GOEZD learned how to DJ in 2002, after enlisting at a Disc Jockey School in Denpasar, Bali. After studying, he began spinning at private parties around Bali. During his early years as a DJ, House and Progressive, were his favourite genres. In 2004, GOEZD expanded his reach, by playing several gigs around Indonesia, such as Papillon X6 (Jogja), Hugos (Jogja and Malang), Liquid (Jogja), V6 and 360 Club (Surabaya), Blue Eyes and Kamasutra (Bali), Dancing Hall (Kupang) and others. During his journey, GOEZD explored other mainstream House genres, before finding his niche in Tech House and Techno. He formed the dynamic duo, 'Dkay and GOEZD'. They will be appearing back-to-back at the festival, representing Deejay Club Bali and Bali Techno Mafias. www.mixcloud.com/goezd Inst: #goezd FB: @Goezd

DJ GOEZD

DJ GECO ‘’Purveyor of deep, infectious dance grooves and feel-good atmosphere.” That’s how GECO describes himself as a DJ. Never afraid to go too deep, his emotive musical selections are his own therapy. Having grown up on his father’s eclectic combination of funk music (George Clinton, James Brown), European electronica (Kraftwerk, Tangerine Dream), synth-infused 80s music (Depeche Mode, Gary Numan)... all which became infused with his own love for house and techno music, GECO ended up with quite a mixed spectrum of musical influence. Today, this translates into sets where he picks apart and infuses together all the pieces of this music that he loves best: beautiful synth work, ethereal backdrops, brooding basslines, and dark melodies... all on top of a pronounced foot stomping house and techno beat. A very active member of his local community, GECO is no stranger to the ups-and-downs of a small-town music scene. Though he loves playing in nightclubs, festival, and special events, his love for music goes beyond the spectrum of mixing tunes. As a producer and promoter, he has found plenty of ways to express himself musically. He also likes to write his music in his free time. “For me, it’s all about mood and a deep, hypnotic groove... playing those tracks that get you tapping your feet and nodding your head without you realizing it, regardless of genre, tempo, style, or release date. “
