About Boris Dlugosch

In the relatively short but intense history of modern dance music certain names come back again and again, withstanding the tests of time by skilfully adapting their sound to the ever mutating, often unpredictable demands of the dancefloor. With 37 years experience under his belt, during which time he has become one of Germany’s most respected and well-known DJs, it’s fair to say Boris Dlugosch is one of those names. Probably best known for bestowing dancefloor credibility on some of the biggest artists around through a string of intuitive remixes, such as his acclaimed rework of Moloko’s ‘Sing It Back’, he also remains committed to the underground scene that has helped shape his career. In fact it’s been this ability to bridge the uneasy divide between underground credibility and commercial success that has given his career such longevity. Softly spoken but fiercely passionate about his work, it’s clear to see that he’s driven by a basic desire to deliver music to the people. It seems this infectious urge was always there; as a kid Boris would spend hours editing out the talk between hits on the radio before over-dubbing his own intros - now in the eleventh year of doing the real thing with his essential Friday night show on N-Joy radio, he still get a buzz from unearthing new tracks as much as ever. Interestingly, this desire to keep the fires burning will soon manifest itself into a new label, dedicated to promoting up and coming artists from around the world.
