SOMERTIJD WEEKEND DANCE MIX 2!

This mix was dropped as a second submission for the Somertijd Weekend Dancemix on 100%NL.

The concept has already been heard on major stations like Radio 10 and Radio Veronica. Each mix runs around 6 minutes, packed with dancefloor-ready tracks from every season. The mix is expected to hit the airwaves in Q1 2026. 

There’s also a video mix available , check it out on the Visionpage.

WILDFM MINIMIX 1

Part of a crew of DJs who love mixing for different radio stations, I made this 8-minute mix for WildFM, aired sometime in 2024.

It’s mostly ’90s hits, because that era just hits different, with a few sneaky jumps to other times to keep it spicy. Short, energetic, no filler. Just vibes while it lasted.

No video mix yet, only sound… but hey, never say never.

Pure love for the craft, the classics, and the art of blending tracks till they click.

WILDFM MINIMIX 3

As part of a close-knit DJ crew always bouncing between radio stations, I crafted this 8-minute mix for WildFM, aired sometime in 2024, one of those radio moments that disappears into the air before you can even ask what track that was.

The heart of the mix lives firmly in the ’90s, because that decade simply refuses to fade out. Every track carries instant flashback energy, big hooks, bold sounds, and that familiar “wait… I know this!” feeling. Just when things feel comfortably nostalgic, I take a couple of sharp turns into other eras, keeping the ride unpredictable and just a little bit cheeky.

This mix wasn’t about slow builds or epic journeys. It was about speed, precision, and fun. Eight minutes, no wasted seconds, mixing on instinct, powered by muscle memory, radio pressure, and pure love for those classic records.

There’s no video mix (yet), so for now it exists the proper old-school way: sound only. Turn it up, close your eyes, and let your head do the visuals. And who knows, maybe the cameras will catch it next time.

At the end of the day, this mix is all about passion for the craft: honoring the classics, embracing the beautiful chaos of ’90s dance music, and chasing that perfect moment when two tracks meet like they were always meant to.

ITALO MIX DOS

After winning the RMXD DJ contest, the story didn’t stop there, it actually kicked into second gear. Riding that win, I jumped straight into creating a second Italo mix, this time armed with my new secret weapon: the Micromachine I won in the battle. And yeah… that thing is a sampling monster. Buttons everywhere, ideas flying, zero self-control.

For this mix, I went full oldschool Italo mode, taking inspiration from the legendary ’80s Italo megamixes like MAXMIX and the classic Bolero Mixes. Vinyl vibes, dramatic builds, flashy transitions, exactly how they used to do it when everything was bigger, bolder, and slightly over the top.

One of the highlights? I sampled the voice of Mike Platina, one of the greatest mixers of that era. His voice came straight from an RMXD podcast, and using it felt like having a piece of Italo history talking directly inside the mix. On top of that, I pulled heavy inspiration from his iconic “Energy For You” mixes, pure masterclass material.

The result is an Italo mix at heart, but not locked in a box. I also slipped in tracks from that era that I personally loved, even if they weren’t strictly Italo, then wrapped them all in an Italo-style layer. Same drama, same energy, same glow… just filtered through my own taste and edits.

So this mix is nostalgia, respect, and obsession rolled into one.

Oldschool roots, modern sampling, and pure love for the golden age of mixing, when hands were fast, edits were fearless, and everything had that unmistakable Italo shine

HIPHOP OLD SCHOOL MEGAMIX

This is a non-stop mix loaded with old-school hip-hop anthems from the ’80s and ’90s, the raw, golden-era sound that didn’t just entertain people, but built a culture from the ground up. This is the era where beats were dusty, lyrics mattered, and attitude was everything. The kind of hip-hop that taught you how to nod your head before you even knew why.

As far as I know, this mix was never broadcast. Back then, I wasn’t completely happy with it. I kept hearing things I wanted to fix, transitions that could be tighter, blends that could hit harder, moments that could breathe better. One day, I still want to rebuild this mix from scratch, armed with more experience and a sharper ear.

But here’s the thing… sometimes rough edges are exactly what give a mix its soul. And maybe, just maybe, this version already hits the right nerve for someone out there.

The setup was as honest as it gets: two turntables and a basic DAW, very much old-school mentality. Think Sonic Foundry / Sound Forge vibes. No fancy plugins, no overproduced tricks, no shortcuts. Just vinyl, timing, instinct, and a deep respect for the music.

This mix isn’t about perfection. It’s about feeling. Expect raw blends, dusty beats, and that unmistakable golden-era energy, hip-hop when it was hungry, loud, and unapologetically itself. Before algorithms. Before trends. When every record felt like a statement.

Hip-hop from the ’80s and ’90s has always been one of my favorite music styles. Not just to listen to, but to mix. There’s something timeless about it, the swing, the attitude, the storytelling. It doesn’t need polishing; it needs space to breathe.

So if you’re into real old-school hip-hop, the kind that still smells like vinyl crates, subway stations, and late-night radio shows, this mix might be for you.

It’s rough around the edges, but that’s exactly how hip-hop started.

