BUSCEMI

Belgian DJ and producer Dirk Swartenbroekx has been playing and producing music under the name Buscemi since 1996. His distinctive musical style is described as warm electronica with elements of bossa, soul, jazz, house, Brazilian grooves, Afrobeat, Balkan, drum 'n bass, and dub. Buscemi makes all types of people dance. There are no boundaries.

Dirk has released nine solo albums to date, including three with Italian pianist and composer Michel Bisceglia, one album with Italian singer and crooner Rocco Granata, and two EPs with Spanish singer El Rubio. JAZZ WORKS, his album for the iconic jazz label BLUE NOTE, toured the world. The hit single "SEASIDE" reached over 3 million streams on Spotify and appears on over 300 international compilations. Other Buscemi tracks are featured on renowned dance compilations by DEFECTED, BUDDHA BAR, and CAFE DEL MAR. Most recently, in 2023 and 2024, he toured with Belgian blues legend Roland Van Campenhout. They recorded the Afro-inspired track "My Gris-Gris" together, which became an underground hit in Australia, in heavy rotation on national radio and independent stations. In 2024, he immediately made a remarkable classical single with the Belgian soprano Kelly Poukens called “Bachianas Brasileiras”.
