APNEA

DJ Apnea entered the psychedelic trance scene in 2003, making his debut at the iconic underground club The Zoo in Belgium. Since then, he has carved a unique path through the global psytrance community with his distinct sound and creative vision.

Originally signed to labels such as Kairoo and Naturall Productions, Apnea now calls Maharetta Records, Magic Phangan, and Funky Freaks Records home. With support from respected artists in the scene, he has found the freedom to fully express his musical identity—delivering sets that are groovy, crisp, and deeply psychedelic, filled with mind-twisting details and a touch of hypnotism designed to guide listeners into altered states of consciousness.

Apnea’s journey has taken him around the world, with performances in Belgium, France, Sweden, Japan, Singapore, Malta, Germany, Austria, Nepal, Indonesia, and Thailand. His deep connection to the global psychedelic community led him to the legendary island of Koh Phangan, where he became a resident DJ at Ban Sabaii, known as the “Home of the Happy People,” and a regular at the iconic Experience New Year Festival on Koh Tao.

In addition to his musical pursuits, Apnea is also the creative force behind Digital Thangka, a visual arts project focused on graphic design and photography. His artwork has graced releases for Naturall Productions, SPUN Records, Magic Phangan, and promotional material for renowned events like VuuV Festival and The Experience Festival.

Combining sonic exploration with a strong visual aesthetic, Apnea continues to inspire both on and off the dancefloor—embodying the spirit of psychedelic artistry in every form.
