A Legendary Journey in Rotterdam’s Music Scene

DJ R.I.P. started spinning Top 40 hits at age 14 in Capelle aan den IJssel before turning to hip-hop and scratch DJing in the late ’80s. A life-changing encounter with (hip) house in 1990 led him to organize his own house parties in Rotterdam and Gouda, booking techno and hardcore acts that attracted hundreds. Throughout the ’90s, he threw afterparties for Energiehal events, played everything from hardcore to mellow garage, and built a drive-in show business performing at student societies and corporate functions. By 2009, he was back to organizing parties—including a stage at Nature One—and soon found himself in top clubs like Thalia Rotterdam and Lexion Westzaan, cementing his place in the Dutch electronic scene.
