Jan Liefhebber:

Dj & Producer and label owner of Highland Beats & We Are Techno productions

Jan Liefhebber has been an important element of the Dutch techno scene since the early 90’s. 

In 1995 he set up the record label Highland Beats to provide a platform for the acid and techno that he played in his DJ sets. 

Highland Beats went on to become one of the most successful techno labels of the 90’s and it provided a spring board for many upcoming artists. One of the first of its kind in the Netherlands, Highland Beats has inspired many labels and artists over the years. 

Jan’s DJ career started off in the underground techno scene. Together with some friends he organised parties in crazy industrial locations like old abandoned farm houses, fields, tunnels and warehouses. 

Jan’s musical taste differed from what most people were playing and he soon made a name for himself due to his musical diversity and refreshingly different sets. 

The popularity of Highland Beats fuelled his success and his first international bookings soon followed. 

In 2003 Jan released his first co-production. This led to a storm of remix requests and he has since (co-)produced on many prolific labels. 

The main reason that Jan has remained a sought after DJ is that he doesn’t let any trend dictate what he plays while still evolving and progressing. 

After 40 releases on Highland Beats and several releases on sub labels HBLTD, Body: Art: Form and Klirfactor Jan decided to start up a new, fresh project to reflect the sound he is playing at the moment. 

2008 saw the launch of Eterno Records, a joint project with partner Jenny Rose. 

Jan Liefhebber has performed in Austria, Belgium, Brasil, Croatia, Turkey, France, the UK, USA, Ireland, Italy, Slovenia, Germany, Malta, Japan, Spain, Switzerland, Poland and Russia at some of the world’s most prolific events.

Indulge your senses and embark on a tantalizing sonic adventure with DepGlobe!

🌟 Booking through No Ego Events: Reach out to the musical virtuoso himself at hilbrand@nee.nu and prepare to be swept off your feet.

Imagine a young DepGlobe, just 8 years old, whose world revolved around the enchanting Dutch radio shows like "The Rock and Roll Method." In the blink of an eye, he became an ardent disciple of musical legends such as Gene Vincent, Elvis, and The Beatles. The year 1981 witnessed his first affair with vinyl ecstasy, a 12" single that none other than New Order's "Everything's Gone Green." But his musical journey was far from ordinary, for luminaries like Patrick Cowley and Giorgio Moroder had already begun weaving their enigmatic influence into his soul during the early '80s.

Fast forward to 1983, when a fire was ignited within DepGlobe, thanks to the trailblazing Ben Liebrand. He embarked on a thrilling odyssey, crafting his own magnetic mixes with a "cut and paste" finesse that ignited high school parties, and soon, the DJ decks at student gatherings. Between 1998 and 2003, he unveiled a symphonic tapestry across three different genres: ClubSession 1-7, GlobalTrance 1-6. But the evolution didn't stop there. Influenced by the likes of John Creamer, Stephane K, Lemon8, and Deep Dish, he birthed his Massive Progressive Series 1-6, generously sharing his sonic creations among his closest friends.

As the years unfurled, DepGlobe's musical persona crystallized into the breathtaking realm of Progressive. Yet, his favorite tracks remain a delightful enigma—progressive techno, pure progressive, techno, tech house, or deep house? Since 2011, DepGlobe's musical magic has graced the digital airwaves of SoundCloud. Following the release of his mesmerizing Lowlands Series, he inaugurated "DepGlobe's NoEgo Sounds" in November 2011. His charismatic presence resonates on the frequencies of United Radio, InsomaniaFM, Frisky Radio, and several other radio shows, not to mention electrifying gigs at pulsating Techno and Deep House soirées.

Today, he's the mastermind behind unforgettable parties and festivals, and as the visionary founding father of the epic Hartstocht Festival, his musical odyssey continues to set hearts and dance floors ablaze. Don't miss your chance to be part of this irresistible journey into sound with DepGlobe!

A true artist will always have something that makes them stand out from the crowd. In the case of Emmanuel its his wonderful ability to transfer his daily emotions and experiences, into the music that he creates.  Srilankans and Maldivians roots, born in Pireo (Greece) in 1987, Emmanuel, despite his young age, it's already a well travelled guy. After a short stay in Greece he moved alongside his family towards the grey and foggy north of Italy, Milan with precision. Here he spent most of his recent past. During his long trips music has never been missing by his experiences background. From his early passion for the etno-folk melodies of the countries in which his Dna sinks his roots, he soon moved to new sounds, quickly founding great interests in the electronic phenomena.

  Interests that were too often limited, interests that after a few weeks were already aiming to become something more, to become his own thing. That so, aged 16, Emmanuel approached the first softwares and started doing music. In so doing, in a short lap of time, he got in touch with several artists and started to establish his relationship with a few big names.
  
  It's winter 2007 when, thanks to his last demo (A Step From You/Parade EP), he got in touch with the israelian dj and producer Shlomi Aber. An enlightening encounter for both them, an encounter which soon led Aber to sign Emmanuel for his own Imprint, Be As One. And judging by the results of Emmanuel's first release it's not hard to be understood why Aber didn't lose any time in sign him and get him into the techno rumble.
 His debut release "Parade EP" got some really serious support from some of the biggest names in Techno and House. 

And with his second release "Indian Wallpaper", always on Be As One, Emmanuel strongly confirm his skill. With airplays feat by the likes of names like Sven Vath, Regis, Carl Cox, Marcel Dettman, John Digweed, Josh Wink, Ben Klock, and Adam Beyer to name a few, Emmanuel then moved to Berlin to dedicate his full time to the Label and the craft of his music. 

Today he runs ARTS one of the most prominent Institution in Techno and Electronic Music with regular Artists that today are representing the soul of the Underground Techno to bigger stages with regular Showcases around the Globe, there's no doubt if Emmanuel's name will be one of the most talked about names of the very next future.
