A Berlin-native with Ukrainian roots, Chontane has been carefully shaping his sonic aesthetic for several years. It’s his dedication on all levels and professions with sound that has fueled his rise in the international scene through consistent releases and gigs at Basement in New York, RSO and Tresor in Berlin, Bret and Radion in Amsterdam, Fold in London, Fuse in Brussels, or even Laster in Madrid. The young selector has passed through Europe’s most respected booths to play his percussive blends to motivated dancers. Whether it be in his regular DJ setup or his new vinyl/digital hybrid, Chontane’s sets maximize grain and transients while staying efficient and fresh all the same. As a producer, the impact of his records come from his long standing interest with the music, but also from his background and experience as a sound engineer. His work stands at a stylistic crossroads between various dance genres, easily slipping into just about anyone’s tracklist. His tracks have found homes on Mutual Rytm, Dax J’s Monnom Black, Remco Beekwilder’s EMERALD, ARTS, and Illegal Alien, as well as his own imprint TANE, where many more records will be released on a regular basis. Ready to push boundaries and surprise music enthusiasts with unexpected blends to fire off his erratic taste in music, Chontane’s mixes and productions represent today’s necessity for the perfect balance between consistent innovation and guaranteed efficiency.
