Youri Parker
Youri Parker is one of the legendary residents of Cherry Moon in Lokeren. Influenced by the rave and house sounds of the early nineties, he started DJing and soon became a resident at Cherry Moon, where he played every weekend for more than a decade. That makes him one of the longest-serving residents in the club’s history, and he shared the decks with the biggest names in the scene, including Carl Cox, Sven Väth, Jeff Mills, Dave Clarke and Green Velvet.
He has left his mark as a producer too. The Cherry Moon Trax hit ‘Acid Dream’ is his work, and today he forms Cherry Moon Trax together with DJ Ghost. His track ‘Lost Energy’ with Danny C was picked up by Carl Cox and stayed in his playlist for more than a year. ‘Bang’, made with Fred Baker, was played by Judge Jules on BBC Radio 1, and his remix for Fred Baker’s ‘Ibiza Project’ was released on Black Hole Recordings, Tiësto’s label.
Youri Parker has played the biggest events and best-known clubs in Belgium, Mayday in Germany and as far away as Ukraine. He has also played Tomorrowland, on the day dedicated entirely to Cherry Moon, and every year Cherry Moon celebrates its birthday with its own ‘Winter Retro’ edition. A Youri set is more than a string of hits: “It’s nice to tell a story and play with the crowd, not just play the hit records.” Want to book Youri Parker for a retro set at your party, festival or event?
