Balthazar & Jackrock

Balthazar & JackRock’s story began in the heart of Bulgaria’s capital, Sofia. From DJing around the globe to running a 1500 people capacity venue and promoting their own festivals, Balthazar & JackRock have been deeply involved in electronic music scene for the past 22 years.

Back in 1999 Balthazar & JackRock started Renesanz – an agency for dance events. Since then their parties have grown immensely in popularity and have become a trademark for Bulgarian’s electronic music culture. Up till now, Renesanz has organised events with over 250 international artists. In 2010, Renesanz has also grown as an independent record label.

In January 2006 Balthazar & JackRock released their debut vinyl record Rockin’ Dancefloor on TechHead Recordings. The single reached number 1 in many sales charts and was played by many international DJs. A few weeks later Balthazar & JackRock released the top-selling record Moonshine on the Belgian label Magura, which was co-produced with their friend Kobbe. Moonshine was included in the official Dance Valley 2006 CD compilation and was presented in Judge Jules’ BBC 1 radio show.
