About DONAES
The elegant global sound of DONAES is a blend of tribal Balearic beats, deep house, groovy tech house, and melodic techno.
When house and acid house made their entrance in the late '80s, Dutch-born DONAES was intrigued by this new wave of electronic music. He started looking for instruments to create a bridge between instrumental and electronic music. Art of Noise, Kraftwerk, Jean Michel Jarre inspired him.
Starting with the 1991 drum parties on Benirras beach in Ibiza, DONAES focused on integrating live percussion with house music. Establishing an exciting international music career performing at major music festivals like sensation, Mysteryland, Innercity, and the World Music Conference in Miami.
While living in Paris, he was noticed in 2005 by the a-list luxury fashion scene for his exciting taste in music and natural talent as a DJ. He soon became a hotlist DJ for international fashion party's and shows.
In 2010 he moved to Barcelona and became a resident at club Shoko; while touring in Thailand, Japan, and South America. After that, dance mecca Ibiza stole his heart with weekly residencies in km5 and Pacha.
His spiritual studies of over 30 years laid the foundation for his mission to help humanity through his music and meditation. He is an avid swimmer and yogi with charming charisma, wisdom, and sensitivity, continually acting on his desire to help others grow in their field of creativity. He established Ibiza Spinners, an Ibiza-based DJ and music talent booking agency.
