I played this set at the start of a very intimate birthday party. I was explicitly told not to play any disco, soulful house, or techno music, to keep it a bit organic, and to play some world music.

My set during Kingsday 2024 at Pllek Amsterdam. Unfortunately, the recording is a bit distorted, but the energy of the mix hopefully tells you what a great night this was! 

KINGSDAY 2024

Presenting a rare find: a 1990 recording showcasing Derrick May's set at the legendary RoXY Club. Recently rescued and digitized from the depths of my cassette tape collection, this relic was recorded from Radio 100, a beloved pirate radio station in Amsterdam. Despite the less-than-ideal sound quality, every crackle and hiss adds to the charm of this vintage vinyl mix. It offers a glimpse of a bygone era.

I recorded a small section of the evening, but for some reason, my recording stopped. But you can get an idea of my selection of easy-listening tracks.

This is a live recording of a laid-back trip-hop mix I made yesterday for TANK interior design agency. It was used as background music during an event for a newly renovated building called the VENUE in Amsterdam. The mix includes three brief cuts where playback was paused due to people speaking. Enjoy!

This is a live recording from the Koma 'Bermuda Boogie" party. Unfortunately, the sound quality of the recording is not the best, and on top of that, at least three of my MC friends were talking throughout my entire set. However, the party was great, and I'm still buzzing from the vibe of yesterday. Loved every minute of it!

Zender:
Leading a double life as a DJ and freelance graphic artist, Zender spends most of his time behind computer monitors listening to music. This has resulted in an extensive taste for music that ranges from exotic disco to soul-drenched house music, laidback hip-hop to world music, organic house to uplifting techno, and everything in between. Zender has been collecting records from a very early age. Key to his DJ sets is feel-good music. He aims to play music that lifts the mood and leaves a happy crowd behind.

Zender has organized various events and festivals in the past (Costa del Soul Festival, Nachtspelen, Koma), but lately, he has been very busy with his illustration and design work.

Stay tuned.
