CHUCKIE IN CONCERT:
Dutch DJ/producer Chuckie is a progenitor of the nascent dirty house scene, helping create the genre with his Dirty Dutch series of albums characterized by needly synth lines over Latin-infused EDM beats. His appeal to fans verges on a full-out cultural movement, drawing hordes of beat-hungry followers to club events featuring dancing, state-of-the-art light shows, and other interactive stage elements. Hot on the heels of a lauded New Year’s Eve performance at the Cosmopolitan in Las Vegas, Chuckie has fans chomping at the bit for tickets to his 2014 club dates.
BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
Chuckie's Latin roots help explain his unique brand of house music — born in Paramaribo, Suriname, he grew up influenced by the small nation's multi-cultural music scene, beginning to earn a reputation for his innovative mixes as a DJ during high school. After his early singles began climbing the Dutch charts in the mid-2000s, Chuckie kicked off the Dirty Dutch album series with his 2007 full-length release of the same name. A slew of albums, singles, and remixes would follow, including productions for T-Pain, Lil Jon, and Marina and the Diamonds. While his reputation as a producer has continued to build, Chuckie's skills as a live performer continue to be his biggest strength, making him one of the most coveted international club DJs in the world.
