Under the pseudonym “The Artist Also Known As”, he broke out into the scene with “Eating Donuts”, a remix of “Song 2” by Blur. In 2006, he initiated his very first label Dirty Workz, which released Jump and Hardstyle music – but since 2015 has taken a more background role in the operation of the label, which is now primarily based around Hardstyle.

Without a doubt, Coone lives and breathes Hardstyle. His passion is shared by thousands of like-minded souls all over the world, each speaking a universal language. Music. A binding force uniting us all. As the hard dance headliner for Ultra Australia, Coone is predicted to bring his high octant set to Melbourne and draw a big crowd.

He’s worked with some of the biggest names on his music, like Calvin Harris, another DJ, and hit big hits like ‘Under Control’.
