Sidney Charles (born Sidney Charles Hurricane Vieljans) is a German DJ, producer, and label owner renowned for his dynamic contributions to the underground house and techno scenes. Originating from Hamburg and now based in Portugal, Charles has crafted a distinctive sound that blends the raw energy of classic house with modern production techniques.

Charles's music is characterized by heavy low-end grooves, chunky drums, and hard-hitting rhythms—a style often referred to as "The Sidney Sound." His early influences stem from hip-hop, soul, and funk, which he began DJing at the age of 15. This foundation in rhythm and groove laid the groundwork for his transition into house music, where he draws inspiration from the raw sounds of the early '90s.