RMXD CONTEST 2024

In 2024, I joined the RMXD DJ contest with a deceptively simple challenge: mix 3 records in 3 minutes.

Sounds easy, right? It isn’t.

The real challenge was turning three separate tracks into one solid, flowing whole, no awkward jumps, no chaos, just controlled madness. It instantly reminded me of the old-school live DJ contest “3 x 3 Doordraai”, where quick thinking, creativity, and nerve mattered more than perfection. That old format became my main inspiration.

To make it work, I leaned heavily into mashup thinking. I used multiple versions, edits, and stems of the three assigned tracks:

“Stay With Me” by Calvin Harris & Justin Timberlake (with Pharrell and Stacy versions in the mix),

“Cake By The Ocean” by DNCE,

“Uptown Funk” by Bruno Mars.

By chopping, looping, flipping, and layering different versions of the same songs, I could stretch those three records into something that felt fresh, dynamic, and alive, less like a strict mix, more like a mini mashup journey under serious time pressure.

There’s also a video mix of this challenge available on my Vision page, capturing the whole experiment in motion.

I didn’t win the contest, but honestly, that wasn’t the point. It was fun, creative, and a great reminder of how exciting mashup-style mixing can be. Three tracks, endless possibilities.

Definitely something I should do more often.

Short formats, tight rules, creative freedom, mashup mixing at its best.

JUST 4 FUN MEGAMIX

This mix exists for one very solid reason:

I had nothing better to do.

I think.

I know I made it. I just don’t remember why. And honestly, that kind of sums it up. Sometimes I just mess around, hit record, and see what happens. Recently I stumbled across this mix again, buried somewhere on my hard drive, and thought: why is this still sitting here doing nothing? So yeah, online it goes.

The mix jumps through different genres without asking permission, but somehow it works. It’s one of those mixes that doesn’t demand your full attention, perfect for car rides, cruising highways, zoning out, and wondering how you ended up three exits too far.

As usual, it was made in Ableton Live, because at this point that’s basically home base for most of my mixes. There’s no video mix for this one, at least not yet. Maybe one day, if time, motivation, and the universe align, I’ll make one. No promises.

So this mix isn’t about perfection, planning, or purpose.

It’s about fun, instinct, and accidentally making something enjoyable.

Listen to it. Or don’t.

Either way, enjoy it… or not.

WILDFM MINIMIX 4

As part of a tight DJ crew that treats radio stations like pit stops, I put together this 8-minute mix for WildFM, aired somewhere in 2024. One of those classic radio moments, here for a second, gone before you can even ask, “yo, what track was that?”

The mix is deeply rooted in the ’90s, because that decade simply refuses to leave the building. Big hooks, bold sounds, and instant nostalgia guaranteed. Every track comes with that “oh wow, I totally forgot about this one” feeling. And just when you get comfortable, I casually take a left turn into another era, nothing dramatic, just enough to keep you awake.

This wasn’t about long builds or emotional storytelling. This was fast, tight, and straight to the point. Eight minutes, zero filler. Mixing on instinct, running on muscle memory, mild radio stress, and an unhealthy love for classic dance records.

There’s no video mix yet, so for now it lives the old-school way: audio only. No visuals, just vibes. Turn it up, close your eyes, and let your brain do the special effects. Cameras may appear in the future… or not. We’ll see.

In the end, this mix is all about having fun with the craft: respecting the classics, embracing the beautiful chaos of ’90s dance music, and chasing that magical moment when two tracks click like they’ve known each other forever.

RMXD CONTEST 2021

This mix was created for a DJ contest hosted by the radio show RMXD, broadcast on Radio Stad Den Haag.

The assignment sounded simple on paper:

create a mix of no more than 15 minutes, using only music from the 1990s. There was just one non-negotiable rule, “Waterfall” by Atlantic Ocean had to be included. Any track outside the ’90s would mean point deductions, so precision mattered.

This contest was special because it was the very first DJ competition RMXD ever organized. Adding even more weight to the challenge, one of the producers of Waterfall, Lex van Coevorden, was part of the story. Lex is a true mixing legend from the ’80s, known for his work during the iconic Soulshow era with Ferry Maat. So yeah… no pressure at all.

The winner of that contest turned out to be Alex Ivens, and here’s where things get funny. One year later, when I entered and won the RMXD DJ contest myself, with a 10-minute Italostyle megamix (also available on this page), both Lex van Coevorden and Alex Ivens were sitting on the jury. Funny how things come full circle.

More than just a competition entry, this mix was a tribute to the ’90sa decade packed with energy, emotion, and unforgettable dance records. It was about respecting the rules, honoring the era, and letting the music speak. The ’90s weren’t just a decade; they were a feeling. And this mix was my way of capturing that moment in time.

Proof that in music, and in DJ culture, you never know where the next spin will take you.

WILDFM MINIMIX 5

As part of a tight DJ crew that treats radio stations like pit stops, I put together this 8-minute mix for WildFM, aired somewhere in 2024. One of those classic radio moments, here for a second, gone before you can even ask, “yo, what track was that?”

