Baggi Begovic

Ajdin Begovic, also known as Dj Baggi Begovic and one of the most dedicated Dutch artists. His passion for music converts his style into a hot banging house set, along with his producer skills Baggi is a well respected and truly devoted performer. As he is always ready to pump up the heat at any club with his spinning mixes, his presence keeps the dance floor filled easily. Make sure youre prepared for him to conquer your world!

Baggi was born in Brcko in Bosnia, in 1979. When he moved to the Netherlands in 1995, he was asked to be one of the residents of the party boat Barocca in Rotterdam. Mixing tribal with groovy uplifting housebeats, he made sure to give the audience pure pleasure.

Inspired by surrounding artist, such as Erick E, Miss Monica and Deep Dish, he got hooked on to the art of Dj-ing. As soon as Barocca had been referred to a new address (Club Revolution, Rotterdam), Baggi Begovic was delighted for being able to present his explosive mixes in a 6hr set every Friday, Saturday and several Sunday nights.

In 2002, Baggi worked at a local record store; Midtown Records in Rotterdam. Working here, Baggi soon met several club owners and event organisations. This has definitely led to an increase of his booking amount as well as his reputation.

At Club Revolution Baggi met Peter Gelderblom, they decided to start the record company Rhythm Import in Rotterdam. Together they put in all their effort, time and devotion until Baggis booking amount started to rise.

Next to being the former resident of Club Revolution, he was invited by tons of Dutch clubs and events; such as Sensation, Afterlounge, Ministry of Sound and Impuls Indoor & Outdoor. Clubs like Now & Wow, Thalia Lounge, Club Players, Powerzone, Escape and many more, gave Baggi the opportunity to present his characterized set. Successfully!

The mixes from Baggi are well described as being very surprising. His groovy, funky club sound are combined with pure tribal drums, lovely vocals and a small banging progressive techhouse sound. No wonder the crowd goes wild!

Baggi Begovics wonderful set is also played on the Dutch BNN radio show, called LOS (Lucien Foort) and on the Belgium Hed Kandi radio show from Tom de Neef.

His first production for the Work Label, (a remix of Deep Congress Yardmen, mixed up by Baggi Begovic & Bryan Dalton) was released at the end of 2005. His new tracks will be released very soon, and they have already been credited by Roger Sanchez, Tom de Neef, Deep Dish and Lucien Foort! More productions followed, 'Safe' on Fame Records and 'So Into U' on R&G Electronics - the label of Roog & Greg (a.k.a. Hardsoul). Future stuff coming out on Sneakerz Muzik and Flamingo Recordings (a track he did with Funkerman). Furthermore, lots of remixes for David Penn & Peter Gelderblom, Sandy Rivera, Niel'C, Ryan Murgatroyd, Ron Carroll, Tom de Neef, Hardsoul,Noir etc.

Baggi Begovic; a true talent in mixing joy with music, being brought to you by passion and musical devotion. Make sure to notice him, let him take you to seventh heaven and be prepared to hear a lot more about him
