The Dirty Dutch sound was no doubt a huge part of the EDM explosion. Alongside a few others, Chuckie was behind that. A pioneer of the adrenaline-seizing pulses of bleeping Dutch house, Chuckie has made his mark as a dancefloor destroyer. In 2014, the Dutch house sound wasn’t the main focus as it once was, instead evolving into a sound with many disciples. The Dutch trap sound and the Melbourne bounce sound are just a few that have taken influence from Chuckie and the like. But did you know Chuckie isn’t really just about Dutch house? Sure he’s got his label Dirty Dutch, but there’s a LOT more to know.
The first (vinyl) record Chuckie ever bought was the "Beat Street" original soundtrack
"When I moved from Surinam to Holland at the age of seven, my mom didn’t allow me to take that record with me in my suitcase."
He became a barber at the age of 15
His two all-time favorite movies are “Juice” and “Menace II Society”
He discovered his love for electronic music via breakbeat and drum & bass
"One of my all-time favourite records is still Awesome 3's 'Don’t Go.'"
