Andre Leone has been a fixture in underground dance music since the rave days of ‘97, cutting his teeth in Chicago’s house music scene before bringing that energy back to Cleveland and beyond. With over 25 years behind the decks, Andre’s sets are a masterclass in groove—raw, chunky, funky, and melodic house and techno that honors the classics while staying rooted in the present moment. As one-fourth of the Cleveland collective Disfunktional, Andre has been instrumental in cultivating the city’s underground scene, creating spaces where the music takes center stage. He later brought that same vision to Hawaii as Disfunktional Hawaii, proving that authentic house culture transcends geography. Along the way, he’s shared stages with legends like Marshall Jefferson, Todd Terry, DJ Sneak, Demuir, Bonobo, and Terry Hunter—holding his own among the heavyweights who shaped the sound. For Andre, music isn’t just entertainment—it’s healing. He approaches the decks with a deep understanding of the cyclic exchange of energy between DJ and dancer, reading the room not just for tempo but for emotional resonance. His sets create space for release, connection, and transformation, rooted in the belief that the dance floor is sacred ground. Whether he’s layering Detroit’s raw edge with Chicago’s soulful pulse or letting a classic breathe at just the right moment, Andre’s selections feel intentional, intuitive, and unmistakably alive. Available for bookings, festivals, and residencies.
