    their own biography

    the whole biography
    After becoming one of the recognized artists associated with the rise of the organic house movement, Dim Kelly gradually established a musical identity that reaches far beyond a single genre. Rather than being defined by a scene, his work revealed a broader artistic universe — one where pure house music, groove-driven rhythms, melodic atmospheres, and emotional storytelling naturally coexist. While melodic elements have always been part of his signature, his foundation remains deeply rooted in house music itself: groove, shuffle, swing, percussive energy, and the physical connection to the dancefloor. His sets are designed as evolving journeys, capable of moving from intimate emotional moments to raw peak-time energy without ever losing coherence or identity. This instinct for movement and timing was shaped over more than a decade spent alongside Kid Creme and Junior Jack, both as a close collaborator and within their circle, surrounded by some of the era’s most influential hit-makers. Rooted in the golden era of house music in the 2000s, this foundation still defines his approach today: for Dim Kelly, house music remains the essential language — driven by rhythm, groove, and a festive, human energy that always finds its way back to the dancefloor. His work gained international recognition through a series of successful releases on Lee Burridge’s All Day I Dream, where his EPs consistently reached the Top 10 of the Organic House charts. Alongside this, he has released music on respected labels such as Armada, while continuing to expand his discography with two albums that further showcase the depth of his musical universe. Dim Kelly has performed worldwide, building a reputation for delivering sets that balance emotional storytelling with real dancefloor impact. In parallel to his artist career, he has also composed music for international brands, including Givenchy. Today, his musical identity exists at the intersection of emotion and function — where musicality meets rhythm with precision. Whether in the studio or behind the decks, Dim Kelly creates experiences that are both refined and powerful, designed to genuinely move people.

    their own biography

    the whole biography
    Christian acquired his love of electronic while growing up in the UK. It wasn’t until he moved to New York, however, that he would attend his first underground party and find the sound that would capture him and inspire him to step behind the decks himself. Since then, Christian has become a staple of the underground scene, a party enthusiast, and an avid techno tourist. After some time as a free agent, Christian’s sophisticated taste in music earned him a residency for Bespoke Musik where he has entranced audiences with thoughtful, layered DJ sets. In 2021 he became a resident of Beachouse in Ibiza, where he provides the soundtrack for sunny days on Playa D’en Bossa. He has also recently joined the All Day I Dream roster, having contributed multiple videos to the All Day I Stream series, as well as being booked to play All Day I Dream events at Space Nightclub in Miami, Cova Santa in Ibiza, and the All Day I Dream festival in California. His music blends a focus on the low end frequencies with a melodic, sometimes melancholic touch. The end result is just as suited to a nightclub dancefloor as a desert sunset, with enough versatility for everything in between. Life came full circle with the brand that helped launch him; Christian currently manages the Bespoke Musik record label and runs the brand with founder and friend, Rocky Raminceanu. The second Bespoke label release was a collaborative side project with German All Day I Dream artist, Powel. The two met in Brooklyn whilst sharing the lineup for Christian’s first Bespoke residency, marking the start of their musical partnership and Christan’s foray into musical production. Some of his notable bookings include Gazgolder and Leveldva in Moscow, Fabric in London, Piknic Electronik in Montreal, Flash in Washington DC, Café D’ Anvers in Antwerp, Sisyphos in Berlin, Output and Cityfox in Brooklyn, Do Not Sit on the Furniture, Space and The Electric Pickle in Miami, Beachouse and Cova Santa in Ibiza, and Robot Heart, the 747, Miki Beach and Pink Mammoth at Burning Man.
