Songpot · Amsterdam Dance Event 2026
Derek Ryan
Tokyo-based trance DJ with emotional, melodic sets
Based in Tokyo, Japan · From California, USA · Plays most in San Francisco/Oakland, Tokyo
Soaring leads, long-build tension, and big emotional breakdowns sit at the center of his sets. Expect euphoric trance and progressive phrasing rather than hard-rave pressure.
