Taking a lead in the upcoming movement of genre-bending producers, you’ll find Swolenbeatz walking the fine line of hard-trance, house, electro and hardstyle. Giving the house scene back its bite, this rising talent is quickly making name in the game of EDM. For Dutchman Rik Zwanikken, the game is on.

Ever driven by the beat of dance music, Swolenbeatz started his career in a slightly different field. In his early years, he was a member of the ABC crew, one of the best Dutch break-dance crews. Igniting his passion for the musical side of it all, he bought his first turntables at the age of 15. Kicking off with breakbeats and hip-hop, he swiftly made the transition from breakdancing to the art of DJ’ing. Playing big festivals such as Mysteryland and Dancetour, Swolenbeatz established himself as an all-round electro-house DJ, stretching the curve of a blossoming career in music.
