OUTSIDERS

With his unique and explosive mixing style full of adrenaline, his name appears on the biggest line-ups. With hundreds of bookings each year in the Netherlands and abroad, The Hague native Cem Araci, better known as DJ Outsiders, is one of the most respected DJs in the renowned Dutch hard dance scene.

Since the age of 12, Cem learned to spin records the old-school way: armed with vinyl, he tore down clubs and parties all across the Netherlands. In 2008, Outsiders began as a duo, but in 2014 Murat Meijer left the act. Cem carried the name solo — and it paid off. He received three gold records and one platinum record in hardstyle. His passion goes far beyond just dance and hardstyle, and he claims he’s never come across a genre he didn’t enjoy. “Whenever I go on holiday, I always bring back a local CD.”

“Music is art. Someone has put time and effort into it.”

Outsiders continues to shine as he raises the bar with exciting new releases and collaborations with some of the biggest hardstyle and EDM DJs of today. He doesn’t aim for specific goals, but standing still is not in his nature. Outsiders is always in the middle of a creative process. “As long as I do what I love, it will spread to my fans and my audience. You’ll achieve goals you didn’t even know you had.”

Do we need to say more? Outsiders goes full throttle and is a true asset to any event. If you’re looking to throw a real party — look no further. When you listen to his floor-shaking sets, it’s impossible to stand still. So be ready: Outsiders is coming your way!
