Van Gelder

Rutger van Gelder was born in Enschede (Holland), screamin so loud during his birth the doctors immediately noticed this little kid really wanted to be heard. Although they predicted a glorious future at the local church choir, Rutger eventually learned to speak his voice in another way.

He grew up listening to his brother abusing turntables in the attic, and two sisters singing just all day long. This contributed to his massive affection for music. At the age of 13 he used a computer to combine samples, vocals en loops to record this sound. When he found out the same result could be reached using turntables and a mixer his irresistible urge of being a DJ was born.
His career started with local events, followed by a variety of nightclubs and developed to a massive amount of different party's.
While his DJ career developed his producing skills grew too, fabricating tracks and remixes in all sorts of genres, supported by the biggest DJ's to walk the earth.

His remix of 'Keltic' was a huge hit in the Balkan and was supported on SlamFM and Radio538 (Holland). He remixed tracks for artists such as David Guetta, Nicky Romero, Flo Rida and Far East Movement, to name a few.

Nowadays, he performs in various clubs and on a variety of events across the Netherlands and beyond, letting the crowd reach their zenith with groovy house-based DJ sets.

Combining classic sounds, groovy beats and dazzling vocals using revolutionary techniques, this DJ is about to change nightlife as you know it.
