Songpot · Amsterdam Dance Event 2026

Fast, punchy house built for big-room momentum, with electro drums, garage swing, and dancehall/ragga cut-ups. His Dirty House sets lean on bootlegs, edits, and crossover club records rather than long blends.

More about Vato Gonzalez

Björn Franken, the man behind Vato Gonzalez, built Dirty House as a label, event brand, and mixtape series in the Dutch house scene. Discogs credits him with shaping that Dirty House lane out of the late-2000s electro/Latin-house wave, and his own releases and mixtapes pulled in names like Afrojack, Hardwell, Laidback Luke, Gregor Salto, Yellow Claw, and The Partysquad.
