CARLOS VALDES

For over two decades, Carlos Valdes has been a key figure in Amsterdam’s nightlife and a driving force within its electronic music and LGBTQIA+ club culture. As a DJ, promoter and co-founder of the influential IsBurning nights, he helped shape a global platform known for inclusive dancefloors and uncompromising house and techno.

With an enormous vinyl collection and decades of digging behind him, Carlos crafts spellbinding narratives on the dancefloor, weaving together dance music’s finest cuts and keeping dancers on their tippy toes throughout the night — and into the early morning.
