Justin Prime
Justin Prime, born Justin Putuhena on 12 May 1986, pursued a progressive and electro house career shaped in part by his formal training as a sound engineer, a qualification earned at Utrecht University documented on his Wikipedia page. His breakout moment came with Cannonball, a 2012 collaboration with fellow Dutch producer Showtek that gave him wider visibility within the electro house scene during its commercial peak in the early 2010s.
That technical background as a sound engineer set him apart from many peers who moved into DJing without formal audio training, and it has informed both his production work and the quality of his live sets. Prime's catalogue sits within the broader wave of Dutch progressive and electro house that dominated mainstage festival bookings during the early to mid-2010s, a scene built around collaborative singles between producers rather than solo careers alone.
His sets blend melodic progressive house elements with the more aggressive electro house energy typical of that Cannonball-era sound. While detailed biographical information beyond his Wikipedia entry remains limited, the sound engineering credential and the Showtek collaboration together anchor a documented career within the Netherlands' prolific 2010s dance music export scene.
