Swanborn is born in 1992, grown and based in a small town Zeewolde.
During his whole life he grow up surrounded by music which created a really strong bond with it.
In 2014 he discovered electronic music and that was the time he started to go into the enormous world of techno and house music.
Love for festivals, love for clubbing in the night and all party’s in general get to know other dj’s and taste the atmosphere.
It was until 2017 when he bought his first DJ gear and since then he hasn’t stop playing music.
After a while it was time to create own productions. Completed a 1-year course in Amsterdam to learn from the start how to work with Ableton Live. Shortly afterwards he joined the DHA group to take his knowledge to a higher level.
Each project got his own flavour, creating and find the right sounds together is a journey everytime.
Swanborn put all his passion in it and try to let the people feel the vibes with his music.
He is involved in various music styles, because he also has a very broad taste in music. He mainly produces music that comes to his mind and is not really mainstream. Now he has decided to focus more on limited music genres. His taste now mainly goes out to Progressive house / Melodic house / Melodic Techno.
Artists that he currently very much appeals to are Ben Böhmer, Lana 8, Yoto, Tinlicker.
As a teen in the 90’s he immersed in the blossoming house and techno scene in the Netherlands even further strengthening his love for electronic music in all its forms. Not limited by genres but always looking for quality music. It was not until his discovery of the Steyoyoke label right at their start in 2012 that all his musical explorations came together in a genre that was a culmination of all the different elements that defined quality music: ethereal techno. From there he never looked back. As a DJ he still builds on different genres, but ethereal techno is always the cornerstone of any set he plays or mixes he records.
This year, inspired by a group of friends who had started producing and releasing via their own label Libertas, there was no doubt: he also wanted to contribute to the genre and start putting my past experience into music production also. This is the start of new chapter of his musical journey. Enjoy!
Born and raised in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. Madman J builded his first electronic vibes in the middle of the flourish 90’s, Tempted by surrounding influences from big names of the Dutch EDM industry, his love for music in many different styles became an everlasting passion.
