1974 was a good year, the year where the Dutch soccer team lost the finals despite having a better team with players such as Cruyff, Neeskens, Rep, Schrijvers…legendary names that wrote history during a tournament where the Dutch stamped their mark on soccer and how it should be played. 1974 was also the year where Dani Hageman aka Muzikjunki was born, little did he know about soccer and even today he couldn’t care less. It’s all about music for him, always has been and always will be as it looks now and like other fellow Dutchmen he’s slowly stamping his own mark on today’s house music. Muzikjunki originates from Rotterdam and knowing these things it becomes clearer that his sound seems to contain the same elements that producers from Holland all share, Energy!

Not a stranger to the dutch scene he’s now slowly getting the international recognition he deserves after working hard for many years which is starting to pay off. After having explored many styles it’s become clear that Muzikjunki has found what he’s looking for. His unique style blends House, hip hop, electro and a touch of progressive all into one infectious style of dirty beats, gritty bass lines and catchy vocals.

Joining forces with heavyweight Peter Gelderblom in 2008 resulted in a single on Spinnin’ records ( Peter Gelderblom & Muzikjunki – Trapped ) a remake of the 1986 Colonel Abrahams track which was signed to 20+ countries and appeared on several trendsetting compilations. While playing for major brands like Ministry of Sound & Pacha and holding residencies for Moscow’s hottest club 'Discoteque' and Sander Kleinenberg’s This is... events all over the world, Muzikjunki’s DJ schedule for 2010 included dates in countries such as UK, Russia, Germany, Spain, Ibiza, Dubai, Holland, Ukraine, Austria, and a lot more coming in 2011. Muzikjunki played alongside Underworld, the Chemical Brothers, Neneh Cherry, Ferry Corsten, Axwell, Erick E, Sander Kleinenberg, Fedde le Grand, Sasha, Marco V, Laidback Luke, Funkerman, Don Diablo, Pablo Ceballos & many more.

This year will also be the debut of a new project named 'Fabulous addiction', a collaboration with ex Milli Vanilli singer Fab Morvan. The debut single 'See the light' is planned for release on Wazzup! records by the end of May and is already being tipped as one of the summer anthems for 2011. 2011 will also be the year in which Muzikjunki's debut studio album entitled 'Junkyard stories' will be released on Sander Kleinenberg's This is imprint. On this album, Muzikjunki shows his diversity as a producer in the fullest. From pop to dance to breakbeat and back, Muzikjunki is covering the full musical spectrum on his debut album. The album release will be in the summer of 2011 and besides single releases from the album, there will also be several Muzikjunki releases and remixes this summer on labels such as : Wazzup!, Flamingo, This is, Black Hole and BDR Music.

Keep an eye out for this original Muzikjunki, bigger things are on his way and nothing is stopping him now!

It’s the music that makes the Junki...