The mix is deeply rooted in the ’90s, because that decade simply refuses to leave the building. Big hooks, bold sounds, and instant nostalgia guaranteed. Every track comes with that “oh wow, I totally forgot about this one” feeling. And just when you get comfortable, I casually take a left turn into another era, nothing dramatic, just enough to keep you awake.

In the end, this mix is all about having fun with the craft: respecting the classics, embracing the beautiful chaos of ’90s dance music, and chasing that magical moment when two tracks click like they’ve known each other forever.

MIXED UP WORLD MEGAMIX

This mix was made for a colleague who handed me a stack of records and said, “Can you turn this into a megamix?”

Challenge accepted.

In reality, it became part of a larger mix series called “Who Cares About the Duke of Saint Patrick”, a title inspired by the colleague’s name, which works perfectly in Dutch and makes just enough sense to not explain any further. The series eventually grew into three megamixes, each running well over an hour.

The music itself is a proper mixed bag. Different styles, different moods, different eras, basically whatever was offered went into the blender. Somehow it all clicks, which is kind of the fun of a megamix: controlled chaos with a steady groove.

One funny detail: over time, I started spotting these mixes popping up on torrents and newsgroups, often under completely different names. I could get annoyed about that… or I could take it as a compliment. I chose the second option. If people keep sharing it, someone must be enjoying it.

Bottom line: this is a no-stress megamix, perfect for long trips by car, cruising on a bike, or zoning out on public transport. Press play, let it run, and don’t think too hard about it.

Because sometimes, a megamix doesn’t need a deep meaning, it just needs to sound good on the move.

WHO-CARES GOES DUTCH

This mix was made sometime around 2010 and features only Dutch music, mostly from before the year 2000, with a few exceptions, because even rules need a little flexibility. At some point, this mix actually aired on national radio. Which station exactly? That part is a bit blurry. Could’ve been 100% NL, could’ve been another station entirely. Let’s just say… it definitely escaped into the airwaves.

Originally, this mix was meant as a joke. The idea was to keep it short, maybe five minutes or so. But once I got into it, I figured: why stop now? One thing led to another, and suddenly I decided to just fill a whole hour. Classic case of losing track of time while having fun.

The mix is packed with feel-good Dutch tracks, perfect for car rides. Songs you can hum along to, or, like I often do, sing along loud and completely off-key. That’s not a problem, as long as you keep your car windows closed.

I sometimes forget that part, and then people in the city give you funny looks when you’re belting out Dutch lyrics with the window down. Either they stare… or they laugh and sing along. Both are fine reactions.

All in all, this mix is about fun, nostalgia, and enjoying classic Hollandse hits without taking things too seriously.

And somewhere in the back of my mind, the idea is still there:

to make a follow-up, blending old and new Dutch music into a fresh new mix.

One day… maybe. Until then,enjoy the Dutch vibes.

DEMO MEGAMIX

This mix is an unfinished demo, and to be honest, it will probably stay that way. The original project files in Ableton are long gone, which usually happens when you start something with great enthusiasm… and then never quite finish it. A classic case of “I’ll come back to this later”, and later never happens.

To make things even more official: I also forgot to use Ableton Live’s beloved “Collect and Save” function. So yeah… lesson learned. Or not.

Sadly, that means there’s no way to rebuild or complete this mix properly. So this is what we’ve got.

But honestly? That’s not necessarily a bad thing.

Even in its unfinished state, the mix works perfectly as a companion for long car rides, public transport journeys, or even a bike ride, bonus points for being healthier while listening. It’s not polished, it’s not perfect, but it’s enjoyable in that “started with good intentions” kind of way.

This mix is a tribute to the art of starting projects, losing focus, and still ending up with something fun. Not everything needs to be finished to be worth listening to. Sometimes the half-built ideas are the most honest ones.

So yeah, unfinished, unfixable, and still pretty enjoyable.

Just press play and enjoy it for what it is.

ZINLOOS GEWELDIG 2023

This mix is an absolute hot mess, and honestly, that’s the whole point.

Made for the RMXD show on Stad Radio Den Haag, I slapped the name “Zinloos Geweldig 2023” on it, not because the tracks are from 2023 (they’re definitely not), but because that’s when this musical accident happened.

There’s no master plan here. No sacred structure. No big-brain concept.

It’s freestyle mixing, edits flying in from left field, scratches where they probably shouldn’t be, and transitions that happen because my hands moved faster than my brain. Pure “let’s see what happens if I do this” energy.

This mix exists because sometimes you don’t want to overthink it. You just turn the knobs, push a few buttons, raise an eyebrow, and carry on like nothing happened. Bit reckless? Yeah. Necessary? Probably not. Fun? Absolutely.

It’s radio DJing the way it’s meant to be sometimes: experimenting, taking silly risks, ignoring the rulebook, and trusting the flow, even when the flow clearly had a pint too many. Chaotic, unnecessary, slightly confusing… but somehow it still works.

Made with love for radio, respect for the craft, and that deeply British urge to say

“Yeah, this’ll probably be fine” and press play anyway.

Zinloos? Maybe.

Geweldig? Definitely.
