This is Special D.
The anthems you grew up with. The energy of today.
Dennis Horstmann has been behind the decks since 1998 and in the charts since 2003. His songs soundtracked a generation – today he brings them back to Europe’s biggest stages. Not as a nostalgia act, but with fresh productions, modern collabs and a show where nobody stands still.
