Biography

Producer, remixer, DJ, party organizer and label owner, Tim Andresen has his fingers in many pies and his list of accolades is longer than your arm.

He is the founder of the highly acclaimed What Happens label and it’s now home to some of the finest talents in underground house music and a whole string of his own productions and remixes.

One to follow his dreams through equal parts of talent and hard work, Tim is an artist who enjoys the writing, production, engineering and arrangement of his own records. He recently boosted his production portfolio with signings to Savoir Faire Musique, Soulman Music, UM Records, Natural Rhythm, Seamless, Starlight Unlimited, Elevation Recordings and DeepWit. It seems a long time since he released on the UK’s longest running house label Azuli but also on Toolroom as one of the “Leaders of the new school” and Southern Fried as half part of Professional Losers being dubbed “the next big Danish housers” by IDJ.

For the last decade he has not only seen his name appear regularly in the charts but also had support from the who’s who of house music including underground luminaries like Steve Lawler, Maya Jane Coles, Dubfire, Nic Fanciulli, Laurent Garnier, Nick Warren and Hernan Cattaneo through to other long term legends like Pete Tong, Erick Morillo, Roger Sanchez and dancemusic’s biggest superstar Fatboy Slim whom he was also personally asked to remix (#1 UK Buzz Chart). Add to that he did compilation CDs while records sales were still something to talk about. He debuted with a CD showcasing the sound of his first major club project Flow. Then Ministry of Sound asked him to mix and compile volume 1 of Ministry Sessions. They described him “Denmark’s busiest house DJ” and that later led on to playing the international MoS tour.

These days see DJs come and go but Tim remains at the very frontline of the Scandinavian club scene.

Throughout his DJ career he has never stopped playing his trademark sound and never sold his soul to the latest trend in a desperate and disrespectful hunt for quick fame. As one of just a few DJs out of Denmark with truly international reach, he has taken his music to 35 different countries and far-flung destinations like Buenos Aires and Shanghai, as well as playing some of the finest clubs on the planet including the legendary terrace at Space Ibiza, Pacha Ibiza, the world’s biggest club Privelegé, Ministry Of Sound and Fabric that labeled him “Denmark’s finest export”. At home ground he is the main resident at the famous Culture Box, one of the most sought after positions for DJs in all of Denmark.

Month in month out, he plays next to the coolest and most profilic DJs on earth, helping to secure the club it’s unique position with worldwide recognition and 5 awards for Best Danish Club. He was also responsible for bringing Maya Jane Coles, Nic Fanciulli, Nick Curly, Shonky, Nick Warren, Joris Voorn and many more to the Danish capital. Before that he took care of his monthly Oven Ready night at Vega nightclub, rated one of the best club nights ever to take place in Copenhagen and described “one of the best Friday nights in the world” by Mark Knight. His long-spanning career include an endless list of other residencies and awards won for “Best DJ” at Club Awards and “Most Popular Nordic DJ” by Megamind. To sum it up, very few DJs can claim to have had a greater impact on their local club history than him.

Never one to rest on the laurels, Tim will continue to spread his sound far and wide. Wearing his many hats, he keeps pushing the scene forward.
