Dear fanatics, today we are thrilled to present to you a true gem in our lineup – a DJ, founder of a legendary label, and a dedicated collector who has devoted nearly 30 years to Oldschool Goa Trance!
DJ Draeke is the founder of DAT Records, later collaborating with DAT Universe and Unreleased Goa Records and a specialist in the highest calibre of Goa and Psychedelic electronic dance music.
He started performing at parties in 1998, mostly in Italy, where he played House, Dance, and Progressive Trance music. He started mixing Goa Trance, Techno, and Ambient in 1999 when he started getting booked more regularly and played at different venues in Italy, the UK, Uruguay, and Belgium.
During the 2009-2019 period, he played at a large number of parties and festivals in Belgium, Israel, Portugal, Germany, Spain, Romania, Serbia, Poland, and Macedonia.
After the pandemic, he started performing at events again, notably with gigs in Israel and India. As a label owner and longtime collector of rare and exclusive tracks from the DAT era of the 90s, Draeke has a phenomenal archive of mind-bending music from the heyday of the Goa scene.
