Mini bio
Does our resident dj Buscemi, aka Dirk Swartenbroekx, need any introduction? He has been spinning and producing since 1996. His distinctive musical style has been described as warm electronica with elements of bossa, soul, jazz, house, brazilian grooves, afrobeat, balkan, drum'n'bass and dub... So far, Dirk has released 10 solo albums, 3 albums with Italian pianist and composer Michel Bisceglia, 1 album with Italian singer and crooner Rocco Granata and 2 EPs with Spanish singer El Rubio. JAZZ WORKS, his record for iconic jazz label BLUE NOTE, went viral. The hit single SEASIDE reached over 3 million streams on Spotify and can be heard on over 300 international compilations. Other Buscemi tracks are featured on renowned dance compilations by DEFECTED, BUDDHA BAR and CAFE DEL MAR. Recently, in 2023 and 2024, he toured with Belgian blues legend Roland Van Campenhout. Together they recorded the Afro track My Gris-Gris, which became an underground hit in Australia and was played a lot on national radio stations and independent radio stations. Buscemi's groove is recognized worldwide, as is his fame as a remixer. He recently reworked tracks for artists such as Ozark Henry, Hooverphonic, Lady Linn, Isolde Lasoen, Melody Gardot, Madredeus and Calexico. Buscemi was one of the founders of the GLobal Dance Party in 2002 on Afro-Latino that ran until 2019. Our 25th anniversary is therefore the ideal moment to relaunch this opener of the festival weekend. He is accompanied by his Nigerian MC TD Rankin to spice up the show !!
