Always found in the eye of a dance music storm, Netherlands institution Woody van Eyden is still occupying A-lists and the sharp end of trance, having first wowed discotheques as a teenage sensation in the 1980s. Over forty years later and Woody’s legacy makes him a genuine legend of the electronic music scene, packing several decades and record boxes worth of highlights into a proud multi-hyphenate portfolio: gigs, productions, remixes, labels, multiple aliases and dance collectives, and pretty much every facet of the music business, both on and off the dancefloor and around the world.
Woody’s winning mentality, ignited by DJ championship successes at the start of his career, and crowd-pleasing persona always offering dancefloor service with a smile, make him the model dance music representative, platform provider and networker. His is a humble mission statement: “it’s a bizarre world out there right now, and if I can at least bring some joy and good vibes to people through my music, I will have achieved my goal”.
Finding his sound and style after spending formative years in Ibiza, Germany and Mallorca, the one time Deejay Woody’s elevation to the top tier has birthed successful scene-dominating partnerships with ATB, Sequential One, Rank 1, Talla 2XLC and an enduring, devastating double-team alongside Alex MORPH. “Listen to your heart and passion, and work only with people that you feel good with”, he says as conqueror of all of dance music’s creative aspects, yet as someone who is never satisfied with slowing down or settling for second best.
With a simple “stay focused” mindstate running through everything he does – no small task when powering through the Netherlands’ ever eventful dance music landscape - Woody’s Music and Artist Agency, the Clubgroove, Fenology and Heaven’s Gate labels, and School for Engineering and Audio Producing, make him the ultimate all-rounder when it comes to giving the world a groove to get into. His DJ travels, acclaimed by peers and given glowing references from Armin van Buuren and Judge Jules marvelling at his entertainment value in a world of faceless fader pushers, have filled several passports as a trusted club and festival headliner, with floor fillers such as ‘Embrace the Rainbow’ and ‘Unfinished Symphony’ racing up charts while soaring skywards at equal velocity, a galaxy of stars have been treated to the van Eyden gold standard, with remixes for Armin van Buuren, Jam & Spoon, Atlantic Ocean, Aly & Fila and Paul van Dyk.
His influence spanning five decades, Woody still feels his highlights reel can run on and on, all in the name of “creating good memories together. With everything I do I am always driven to make people happy and smile”. Promising to return to his early dance roots in 2025, even after all this time, Woody van Eyden remains one to watch.
