About
Also known as: DJ Johan Gielen, Johan Willy Maria Gielen
Johan Gielen has been behind the decks since he was 17, and the Belgian trance DJ has since taken his sets from Japan and Australia to Germany, Spain, Israel and a residency at Club Gorgeous in Copenhagen. He was ranked number 57 in the world in 2005, which says plenty about how far he travelled in the scene. In the studio he works with partner Sven Maes, and together they're behind European hits under names like Airscape, Balearic Bill, Abnea and Svenson & Gielen. Their remix list is a wild mix: Chicane, Delerium, Vengaboys, Tiësto, Scooter and Boy George, plus a commercial dance single for Alice DeeJay. Before that, he teamed up with Oliver Adams as Blue Bamboo, who landed an international hit with "ABC & D" in 1994. He also hosts the weekly radio show "In Session" on Fresh FM, and in recent years he's put together the Trance Classics compilation series for High Contrast Recordings.
