Hightower @ Synesthesia

In the north of Holland, there's a small forest with an 18th-century building that feels straight out of a fairytale—but it’s all real and it's magical. The owners, eager to share their enchanted space with kindred spirits, decided to host a mini-festival for 200+ ravers, filled with good music and love.
We were honored to close on the last night of this second edition.... Words can't capture it. 
It was pure magic, we are so grateful ❤️

Love,
Hightower & Rene Engel

Hightower b2b Cosmic Goblin - Deep Set

The closing DJ-set of @rene_engel at the Onder De Bomen stage at De Weide Festival 2025. Turning the crowd in one euphoric dancing organism. 

Rene Engel / Onder De Bomen / De Weide 2025

The recording of my 45-minute set at De Weide Festival in Alkmaar. 
I wanted to take the crowd on a journey through the different styles, genres, and eras of Colombian music, showcasing only Colombian artists.

From nostalgic classics to fresh new discoveries, the set blends a few commercial tracks to get the crowd moving, but mainly highlights the hidden gems I grew up with—and the ones I’ve uncovered along the way.

I keep it a bit raw with some minor imperfections: natural side effects of the great time we had!

I truly loved the crowd’s energy—thank you for dancing with me!
Dank jullie wel! ¡Gracias!

Born and raised in Bogotá, Colombia, I’ve lived in New York, Antwerp, Medellín, and now call Amsterdam home.

I started learning how to mix in late 2024, inspired by my talented husband, DJ Hightower. While enjoying the diverse party and festival scene in Amsterdam, I noticed something was missing — the nostalgic sounds that shaped my identity as a Latina. I longed for the music from our childhoods, teen years, and early adult days — the tracks that made us dance, cry, sing, and remember who we are.

What started at private events and house parties has grown into a passion I now share on festival stages. If you love dancing, reminiscing, and hearing something a little unexpected — let’s get nostalgic together.

Although the Latin scene here is growing and full of talent, I wanted to bring something a little different: a blend of Spanish and English, crossing genres and generations — from pop and reggaetón, to Latin rock, tropical rhythms, and those underrated tracks that still hit deep. I love creating sets that either bring back memories or help people discover something they didn’t know they were missing.

It’s millennial nostalgia, alternative sounds, and a celebration of everything in between. Music that lasts longer than two minutes, and lyrics you actually want to sing. Because for us, music is a connection to our roots.

I also co-organize electronic music events with Lowfriends, and proudly support Hightower in his musical journey.
