Upcoming DJ-talent Dante Klein has been caught off guard by the worldwide success of his single Let Me Hold You (Turn Me On)’; the track surpassed the limit of 150 million Spotify streams. During Amsterdam Dance Event it became clear that Dutch DJ’s still belong to the top of the world. However few established names in the EDM-scene reach such high numbers. . Let Me Hold You (Turn Me On)’ which Dante Klein produced with the American producer-trio Cheat Codes (known for their massive hit ‘Sex’ with Kris Kross Amsterdam) is only the third single of the relatively unknown DJ. The 21-year old Dutch DJ was surprised by the known YouTube-channel Ponkers during a meet & greet with fans at Amsterdam Dance Event.
Let Me Hold You (Turn Me On)’ is also available for streaming through other channels, including YouTube. By now the track has reached about 200 million streams if you combine all streaming platforms.
Dante Klein: ‘This is insane! I never expected that this track would become so huge! My biggest dream as a DJ is that as much people as possible all around the world can enjoy my music. Streaming services like Spotify & YouTube enable that a track can be heard almost everywhere. However, it’s hard to realize that ‘Let Me Hold You (Turn Me On)’ has been played from Mexico to Singapore. It’s amazing!’

21-year old Dutch Dante Klein instantly got a hit-record with his first release ‘Ertesuppe’. The track was picked up in Pete Tong’s radioshow for the BBC. After his first show at Tomorrowland in 2015 Dante Klein was asked to remix the number 1 Billboard dance track ‘Higher Place’ by Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike and Ne-Yo. Shortly after that a collab with Sam Feldt with Belgium singer Milow on the vocals called ‘Feels Like Home’ followed. Dante Kleins biggest hit was ‘Let Me Hold You (Turn Me On)’ (released by Spinnin’ Records, where he is signed) that already racked up 2 million streams before the official release last June. In the first week of the release the track was played 40 million times and by now the meter is at 150 million Spotify streams.
