Listener

Cape Town based psytrance DJ. Weaving stories with groove, uplifting melodies and solid basslines. Listener is the psytrance project of Dean Claassens.

After being introduced to his first outdoor festival in 2012, the bug bit and he tried to attend as many festivals as possible. After having a profound experience in 2013, the seed of playing psytrance music for others had been planted. Being ever inquisitive, Dean had spent many years teaching himself the theory of DJing before finally purchasing his equipment and teaching himself practically. Li

stener is very much led by melody, believing it to be the fundamental character in which a musical journey can be created. I believe in creating flow in music to hold a space so that those present can feel safe to evolve within themselves and to receive what they need at the time. Listener debuted at Summer Camp in November 2021 to emphatic positive feedback and has played at every Summer Camp festival since. He has also been asked to play at festivals in the Garden Route of the Western Cape, including ECHO Gatherings and Community. In Cape Town, Listener will be found on many Hidden Leaf Festival line-ups.

Shyaw, so this past weekend was off the shizzle.

The Hidden Leaf Festival boys did not pull out ANY stops for A CITY IN THE SKY - DRANGED BIRTHDAY BASH - the production, sound, DJs, visuals, decor, etc. etc. etc. was world-class.

Huge shout-out to DAN SCOT and DrangedOfficial for including me in this monumental event - onward and upward okes!
