• Started DJing as a teen under his real name, Jos Klaster — first residency at Chez Jean in Steenwijk. Born on March 24, 1966, in Meppel, Jos Klaster’s passion for music ignited during his early years. He made his debut at school dances, then quickly rose through local clubs like Locomotion and Lord Nelson, while also hosting radio shows for SLOS.

• Rebranded as DJ José after a mixing competition — marking his breakthrough in the Dutch club scene. At 24, while spinning at Music Hall X-Ray in Zwolle, a manager entered him into Dance Update. That moment led to the birth of the name DJ José — a turning point in his career.

• Played major festivals like Mysteryland, Dance Valley, and Trance Energy — with residencies across Europe. By 2001, demand for his DJ sets led him to leave his label job and go full-time. He’s since performed in Turkey, Albania, Greece, Israel, Spain, Norway, Poland, Russia, and the Dutch Antilles.

• Released hits like “Wrong Right,” “House of Justice,” and “Stepping to the Beat” — many with G-Spott. His singles charted across Europe, including England, Austria, Germany, France, Spain, and Portugal. Collaborations with G-Spott and John Marks helped shape his signature sound.

• Produced over 30 compilation CDs — and remains one of the most booked DJs in the Netherlands. His adaptability and crowd connection have made him a favorite across generations, from intimate venues to massive festivals.
