IT'S
RENÉ
From Mainstream
to Underground
Started DJing at 15 in his hometown, COVID brought me back to the decks. Now I'm taking floors from progressive house to hardstyle—zero to absolute chaos.
LISTEN
🔥 LATEST: LOADS OF TECHNO
August 2025 • Pure hard techno energy • My most recent banger
When I say "loads of techno," I mean it. This set is relentless—hard kicks, driving basslines, and absolutely no mercy. Perfect for when you want the floor shaking.

CATCH ME LIVE
I stream regularly on Twitch as part of Team Brisk and Birdcage Radio. Expect anything from melodic house warm-ups to full-blown techno chaos. Peak viewer count hit 270+ across 500+ hours streamed. Come for the music, stay for the vibes.
🎧 WHAT TO EXPECT
- • Live DJ sets—no pre-recorded bullshit
- • Genre-bending journeys (progressive → hardstyle)
- • Collaborations with Team Brisk & Birdcage Radio crew
- • Chat interaction (when I'm not lost in the mix)
- • Occasional guest appearances and back-to-backs
📅 WHEN I STREAM
No fixed schedule because life as a platform engineer doesn't allow for that. But I try to stream weekly, usually evenings (CET).
Follow on Twitch to get notifications when I go live. Or just stalk my socials like a normal person.
IN ACTION
📍 Conference Closing Parties • ADE • GoToAms • Online Streams
THE SOUND
MY SIGNATURE
I build energy like a story. We start with progressive grooves, melodic house, deep vibes—ease into it. Then the tempo climbs. Party bangers. Harder techno. Hardstyle. And if the crowd's with me? Full-blown gabber and frenchcore chaos. My signature is the journey from zero to peak destruction. I read the room, anticipate what's next, and take people somewhere they didn't expect.
GENRE RANGE
- ✦ Progressive House — Where we start
- ✦ Melodic Techno — Building atmosphere
- ✦ Hard Techno — My default zone
- ✦ Party Bangers — The old school crowd pleasers
- ✦ Hardstyle — When it gets wild
- ✦ Gabber / Frenchcore — Maximum chaos
- ✦ Open Format — Anything goes
MY APPROACH
I'm not here to play the same 128 BPM house loop for 2 hours. Give me freedom, and I'll take you on a journey. I'm highly versatile—I can adapt to any vibe, any crowd, any setting.
But fair warning: I don't take song requests well. I don't have every track ever made, and no, I can't play it from your phone. Trust the process.
"I've never failed in getting people dancing."
— That's not ego. That's experience. From a local venue in Sexbierum to ADE stages in Amsterdam, from intimate house parties to 300+ viewer Twitch streams. I know how to build a vibe, read a room, and deliver exactly what the moment needs. Sometimes that's melodic grooves. Sometimes that's relentless techno. Sometimes it's absolute chaos. But it always works.
BOOK ME
Available for clubs, festivals, private parties, office events, conference after-parties, underground raves, and basically anywhere people want good music and high energy. I've played everything from intimate house parties to ADE events to closing sets at tech conferences (yes, developers party hard).
🎛️ GEAR
I bring my own Traktor controller, or I can work with your CDJ/mixer setup. Always have a USB stick on me for impromptu sets. Professional, reliable, no drama.
📍 LOCATION
Based in Amsterdam, but happy to travel anywhere in the Netherlands or beyond. Train, car, plane—I'll get there. Let's make it happen.
🎵 SET LENGTH
Flexible with set length—1 hour warm-up, 2-3 hour peak time, all-night marathon. Tell me the vibe, tell me the time slot, and I'll deliver.

Note: I'm not great with song requests—I don't have every track.
And no, I can't play it from your phone. 😉
