Biography Ummet Ozcan
Easily one of the most talented and hard working producing Dj’s from The Lowlands. Ummet Ozcan was born in 1982 in the centre of Holland. At the age of 14, inspired by both Eastern and Western cultures (his parents are from Turkey), he starts to experiment with making music in his little home studio.

In 2001, Ummet released the import-only ‘Pump this Party‘ after a collaboration with The Sunclub (Fiësta, Summerjam 2003), a single that despite its limited release, earned Ummet first credits in global dance music.
Here Ummet’s DJ career begins with playing house music and techno at local parties. Gaining a lot of respect playing his unreleased stuff he decides to professionalize his ambitions by putting more efforts in getting record deals .
