Early years
Johan started DJing at the age of 17 in his home country of Belgium, and during the latest 15 years has built up an international fame spinning as a DJ in Japan, Australia, Germany, Spain, Netherlands, Belgium, England, Northern Ireland, Israel,[4] North Cyprus and now also as resident DJ at Club Gorgeous in Copenhagen, Denmark.
Besides DJing, Johan is a trance
After nearly two years of warming up the Saturday night party people by broadcasting his weekly radio show "Lift Off" on ID&T, he decided to leave the station in favor of Fresh FM where he hosts a weekly show called "In Session" every Saturday from 21:00 to 23:00 CET.
In 2005 Gielen was rated along with dozens of other internationally known DJs. At that time Gielen was placed at number 57 (in the world).[5]
