During the pandemic, it seemed like Passion Deez was hellbent on appearing on every single streaming and broadcasting platform in existence. The British-import-to-Amsterdam’s dedication clearly paid off as, since lockdown ended, he’s played unforgettable sets at the likes of De School, Lente Kabinet and Dekmantel Selectors, not to mention a debut Boiler Room slot to boot. Having spent a decade immersed in London’s pirate radio and dubstep scene, Passion injects some much welcomed bass into Dutch dance floors. From two-step and obscure garage to instrumental grime and junglist breaks, he dishes out dark grooves and percussive riddims. The Patta Soundsystem affiliate always turns up with a few nostalgic pop bangers up his sleeve too – think Rihanna blended into 140 gold.
