Raymon Hollander

Raymon already got interested in music at a young age. He has been spinning records since the early nineties when he discovered House and Breakbeat. As his music knowledge expanded, he went on searching for more depth and quality in electronic dance music. Then he got into Detroit Techno. To find out more about the history of Techno he has collected most important classics and did a lot of research on the pioneers from Detroit. Artists and dj’s like: Laurent Garnier, Carl Craig, Derrick May, Kenny Larkin, Stacey Pullen, Kevin Saunderson, Vince Watson, Funk d’Void, Heiko Laux, Steve Rachmad, Dimitri, etc. really inspired him to develop his own style and take his dj skills to a higher level. In his DJ sets he will bring you an organic mixture of adventurous underground techno music, music that will take you on a journey with funky rhythms, warm strings, futuristic sounds and fx.

Raymon has been working in the music industry since the mid-nineties. First at Moxmusic, what was Holland’s largest record distributors at the time and more recently he worked at Rush Hour Distribution (Amsterdam). Together with Marsel van der Wielen (Delsin Records) and Tim Nieburg (Nachtplan) he’s been hosting a monthly Detroit Techno night ‘Planet Delsin’ at 11 with guests like Stacey Pullen, Vince Watson (live), Steve Rachmad, Joris Voorn, Redshape (live), Fabrice Lig, Quince (live), Deetron, Octave One (live), NewworldAquarium, Rolando, Laurent Garnier and Derrick May. He’s also hosted a monthly night ‘Metropolis’ in DJ Café TWSTd for a few years where several dj’s and live-acts like Dimitri, Benny Rodrigues, Quince, Joachim, 2000 and One, Jay Samuel, Warren Fellow, Jerome and many more came by to rock the place. Having played at several parties in Paradiso, Studio 80, Sugar Factory, Stubnitz, NDSM Bunker, Club Home, Tivoli de Helling, Club NL, Rockit Festival, Catacomb Studio, Waakzaamheid and more, he’s been around for a while.

Lately he’s been focusing more on the production side of music. His love for warm sounds and futuristic beats are main ingredient for his productions. Mostly teaming up with like-minded friends having jam sessions in his home studio, he’s working hard to finish the tracks for his first record.
