Having risen to fame with chart successes such as ‘Let the Bass Kick’ and
‘Aftershock,’ Chuckie’s career has continued to trace an exponentially upward
trajectory that has escalated him into a world-renowned figurehead and
tastemaker. As a pioneer of the rapidly proliferating Dirty Dutch sound, which
has burst on to the international stage with its fusion of big grooves and
livewire synths, he has taken his diverse musical palette worldwide and
continues to spread the Chuckie flavour with his explosive beats, impeccable
mixing and inimitable charisma.
Born in South America, Chuckie (real name Clyde Sergio Narain) later moved to
The Netherlands where his passion for hip-hop and electronic music grew and
eventually manifested itself in his decision to become a DJ and producer. His
energetic mixing skills coupled with an ability to effortlessly blend different
musical styles has made Chuckie one of the most in- demand DJs in the world.
After winning 2 MOBO awards, Chuckie has proven to be a prolific hit maker in
the studio too with a burgeoning back catalogue of highly successful singles and
remixes ever since. Since his 2009 hit ‘Let The Bass Kick’ reached no.9 in the UK
singles chart; Chuckie has had a continuous run of success with ‘Aftershock’
and ‘Move it 2 The Drum’ to hits ‘Breaking Up’ ft Promise Land, ‘What
Happened in Vegas’ and ‘Who Is Ready 2 Jump’. 201 3 has continued this trend
with singles like ‘Makes Some Noise’ with Junxterjack, ‘Rocktronica’ alongside
Betatraxx & Slash and ‘Down To This’ with Dzeko & Torres further cementing
his status as one of dance music’s undisputed titans.
A heavily in demand remixer, Chuckie has reworked the likes of David Guetta,
Bob Sinclair, The Saturdays, and Eric Morillo before adding official remixes for
P Diddy’s Dirty Diddy Money and Michael Jackson to his resume. Indeed
Chuckie was the only person asked to do the official remix for the King of Pop’s
‘Hollywood Tonight’ in March 2011, a dream come true for the charismatic
Dutchman. Since Chuckie’s multi album artist deal with US label Atlantic
Records,
He has worked alongside megastars such as of TPain, Tinie Tempah, Kesha,
Alexis Jordan, P Diddy, 50 Cent, Lil Jon, and Akon to name a few, with his latest
single ‘Making Papers’ adding hip hop heavyweight Lupe Fiasco to that list.
His own multi-faceted ‘Dirty Dutch’ concept has evolved over the years from a
6,000 people party into a stadium-filling event attracting international audiences
of up to 30,000, a revered record label and a far-reaching musical brand that is
home to a number of dance music’s most exciting talents. Reaching a dizzy
height, 201 2 saw ‘Dirty Dutch’ take over the Ziggo Dome for the biggest event
at the Amsterdam Dance Event. Chuckie’s legendary night, tagged ‘Dirty Dutch
Exodus’ is the first ever to showcase electronic dance music in the Ziggo Dome,
which was opened by Madonna and been host to A list acts such as Nicki Minaj
and Radiohead. This was quickly followed by another landmark takeover, this
time of the world-famous Brixton Academy in London.
These events are just part of a touring schedule that is as relentless as it is
impressive. Playing headline sets at the world’s premier clubs, from Amnesia
and Pacha to LIV and Marquee, Chuckie regularly touches down in a different
country each day, skipping across the continents to enthral fans at the most
famous events in the world. In addition to residencies across Europe and the US
Chuckie also brings chaos to the White Isle each summer as the world’s
electronic music fans flock to the clubbing capital of the world, Ibiza. Having
been busy touring throughout the first half of 2013 - including a show stopping
main stage performance at UMF Miami alongside Guns N Roses guitarist Slash
and Betatraxx - the summer promises to be his busiest yet. Having recently
launched this year’s Dirty Dutch residency on Mondays at Pacha, which is
spread across eight dates throughout the summer, Chuckie will play a slew of
festival dates from the first EDC London to Tomorrowland and the first ever
Electric Festival in Aruba in September.
2011 also saw him joining the BBC Radio 1 team to present his ‘In New DJs We
Trust’ show. This aired every month, allowing Chuckie to spin to a huge worldwide
audience and show off his undoubted talent behind the decks and this
lead to him receiving the coveted TMF “Best Dance DJ” award where he beat off
competition from the likes of Dutch heavyweights Tiesto and Armin Van
Buuren. 2013 has seen him add his own radio show to his ever-expanding
portfolio too with the launch of ‘Dirty Dutch Radio’, which has proved an
instant international hit.
Together with Amsterdam Dance Event (ADE) Chuckie’s Dirty Dutch organized
in September 2013 the first edition of the Electric Festival on Aruba. For three
days the Island turned into the hottest dancespot of the Caribbean. In 2014 the
next edition will be for five days and the program will be bigger in cooperation
with ADE. Another highlight in 2013 took also place on Aruba: Chuckie was
asked to play in front of the Dutch King Willem-Alexander and Queen Máxima.
Furthermore he founded the Play Foundation. Play Foundation has the primary
purpose of bringing the youth closer to their love of music and giving back to the
Aruban community. “Music has changed my life and made me the person I am today
and my humble wish is to share this with the youth”.
In August 2013 Chuckie was decorated as honorary commander of Surinam.
Next to that he is also a honorary citizen of Aruba.
At the end of 2013 he released Skydive featuring Maiday. New highlights
continued to come thick and fast as Chuckie and the Dirty Dutch family remain
steadfastly in the ascendant.
