DJ Vato Gonzalez & MC Tjen
DJ and Producer Vato Gonzalez and MC Tjen, the original Dirty House Bastards, have been touring relentlessly for the past 5 years rocking more then 2000 stages to the bring of total insanity.
Earning his stripes in clubland by gigging relentlessly for almost a decade, Vato Gonzalez gets his big break in 2007, when he decides to unleash the first 'Dirty House' mixtape to the public. The fast-paced mixed first mixtape proves to be an instant hit with the crowd and spreads like wildfire all over the internet, resulting in more than 150.000 downloads. When asked what 'Dirty House' actually is, Vato Gonzalez states: "Whether your kid brother or the biggest super producer in the World has produced the record, I could care less. Genres do not apply, whether it's tech-house, progressive, Brasil Funk, Baltimore club or electro, as long as the tune has that essential energy to rock my socks! Goodbye to the boring overproduced and politically overhyped records of the past! Hello to the thumping, rocking, down low and dirty records of the future, which give punters their money's worth when they go out clubbing." Quickly after the launch of the first mixtape, he starts with 'Dirty House' events and as the brand/genre grows, he keeps selling out clubs with his 'Dirty House' concept, starts hosting 'Dirty House' areas at massive events and as a result, he becomes one of the main festival attractions in Holland himself. Around this time, he also hooks up with his sidekick & partner in crime, MC Tjen, with whom he soon becomes one of the most lethal DJ/MC combos in Holland, tearing the roof of many clubs with their unparalleled energy and nonstop hype during their performances.
