Bart Claessen

DJ & producer based in Weert, The Netherlands. Born: January 22, 1980 (Asten, The Netherlands) Bart Claessen started playing music at a young age. At the end of the 90's he had a little studio and with this equipment he produced his first track. That track, "Barthezz - On The Move", was released in 2001 and it became 2001's summer-anthem. Next year saw the follow up, "Infected". In 2003 Bart started a new project called "StereoShaker", releasing the track "Rock 'n Roll". After these two projects, Bart released his first track under his own name, remixing loads of Trance artists, became a key member at [l=Yakuza] and later [l=Anjunabeats]. After his track "Fantomah" in 2011, followed by a significant hiatus, he decided to move a bit further from Trance with his singles at [l=Big & Dirty] and took Dubstep and Electro House on his flag. In 2014, he founded his first own label [l=Playmo Sounds] and the success of those tracks lead him to [l=Mainstage Music] too. In 2017, he suddenly decided to retire from making music and using social media platforms.
