djB'S Biogrpahy:

Pinning down Zouk's house stalwart djB's style is as easy as finding pearls in oysters. But one thing you'll find for sure is his innate ability to build a scorcher of a set with his arsenal of exhilarating and sweat-inducing gems. If you need affirmation to just how wicked he can be, check out his recent remix for Dj Yass & Abicasoul - "Yassoul" and his sensuously beat-driven techy single "Incheon" on JJK's label Reversoulmusic which is a certified sweat-inducing dance floor monster. Always one to push the house sound to a whole new level, it's no wonder he's been cited by Martin Solveig & DJ Gregory as the best house DJ in Asia at the Junction Bali press conference 2005. From Japan (Womb) to Ibiza (Pacha), Berlin (Cookies) to Miami (Opium Garden) djB's never failed to get happy House-heads wet, willing and wild to his unique blend of four on the floor sounds. Even House heavyweights like Roger Sanchez, Jay J, Feddy Le Grand, Claude Monnet & others have supported djB's productions released under international labels like Soulfulric/ Look At You/ Mapdance/ Reversoulmusic/Ssoh to euphoric effect, you know you'll be in for a wild ride with djB. With an outstanding mix on the Defected 'Zouk in the House' compilation cd in 2008, there's definitely more global success in store for djB. www.myspace.com/zoukdjB.
