Dee Montero doesn’t stand still for long. He’s the Belfast-born house-head who went from collecting early rave mix-tapes to digging in the vinyl crates and finally making the giant leap to global music selector – supported by some of the industry’s biggest players from Pete Tong, Lee Burridge and Solomun. He received his biggest accolade in 2017 landing Tong’s Essential Tune Of The Year on BBC Radio One for what Solomun called his secret weapon – the string-fuelled, epic end-of-nighter ‘Halcyon’, released on the maestros acclaimed Diynamic imprint.
From Asia to America and everywhere in between it’s all been about the music for Dee. Performances in Australia, India and Dubai have been interspersed with appearances at Burning Man on the Robot Heart and Carl Cox’s Playground stages (a career highlight if ever there was one) as well as summer shows in Ibiza including Hï with Joris Voorn and Nic Fanciulli. With global support for his style and musical selection it wasn’t long before going solo as a producer was instinctive and essential. With critical releases such as ‘Full Body’ on Saved and the epic ‘Vedra’ on Knee Deep In Sound the future was clear.
