Dean Coleman brings 10 years of experience to the decks and a flare for on-the-fly remixes which have landed him at some of the hottest spots around the world from Tunisia and Amsterdam from Budapest to New York City. In 2007 he lit up the room to a packed house twice at Crobar in NYC and rocked his yearly appearance at the Winter Music Conference in Miami playing for Deep Dish at their annual Yoshitoshi @ Space Party. Dean is notorious for making an impact on his audience by playing custom edits and unreleased remixes of his favorite cuts while using cutting edge effects and technology to enhance each performance.

Dean began by stricking gold in 2002 with a bootleg of Narcotic Thrusts - Safe From Harm, which was later signed by Deep Dish to their Yoshitoshi imprint. Since 2004, Dean Coleman has been on four Yoshitoshi releases and there are more to come. Dean has already created a discography that many in the industry have taken a lifetime to produce. He produced/remixed for Deep Dish, Erick Morillo, Harry Choo-Choo Romero, Roger Sanchez, Hernan Cattaneo, Josh Wink, Eddie Amador, Julie McKnight, Felix Da Housecat and even Justin Timberlake

Dean has toured the world to hot spots including Brazil, Lebanon, Romania, Russia, Cypress, Portugal, Washington D.C., Montreal and many more. Whether combining ever-futuristic technology, or just rocking the mixer, Dean’s DJ sets are not to be missed. "I always feel at home behind the tables whatever city I'm in. When I DJ I want people to feel like they are a part of what I'm doing and not that I'm there to play to them. I completely vibe off my crowd and the closer I am to them the better!" says Dean. Also in 2005 Dean took on a different side to the music industry by composing his first film score for Angeles Woo daughter of John Woo entitled "Glass Beads" which was shown at the Venice Film Festival.
