Techno Live Sets

Check out this five hour live set by LLout at The Weekender Festival organised by Marieke and Friends. A true journey.

For LLout (Lammert Lettinga) from Amsterdam it has always been all about the music. Born and raised in a family with a passion for a wide variety of genres, it became an important part of his life from an early age. Shortly after electronic music caught his attention in the mid-00’s, he started DJ’ing and has been doing so ever since. Feeling right at home behind the decks, he is often joined by FLEAUX (Floris Brandwacht). Together they spin under the name 'Riptide Soundsystem' and launched a series of dance events on boats, called 'Springtij' (Riptide in English). LLout is at his best when combining several styles in one set, twisting them into a melodic whirlwind of disco, afro, deep house, tech-house and techno. Taking you on a timeless journey through sound.

More than thirty years after gracing the decks at school parties in front of his friends, he has traded the school's gym for super clubs.

From recording videotapes and cassettes to selling his own mixtapes on the school's playground. Sebastiaan grew up an ambitious teenager with a taste for the eclectic and a talent for mixing. As the local go-to guy for music, he became his own record label and found a creative way to expand his record collection and fund his first turntables. In the meantime, he took on a job at the local record store, helping customers that would one day be some of the world's most popular DJ's. Those were the early steps of an impressive career and the first signs of Sebastiaan's inner entrepreneur. His intelligent trades and determined mind would be the foundation for many big things ahead.

Fast forward twenty years and Sebastiaan looks back on a career as one of the most successful business persons in The Netherlands, setting up more than twenty companies. However, despite his success, he led a stressful and unhappy life. 2010 brought a turning point when he ended up in the hospital with serious health issues. That very moment, he knew a change was coming. And found that music was still on his side. Besides selling his companies and traveling the globe to share his story – building a foundation to his Redesign book - he took a deeper dive back into music. He set his mind to it, rediscovered the decks and locked himself up in the studio, coached by many industry pro's - all to recapture the art of music.

Eager to build an active community of like-minded music lovers, he launched his very own Redesign Records in 2015. It became the home to many of the scene's rising talents and heroes, as well as being an outlet for his own originals. Clocking up more than a million plays on Spotify, 'Super Me', 'Temple' and 'Money on the Table' were given a warm welcome by the next generation of music lovers – carrying a sound that belongs nowhere else but on today's dance floors, supported by fellow DJ producers, such as Don Diablo, Martin Garrix, and Zonderling.

With electronic dance music woven into his DNA, it's a second nature for Sebastiaan to share his vision on what good music sounds like. With a sound that captures the full spectrum of house music and techno, from deep bass matters and melodic ways, his sets and originals are well-balanced and invite the listener to think outside the box.

Where perfection, passion, and persistency meet, is precisely where you'll find this inspiring DJ, producer, and entrepreneur. Living his legacy, Sebastiaan Hooft is more eager than ever before to hold on to his first love and share it with the rest of the world.

Welcome to a unique find by our label manager: Sergio Tee’s live set With love… from iT. This mix set contains some of the biggest tunes from disco iT. The famous Amsterdam club that opened on September 7, 1989, and closed in 2002.

Many requests were sent to Sergio to do a special after two incredible live streams at Club Mystique Amsterdam. So he decided to to a live stream with only iT classics. He selected records you don’t hear anymore. It became an hour with the best tunes from then.

A total of eighteen tracks were recorded, and the mix set was touched up due to the bad quality. The story is that this set is ripped from the live stream and touched up in the studio. “At first, there was no plan to record the set. I prepared something, and I just played this set. That evening around sixty people were watching the show, but the day after the live stream was viewed by thousands,” said Sergio Tee. “And then, the idea came up to rip the audio and editing it. I was amazed by the sound quality, though. I mean, I really expected it was terrible quality and unuseful. But we checked it, and we thought it would be great to release.”

Enjoy this classics packed live set, brought to you by Redesign Records.
