DJ Jean, born Jan Engelaar, is a Dutch DJ and producer who shot to international fame with his iconic 1999 hit “The Launch.” His journey began in the late ’80s when he won the Dutch Mix and Scratch championships, and he quickly rose to prominence in the early ’90s as a resident DJ at the legendary Amsterdam club iT, where his high-energy sets and cutting-edge mixing skills made him a crowd favorite.

As one of the most influential figures in Dutch dance history, DJ Jean played a key role in the explosion of house music, releasing countless compilation albums and cementing his place on stages at major dance events, festivals, and radio shows.

Currently, Jean’s style spans everything from the high-energy world of EDM to the deeper, more soulful, groovy, and uplifting sounds of clubhouse. Alongside his partner in crime, MC Maron, the duo is known for their powerful back-to-back performances that blend House and R&B in a way that electrifies audiences. What truly sets DJ Jean apart is his unmatched ability to read the room—his setlist adapts entirely to the vibe of the party and the energy of the crowd. That versatility has earned him a rep as one of the most adaptive DJs among the big names in the game.
