SUMMARY:Menno De Jong
DESCRIPTION:Ora presents Menno De Jong: Farewell Tour (4 hour extended set)\nMenno de Jong is primarily known as a Trance DJ and producer with an international following. Based in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, de Jong was born on March 17, 1984 and was interested in music — classical as well as modern — at a young age. Being classically trained on the piano and incredibly passionate about music led to him taking up DJing and producing in his early teenage years. he first established himself as a producer with the release of ‘Guanxi’ on the British label Anjunabeatsin 2004. In the years that followed he took the Trance scene by storm with singles suchas ‘Tundra’, ‘Last Light Tonight’, ‘Spirit’, ‘Turtle Paradise’, ‘Never Lose The Magic’, ‘Place In The Sun’ featuring the vocals of Ellie Lawson and many more. This resulted in him being championed by the genre’s leading DJs including Tiësto, Armin van Buuren and Paul van Dyk. Numerous remixes for tracks such as ‘Mark Otten ­ So Serene’, ‘Karen Overton ­ Your Loving Arms’, ‘John O’Callaghan ft. Ria ­ I’ll Follow’ and the classic ‘Hydra ­Affinity’ also proved popular within the Trance community. He went on to perform at major clubs and festivals worldwide, including Tomorrowland, Dreamstate, A State Of Trance, Amnesia Ibiza and Amsterdam Dance Event and over the years developed an unwitnessed agility in performing, equally talented in delivering prime time sets as well as marathons lasting as long as 10 hours.\nMy dear fan or friend, With humble gratitude and respect I’m hereby announcing that on May 21st 2022 I will be performing the last set of my DJ career at Menno Solo – The Finale. The past 20 years have brought countless memorable moments, allowed me to see many of the world’s most beautiful places, and brought amazing people in to my life..\nBut throughout that era I have grown older and changed significantly as a person, developing a pressing sense of urgency to make decisions about how I spend the remaining time in my life. Whereas the thought of touring as a DJ was initially infinitely enticing, over time it has become clear to me that it is also an enormously taxing lifestyle that leaves limited room for personal growth, health and time with family and friends. Moreover, I’m finding it increasingly hard to consolidate my environmental and animal rights beliefs with a profession that involves constantly jetting from one part of the world to another. These topics are something that have always been very close to my heart.\nUp until my last show I will be doing my very best to visit all the places I have performed at in the past one last time, so that we can have a proper goodbye, celebrate with the amazing music of the past two decades, and so that I can personally thank you for all your support – I couldn’t have done it without you and it’s been such a great ride. Hoping for your understanding, with much love, -Menno\nWith:\nGotek\n21+\n9pm-2am\n Purchase tickets\n Facebook event page\n  Return to main calendar\n
