Fedde le Grand — Melodic Progressive House DJFedde le Grand
Fedde Le Grand is a Dutch DJ from Utrecht whose international breakthrough arrived with 2006's Put Your Hands Up 4 Detroit, a record that reached number one in the United Kingdom. He made his UK debut on 9 November 2006 with that chart-leading single already in circulation, then built a DJ career around melodic, radio-friendly progressive house. His club history includes repeat appearances at Ministry of Sound, Pacha Ibiza, Space Ibiza, Pacha NYC and Panama, Amsterdam.
At Panama he held the Darklight Sessions residency, an important example of his long-running connection to club programming as well as headline touring. Le Grand has also assembled mix projects including Sessions for Ministry of Sound in 2007 and Toolroom Knights in 2010, while releasing through labels such as Cr2 Records, Kontor, Toolroom Trax, Spinnin' and Ultra Records. His DJ Mag Top 100 debut came at 22nd in 2007, and his best placement was 14th in 2011.
He also won two Beatport Music Awards in 2012 and received the International Dance Music Award for Best Breakthrough Solo Artist in 2007. From Ibiza institutions to major international club rooms, Le Grand's DJ identity has stayed centered on polished progressive-house selection with an accessible melodic edge.
