Biography

Ruëll is focused on putting his extraordinary mark on the international music industry.

LOVING TO RELEASE THE HOUSE
Starting out as an event organizer in 2007, Ruëll still proudly presents his concepts "STOUT" and "Release the House" on a frequent base. While  he first made sure great talents rocked the DJ decks and the crowd enjoyed every minute of it, Ruëll never expected on how this would get another ball rolling. Inspired by the deejays he booked for his events in a night club in Groningen (Holland), Ruëll devoted all his spare time taking lessons and spend his money on professional gear. This same club happily gave him the opportunity to practice his skills during the day and soon enough he would be warming up the crowd with his sound. To this day he not only maintains a successful DJ residency in this club but also enjoys playing sets for some of the biggest events on a global scale.

SET & SOUNDS 
Recognized by his mature sound and loved for representing his passion behind the wheels, Ruëll is set to keep capturing his audience. With his big smile and limitless view on how to get any party started, he plays a various style of House music. From deep House beats to edgy Techno sounds and forging a perfect balance of all the progressive styles in between.
Besides taking club nights and festivals to a higher level, Ruëll also developed a real hunger to create music in the studio. From huge collaborations, with René Amesz, Lucien Foort, Deko-Ze and more to proudly releasing his own productions. In 2011 Ruëll releases "Sticky Fingers" with René Amesz on one of the biggest world-leading labels from the music industry Toolroom Records. The collaboration with René turns out to be a success and recently they released "Hope" on the Toolroom label, which got included on the Miami Compilation 2012 album.

With many more productions to be released within the following months this is definitely a DJ to watch. Ready to take over the international dance industry and giving you the best clubbing experience while doing so, Ruëll is determined to lose sight of the shore by discovering new oceans in a world of House.

Dennis van der Geest

The Netherlands has not only produced many world-class judokas (for example, Anton Geesink was the very first Westerner to beat the Japanese at their own judo game), but also the world’s foremost deejays. It seems that Dennis van der Geest is well on his way to achieving both accolades. Among a bagful of judo medals, he became world judo champion in the men's open division in 2005. Another feather in his cap was a bronze medal in the men's heavyweight division at the 2004 Olympic Games. 

Moreover, for many years, he has brought the same level of dedication – some would say fanaticism! – to the music table. Dennis van der Geest has long been an enthusiastically received guest DJ at a wide variety of dance parties. On top of that, he has been the star attraction at massively attended events organized by himself. 

DJ Dennis van der Geest’s repertoire can be best described as trendy and highly danceable groovy house with vocals and heavy b eat. He even makes forays into 1960s and 70s disco music, when he feels that the crowd is thus inclined. Truth be told, only the life-weary would dare to challenge the musical tastes of a heavy-weight judo world champion! In short, Dennis is always the life of the party, oozing power, passion, talent and joie de vivre. He released his first single, To the Sunshine, in mid-2008. This track is a collaborative effort with DJ- producer Ronald Molendijk. 

In recent years, the Dutch media have turned Dennis van der Geest into a household name. Blessed with the gift of the gab, the musical judoka has become a fixture on Dutch TV. In the coming period, Dennis will be working for various media outlets to shed more light on the Dutch dance scene as a whole and report on dance events featuring him as part of the DJ lineup.

Kollektiv Turmstrasse, one of the most successful German live acts in electronic music, is an influential presence in the global techno and house scene. With a compelling discography featuring releases on renowned labels like Kompakt, Diynamic, Cocoon, Fabric, and FFFR, his sound is deeply rooted in house music while also drawing inspiration from breakbeat, indie dance, techno, and even elements of hip-hop and modern pop. Turmstrasse is a complex, progressive and intriguing artist who focuses on the liberated space between driving house tracks and dancefloor anthems.

Riding in with the power to deliver sunshine to world’s rainiest open-air events, Monkey Safari brings rays of light to whatever dance floors they cast their shimmering spell on. 

The past few years saw the brothers swinging to new trees, retiring their previous labels to focus on their new label 'Hommage.' It were the years of transformation for the German producers, developing and tailoring a sound suited perfectly for the unique club nuances while still keeping the core elements of melodic chords and grooves synonymous with the duos productions. 

During this time, Monkey Safari unveiled their remix for Marc Houle’s “Pepper” on Richie Hawtin’s label Minus and their hugely successful “Cranes” and “Walls“ EPs that presented opportunities for Monkey Safari to work with some exciting musicians, such as Wolf + Lamb and Kölsch, techno heavy weights Guy Gerber and Josh Wink, as well as one of dance music’s most iconic producers, Moby. 

Monkey Safari remixed a track for Moby & The Void Pacific Choir, returning the favor after Moby’s successful rework of the duo’s track “Walls” last year. Their next releases continued in the same fashion, featuring remixes from Paco Osuna, Chloé, John Digweed & Nick Muir, UNER, Guy Mantzur, Victor Ruiz and more, while signing tracks from amazing Blond:ish, legendary John Tajada, and others on their Hommage imprint. 

The duo’s efforts in the studio have transcended to their DJ sets with stand out shows at Time Warp and Awakenings Festival. On top of a heavy touring schedule at world renowned clubs and headlining slots at festivals, the duo released their album ‘Odyssey’. Monkey Safari produced the same kind of tracks for this album they were playing as they toured nightclubs and festivals around the world, rather than simply a listening album. 

In 2018 Monkey Safari carefully handpicked remixers they saw as most capable of continuing their vision for the album. The ‘Odyssey Remixes’ featured reworks of the original album tracks by the master himself, Carl Cox, international stars Hernan Cattaneo, Guy J, Musumeci, Tensnake and Reboot, studio geniuses Dubspeeka, Hannes Bieger, ROD, and Phil Moffa, as well as up-and-coming talent Avidus and Trivmph . 

Monkey Safari’s third album comes in perfect time for the summer sunshine of 2019. The duo follow up their last album, ‘Odyssey’, with this warm, inviting collection of music designed to brighten your day and complement the glorious sunny days that bless us during the summer. Sven and Lars learned some valuable lessons from their last long-player, and the new album ‘HI’ comes from a far more relaxed, easy-going place. An organic project that came together quite naturally, their third album sees the duo in high spirits ready to bring a large dose of positive vibes and emotional depth to the party. 

2020 and 2021 sees Monkey Safari moving closer to legendary brands Get Physical and Anjuna Deep, starting with a remix and a multitude of EPs on the labels. Watch out for more news soon! 

The German outfit has been on an incredible run of form with promising developments in all of their endeavors and exciting news still to come. Be it a fresh remix or EP drop, DJ set or party, Monkey Safari will be sure to touch all scopes of dance culture with no signs of deceleration on the horizon. 
Their mandate remains the same, sending sunny vibes to make even the darkest dance floors smile.

"Odette describes herself as a “pretty nerd”, although she is really much more than that: a dedicated hard-worker who refuses to stop. The closest thing to her taking a break is when she lets loose one of her cutting-edge sets, that always allows you to feel her energy resonate through the crowd. 



She is now an established name in the game, with her very own label VDK. 

As she spins and makes her unique style of minimal, house and techno, you know that you are guaranteed a one of a kind journey. She surely knows how to pay tribute to the history of these genres, and has released tracks with Maestros including Archie Hamilton. 



Odette has become known throughout Holland as one of the go-to producers/DJ’s and now she is looking to take over the globe. 

This established cultural sensation is definitely worth the trip so don’t miss out and make sure you jump at the chance to hear her now!"
