DLMT announces retirement after 9 years and ‘nearly 100 songs’

DLMT signs off after nine years, leaving behind a legacy of beats and a mysterious promise for the future.

It’s the end of an era. DLMT, the house/deep house DJ and producer behind nearly a decade’s worth of dance floor bangers, has officially announced his retirement from the brand. The announcement came via Instagram on December 2, where he dropped a cryptic yet heartfelt post that left fans with just as many questions as emotions.

The post, captioned “DLMT – CIRCA 2015-2024. It’s been a wild ride, love you all, and I’ll see you very very soon in 2025,” was paired with a photo explaining his decision. “It feels weird to be writing this, but it’s been a long time coming. After 10 years under the DLMT brand my time has come to an end. Nearly 100 songs and remix’s later, it’s a bittersweet end. Thank you to everyone who has supported this project over the years, and played an integral part in what it became. This is NOT the end, but a new beginning… Stay tuned for 2025 and the most exciting news coming since I started making music.”

So, what does this all mean? If you’re like most fans, your mind probably jumped straight to “Wait, what’s happening in 2025?” DLMT confirmed that something big is on the horizon, but he kept all the juicy details under wraps. A new project? A total rebrand? Something we’ve never seen before? We don’t know, but the promise of a “new beginning” makes it sound like DLMT’s creative spark is far from fizzling out.

For fans who’ve been vibing with DLMT’s signature sound since 2015, this announcement hits hard. Over the years, he’s dropped heaters that landed on major playlists, headlined shows, and made festival sets unforgettable. Now, as he steps away from the DLMT as we’ve all come to know, it feels like a bittersweet goodbye – but also an exciting hello to whatever’s next.

The decision to close this chapter seems deeply intentional. DLMT has clearly been reflecting on what the brand has meant to him and his fans. Calling it a “new beginning” is more than just a vague teaser; it’s a reminder that change can fuel creativity.

Whatever he’s got planned for 2025, one thing’s for sure: DLMT isn’t fading into the background. He’s gearing up to shake things up in a way we’ve never seen before.
