Coone B2B DJ Isaac

1 upcoming festival

Two hard dance lifers in one booth: Coone's Dirty Workz melody against the harder, older end DJ Isaac has worked since the 90s.

Coone is Koen Bauweraerts, a Belgian hard dance producer who founded the Dirty Workz label and has spent much of his career on the melodic, euphoric side of hardstyle, with big vocal hooks and long build-ups. DJ Isaac is Dutch and came up in the mid-90s hardcore and gabber scene before shifting toward hardstyle, keeping a rawer kick and a darker set of sounds than most of his contemporaries. Put in the same booth, the two trade records across that divide, with Isaac's harder material sitting against Coone's more anthemic tracks.
