing video games, Luuk was already sifting through sample

packs and saving up for his first vintage synthesizer. His education at Herman Brood

Academy further honed his musical vision and skills. Not only did he learn a lot from

collaborating with classmates there; it also made him realized that he’s a proper gear head.

His warm personality and relentless energy behind the decks took care of the rest. Over the

past decade, Luuk has become one of the most in-demand DJs in Holland.

Now that Luuk has arrived on the world stage, the time has come for an even deeper

journey into sound. His releases on labels like Hot Creations, Cuttin’ Headz, Solid Grooves

Records and Eastenderz have established his name as a house music prodigy. Luuk started

his own label Dark Side of the Sun in 2020, to explore a broader approach to his signature

style. This has resulted in a series of superb releases by artists like Ben Sterling, Sidney

Charles, Boris Werner and himself. Luuk: ‘I enjoy the freedom to release the music I believe

in. The sound is a bit rougher than people have come to expect; even the sun has a dark

side to it.’ And that’s only the beginning; a series of showcases is set to hit the clubs in

2022
