Bart Skils

artist image
Bart Skils’s career started in 1995 when he moved to Amsterdam and started working for Outland Records. First playing in Amsterdam’s legendary Mazzo club he became resident with his own weekly Voltt nights. Known for his smooth mixing and dynamic sets he steadily developed into one of Amsterdam’s finest and most respected DJ’s. His style ranges from rhythmic techno to deep minimal electronics, always funky and danceable.

He is also founder and host of the highly respected Voltt and Traffic events, both situated in Amsterdam. Traffic is based at the famous Melkweg venue and focuses more on the true techno sounds while his Voltt events, based in Dutch poptempel Paradiso, are more minimal and smooth. With his regular appearances along guests such as Richie Hawtin, Heiko Laux, Oscar Mulero and Ricardo Villalobos the Traffic and Voltt nights are seen as one of the leading club nights around with a great fan base and good atmosphere.

On the production level Bart Skils has been active releasing on Pure Plastic (London) and 100% Pure (Amsterdam). Both labels have a long history and reached a classic status through the years releasing artists like Mark Broom, Orlando Voorn, Surgeon, Steve Rachmad, Oscar Mulero, Derrick May, Ben Sims and Baby Bord.

With his residencies in clubs like Paradiso and Melkweg alongside regular gigs at all the major dance events and festivals like Awakenings, Lowlands, Innercity, Pinkpop, Dance Valley, Extrema and 05 Days Off he’s built himself a strong solid reputation for quality music.
