Van Horton: The Pulse of Community and Sound
Van Horton is a creator of rhythm, sculptor of sound, and seeker of connection. Raised in Sanford,NC, his musical journey began at four, performing in bands by eight. Influenced by The Beatles, Daft Punk, New Order, and The Chemical Brothers, he fuses eras into a kaleidoscope of synthwave, disco, and classic dance, blending retro textures with modern grooves.

Inspired by nature’s beauty, Horton channels the rustling trees and open skies of Moore County into music that echoes unity. His name, no alias but a legacy, reflects his authenticity etched into every beat.

A master of live performance, Van turns venues into vibrant celebrations. His DJ sets transform strangers into friends, where rhythm becomes a shared language. With his concept album Album 51, he crafts an analog-inspired, disco-infused soundscape—a heartfelt invitation to connect.
