Now based in Berlin, Simon Beesting is a DJ and producer from Auckland, New Zealand.
After initially learning the skills of club DJing in mainland China, he moved back to New Zealand and was co-founder of DIRTY, a night of tough, underground tech house and techno at Aucklands Fu Bar. The party was a staple on the Auckland club scene for two years, and laid a solid foundation for future club experience and skills behind the decks.
In 2004 Simon made the long journey to Berlin to play 4 club nights around the famous techno capital. This included a set at the original Tresor, and sparked an interest to return 2 years later and live permanently in the home of German hedonistic excess!
2005 saw the end of the "Dirty" club nights, but regular gigs and residencies at Enter The Dragon and Automatique, and his own new venture "Jack The Box", with fellow Auckland DJ Matt Drake.
Simon has been producing music for the last five years. The sound is influenced by House, Techno, and Minimal electronica and always has an eye on the dance floor.
2008 is shaping up as an exciting year, with Krankenwagen, the first release on District of Corruption followed by a second release on the label in July, and a stash of new material ready to be tested on the ears of Berlin.
