Diynamic

Lore & Background

Before founding Diynamic, Adriano Trolio worked as a promoter and was one of the first to introduce electro-house to Hamburg around 2002. Solomun and Trolio began throwing monthly parties, where Solomun met Stimming and H.O.S.H, who also wanted to start a label. The DIY name came from a reference to digital music. When Diynamic started, its sound was minimal, and it was among the first to mix old school Detroit sound in a modern European way. By 2013, the deep house played by Diynamic had pop influences, including many vocals, slow BPM, catchy bass-lines, and sometimes a chorus.

Diynamic has hosted major figures in German and international house music for ten years, including Solomun, Stimming, H.O.S.H, Kollektiv Turmstraße, Adriatique, ARTBAT, and Mau P. In 2011, the label launched a sub-label, 2DIY4 (to die for), as a platform for releases that do not fit the Diynamic concept but are considered necessary, often bringing in a more overt pop influence. The Diynamic Festival was created with Studio 80's representatives Jaap Mutsaers and Wytze Dijk to expand the brand beyond clubs. The first festival debuted on May 18, 2013, at Arena Park in Amsterdam, and subsequent editions took place at Amsterdam Bos and other locations, featuring only Diynamic artists. The festival has also hosted showcases in Mexico, Brazil, and Ibiza.
