Amsterdam DJ taking floors from progressive house to gabber chaos — one set, zero to peak.

Short

~60 words · event pages

IT'S RENÉ is an Amsterdam-based DJ who builds sets like a story: progressive house and melodic grooves in, hard techno and hardstyle out — and if the floor asks for it, all the way into gabber. Part of Twitch DJ collectives Team Brisk and Birdcage Radio, with 500+ hours streamed live and stages from ADE to tech-conference closing parties.

René started DJing at fifteen in his hometown of Sexbierum; the pandemic brought him back behind the decks, and it escalated from there. Streaming live as IT'S RENÉ, he logged 500+ hours on Twitch with peaks of 270+ concurrent viewers, becoming part of the Team Brisk and Birdcage Radio DJ collectives — the raid-train, birthday-marathon, back-to-back community that keeps live dance music running online every night of the week.

Offline he has played Amsterdam Dance Event stages, the GoTo Amsterdam conference closing party, office parties and underground living rooms. His signature is the build: a set that opens melodic and readable, climbs through party bangers into hard techno, and — crowd willing — ends in full gabber and frenchcore chaos. He reads the room, refuses song requests on principle, and has never failed to fill a dance floor. Based in Amsterdam; travels anywhere the music is wanted. Bookings: dj@itsrene.nl.
