Valen Gonzalez (AR)

Valen González is not just another DJ. At 24, this Argentinian producer and musician has already placed his name on the global progressive house radar. He started at 15, and ever since, he’s been shaping a sound that blends tight groove, melodic depth, and razor-sharp structure—heard in clubs, festivals, and radio shows around the world.

His releases have landed on respected labels like Mango Alley, Onedotsixtwo, Plattenbank, Magnitude, and Droid9. But it’s the support that speaks volumes: names like Hernán Cattáneo, Nick Warren, and Richie Hawtin have all played his tracks.

He’s shared the booth with artists like Patrice Bäumel, Henry Saiz, and Brigado Crew, yet his approach avoids formulas. Valen is forging his own path—with taste, intention, and hunger.

Parallel to this, he runs a vinyl-focused project under the alias Mizzen Sail, where he explores a more introspective, analog-driven sonic identity. He debuted at Amsterdam Dance Event in 2023, and returns in 2025 with confirmed showcases, expanding his presence across the European scene.

A rising artist who’s not trying to fit in—he’s here to stand out
