Gert van Veen began his musical career in the late 70’s. He played guitar, bass and keyboards in bands with musicians who later became famous with Urban Dance Squad and Spinvis. Van Veen himself chose a more experimental electronic direction and found the ideal musical platform in the Amsterdam house explosion of 1988. After several successful releases in collaboration with DJ Eddy de Clercq, including the very first Amsterdam house record 'Pay the piper' and the club classic 'Dish n tell' (House Of Venus), he started the (Detroit-)techno project QUAZAR in the summer of 1990, with wing man co-producer Eric Cycle. 
A year later, the first Quazar album ' The Seven Stars' was released, after which the group - expanded with dancers - embarked on an extensive Dutch live tour.
In 1993 van Veen started Welcome to the Future, a series of parties at Paradiso in Amsterdam, for which he invited befriended techno and house acts. The first editions included Speedy J, Orlando Voorn (1993) and the still barely known Underworld (1994), which Welcome to the Future later named as the moment the group broke through in the Netherlands.
After nine years of partying in Paradiso, Welcome to the Future moved to the new Amsterdam club Studio 80 in 2005, which van Veen as creative director (2008-2013) helped gain international fame. In 2013 the intimate Studio 80 scored an impressive 35th place in the DJ Mag Top 100 of international clubs. 
From 2007, Welcome to the Future also became an open-air festival, in nature reserve the Twiske. 15 successful editions were held between 2007 and 2022.
The final Welcome to the Future ('The last dance') attracted 25-thousand visitors in 2022.
In addition to being a producer, live act and party organizer, Gert van Veen is also an author. He graduated in musicology, was music editor at the Volkskrant for 15 years and wrote several books about music and the music world.
In 2018 van Veen received the Amsterdam Dance Event Lifetime Achievement Award, in 2022 a gold medal from the city of Amsterdam, the Andreas penning, as an ambassador of Amsterdam night culture.

art:cast °69 | Life of Marvin

Marvin & Guy and Life and Death label head Dj Tennis, individually have grown into household names within the electronic music underground, and even closer to the foreground, gracing dancefloors all over the world with distinctively unique and energetic sets whether in huge venues or intimate clubs. Coming a long way from a small town in Northern Italy, Marcello, Alessandro and Manfredi have been spotted at the helm of many celebrated parties, from ADE to Sonar, Burning Man to gigs in Panorama Bar. As producers, the effect of their sophisticated ear for music shaped by diverse genres across generations, coupled with the gift of expressing passion through sound, resound tenfold through acclaimed and widely played productions for various prominent labels - Permanent Vacation, Life and Death, Running Back, Kompakt, K7, Desolat just to name a few. But joining forces reveal an even deeper layer worth seeing. Though their friendship has not remained unseen, not limited to their epic B2Bs and more notably, the creation of Life of Marvin label a few years back, just how close and alike are the three we are yet to find out. Shortly before the release of their first EP as Life of Marvin, Marvin & Guy and DJ Tennis take moments away from their very busy schedules to talk to Torture the Artist about the past, present and future of their joint venture, what they left out along with Death & Guy and needed to channel through this special project, and inevitably, the friendship and shared inspirations at its core.

Zombies in Miami at Casa Jaguar Jungle Party

A few weeks ago, not long after we all went into lockdown, I decided to put together a mix, but I wanted it to be a little different from all of the mixes that were frequently popping up on social media. With that in mind I involved you in the process and asked for your suggestions of some of your favourite tracks from the past until now which I would include in the mix.

I was overwhelmed by the shear numbers of suggestions you put forward -  far too many to include all in one mix. However, I spent lot of time and love on the final mix, trying to create a special journey instead of just listing tracks that really stood out to me.

Digging through many old records like this, putting the mix together became quite emotional for me and it reminded me why I fell in love with electronic music in the first place.  It brought back many fond memories too. 
I really hope you enjoy listening to the results as much I did and I hope it stirs some memories, whether it be chills, smiles, tears or laughs for you all too.

Torture the Artist - your source for contemporary electronic music

Torture the Artist is a webzine, or a magazine made for the internet, geared towards those with a passion for contemporary electronic music, with subgenres including Techno, Tech House, Deep House and Eletronica, as well as a small amount of Indie and Alternative. Founded in 2014 by Holger Breuer, a German native and lover of the arts, Torture the Artist now consists of five team members from all around the world.

In addition to publishing interviews, music reviews, DJ charts and track premieres, the webzine hosts out a  podcast series called 'art:casts'. This medium gives DJs and producers the artistic freedom to highlight their different musical styles while not being restricted by factors such as setting, and connecting them to a wider audience. 

Being in its ninth year, Torture the Artist has gained a strong and active online support group, including music enthusiasts to label managers and artists themselves, creating a cohesive community with music as their bond.
