DJ Dinana

Yassin Dinana
“Purveyor of deep, infectious dance grooves and a feel-good atmosphere.”

That’s how Dinana describes himself as a DJ. Never afraid to go too deep, his emotive musical selections are his own therapy. Having grown up on his father’s eclectic combination of deep house and electronic music, which became infused with his own love for both deep house and electronic music, Dinana ended up with quite a mixed spectrum of musical influence. Today, this translates into sets where he picks apart and infuses together all the pieces of this music that he loves best: beautiful synth work, ethereal backdrops, brooding basslines, and occasional vocal hooks… all on top of a pronounced foot-shuffling house beat.

A very active member of his local community, Dinana is no stranger to the ups-and-downs of a small-town music scene. Though he loves playing in nightclubs, patios and special events, his love for music goes beyond the spectrum of mixing tunes. As a producer, pianist, and DJ, he has found plenty of ways to express himself musically. He also likes to write about the subject on his blog, www.djdinana.com – a website dedicated to helping himself and others become better DJs through passion and purpose.

“For me, it’s all about mood and a deep, hypnotic groove… playing those tracks that get you tapping your feet and nodding your head without you realizing it, regardless of genre, tempo, style, or release date. “
