When you have been seconded as a resident DJ for Redbull UK and Adidas, the rest of the industry stands up and takes notice. Ethan Porte has been redefining the way the world sees him, and the evidence that he can work with some of the best in the game came to the fore when he joined Dopamine. Dopamine is a dance music collective born out of the clubs and responsible for one of the biggest hits during the pandemic. Friday originally by the Nightcrawlers and Riton was given a reboot by Mufasa, Hypeman and the Dopamine Crew, and the rest we all know is history.

With over 750 million streams on Spotify alone, it is clear that Ethan knows a thing or two about the music industry: receiving a nomination for a Brit Award in the process. Emerging out of Essex and London, his abilities have always resonated with artist everywhere. Remixing for acts such as Joel Corry, Mabel, Charli XCX, and Bad Boy Chiller Crew, Dopamine has certainly put him on the map in the most incredible of ways.

Neither is he a one-dimensional DJ who stays in his own lane. Behind the decks he leads the dancefloor through a multitude of genres, and promoters all around Europe are keen to book him. His success in the booth has seen him go on an 11-date national tour and be invited to play at the legendary Ibiza Rocks with Karen Harding, Lovely Laura and Ben Santiago. This is how he has come to the attention of Redbull and Adidas who are constantly in search of acts that can present their brand at the cutting edge of DJing and sound design.

With Ethan hosting parties and keeping crowds captivated through his fluid mix of addictive grooves and layered textures, the corporate big end of town value him as highly as the super clubs he plays at. Making every night memorable, he keeps pace with the dance floor and switches up the musical narrative whenever the moment is needed.

Boundless energy with talent to burn, he will not stay in the back-room production shadows as fame beckons. His quest to deliver music that will trigger the most joyful of emotions is only matched by his desire to draw crowds in to celebrate life with him. The door is always open for Ethan Porte and undoubtedly his journey is one we can all enjoy.
